00:00I
00:02Mean cardi anything she does is cool. Oh, yeah, that looks like it might be a surface piercing
00:08So that's a little different. So that is
00:12Called a surface. It's a surface bar. It looks like a staple and
00:16You pierce entry and exit and then you put the surface bar at
00:21Those take a long time to heal and the thing about surface is it scars really badly?
00:28So the more time it takes to heal the more scar tissue builds up the larger the scar, right?
00:34the reason why you don't get a scar when you get an injection or a
00:38Vaccine or blood drawn is because the body doesn't have time to build up that scar tissue
00:43So you don't really notice it surface bar has to pierce the entire channel. It's called a fistula and
00:49that whole thing that she's gonna heal there is at least a year and those things are
00:57Really hard to heal you've got to give it your all and then being in that location
01:02Me personally if I had that I'd have toilet paper all over that thing all day long
01:06So women especially Cardi B if someone can pull it off and and and heal it. It's gonna be her that woman is a badass
01:13I just it you know the general public I
01:18Don't know if they're gonna heal it as well as she can
01:21But if you if you if you give it your all and you wanted to get that piercing
01:26You know, I'd say be careful infection can be
01:30a little easier in that location and other locations
01:34I have I sent you a picture of one I did I have two pictures of that
01:38They were sisters from Brazil only time I've ever done it
01:43There's gonna be someone that's gonna want to do this
01:45I if they come into my studio want to do it. I would probably counsel them
01:49you
01:51Know let them know I most times I probably wouldn't do it, you know, it's just because
01:59Once you do something like that, you own it. So all the problems that come in you've got to own those too
02:06So I take personal responsibility if I do a piercing I wanted to execute it
02:11Well, and if something happens, I'm going to be there for them and take care of it with them
02:15I did the micro dermals for her on her chest and her lip piercing for the L cover remember
02:22remember that
02:23That really cool cover she did for Al that shot was badass
02:27I love the the angle of it how they focused it right up here
02:31and it was she had one anchor from the Bronx that she got I forget the name of the studio and then I did the
02:37Two underneath it when you did her original piercings, you know, what was her pain level? Does she just take it like a G?
02:43No, no
02:46Offset was a G. He was right there. He was that guy's one of the coolest dudes I've ever met in my life
02:52That dude's just a badass
02:54Cardi handled it. She did it. So that's badass
02:59but
03:00Yeah, you know, I ain't mad at her man. It's nerve-wracking. I get nervous when I get pierced
03:05I've been piercing almost 19 years 19 years this year. I'm gonna get a little nervous. That's normal being nervous doesn't mean you're weak
03:12That means your brain is protecting the body
03:15It's okay to be nervous and when you go through with it
03:18That means you're brave being nervous and still doing it is the definition of bravery
