If the chaos friend is EVER the voice of reason then you are down the wrong road 😂

It was alarming for sure

Thats like classic eugene tho, hes always logic and reason

I thought this exactly! Lol

I’m two minutes in and already feel like this comment will be accurate 😂

And the fact that she also explained why Zach couldn't get his tounge pierced as well.

thats how u know they are professionals!! we love to see it

It really feel that way 😂

I didn't call my mama 😂 but she knew that I was gonna get it at some point 😂😂

Bruh

literally- it feels weird having these incredibly unsafe methods shown as viable

your opinion lost all validity when you didn't mention 5 minute crafts.

@@kaylapart wdym?

Walmart still gets eliminated somehow

I absolutely love this analogy. I got my ears pierced at claires in 2012 and the gun got stuck. (those holes closed over) and here we are, they’re STILL getting stuck.

bro THIS

@@Z.Takahashi-Yangliterally 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭…hence why I don’t have pierced ears..only septum 😊

to be far, its not suppose to be used for plastic ears

No

This is wild! lmaooo

The shaaade. 😂

Reminds me of Trypod 229 (timestamp 3:10) when Miles said he was close enough to touch Zach and he did!😅😄

can STILL kiss Zach as much as he wants lol

Thats still not true… was gold

I feel like this is common with mall shops when the client has small earlobes. My brother (who has even smaller earlobes than Zach) got his ears pierced a few years ago, and one of them ended up being really low. I think he took that one out eventually.

@@gkeller1031 makes sense! it’s hard to see what you’re doing when not using a regular piercing needle

It’s so low omg 😭😭

It was so bad..... As soon as she marked it I knew we were in for trouble.

So bad… another example of why needles are better than guns because you can be more precise.

I think it suited him too, and he already had his doctor's approval! Perhaps the healing process would be lengthened because he takes immunosuppresants, but he really could have pulled off that septum!

All of this! Definitely agree really suites him!

I went to that tattoo shop they went to years ago for my nip piercings and to get my septum done and everyone was always so sweet there omg they picked an amazing place to go

me too as a septum haver it rarely doesnt suit anyone right? i think it always looks great

I thought the septum looked fantastic on him too!

fr

was hoping someone would mention this, its so off center

It's literally gonna migrate out his ear or something 💀💀💀💀💀

SAME! Love this new take on the series too, Zach's directorial vibes are so strong and I love it and creating a story line in the first ep was genius

Also, the people who give piercings in tattoo shops are specialists. They know how to keep you calm, and they have techniques where the piercing is done before you're even aware of it. You can also return at any time if you think you're developing an infection (which is less likely with a sterile needle).

Yes, go to a tattoo parlor because their piercers are trained and tattoo parlors have strict sanitation guidelines. And it's far more painless than the guns which can catch, rip, and scar easily. Plus the jewelry are of a higher quality. I have gotten so many infections from mall piercing jewelry in my ears compared to from a parlor. Also, do not pierce a child's ears. Piercings should always be done with the consent of the individual getting them.

All the gun piercings were struggling

Omg. Yes. Loved her being all "nope, vein. We can't do that."

She was such a professional. Definitely illustrates why going to a tattoo parlor/piercing parlor is the best choice, I could see someone at Claire’s or Ulta piercing it anyway.

Yea I love when people know how to do their job/care about their customers and don't just wanna steal their money. I had to get the bottom of my belly button pierced because of how my belly button is, I can only imagine if I never went to them (a professional) and just had a friend do it like I wanted too when I was younger, I wouldn't absolutely regretted it.

Right especially with the tongue! Piercing that vein could kill someone. So glad she checked it out first

I thought everyone had that vein LOL 🤡 learn something new everyday. No tongue piercing for me

Can confirm septum piercings are only really painful afterwards if you accidentally drop your phone on your face. Totally not speaking from experience...

I wanted a cheap piercing, but upon seeing the 3d printed gun, I ran. Okay, it wasn't actually 3d printed, but it might as well have

My septum was also really smooth! I had a great piercer who took their time making sure it was the best placement for my anatomy. The initial piercer was a sharp pain but once the jewelry was in, it mostly just felt weird because I had a foreign object in my nose but it never hurt. I kept it clean and flipped up while it was healing and didn’t have any pain at all. It was a great experience! I also went to an actual shop with an experienced piercer.

And it’s not really that expensive overall. Like it’s not chump change but it’s not going to be an entire paycheck. I think with tip the cost was $75.

There are also actual piercing shop, not all of them do them in tattoo shops

Rainie strikes again as USUAL SHEESHHH

I thought the septum one looked good too. Zach pulled it off well.

I'm sad he took it out too. Why go through the anxiety and pain of a septum piercing just to take it out right after 😔

It was really pierced way too low omg

Chemist here (and also someone who's ♿️ and has to worry about lots of rxns to stuff)----I agree with this!! I have like, 5 tattoos & spend a majority of my time talking to my artists about things like their training, differences between state requirements for bloodborn pathogen training & apprenticeships (or even tattoo school altogether). What I've heard is places like Oregon have the highest requirements for safety, especially when it comes to making sure people are trained in pathogens. Also, when it comes to things like tattoos, some pigments have different components that people will have more or less reactions to (a whole other side tangent about why some of us disabled folks do linework & shading only). My main point: DO YOUR HOMEWORK, and please don't be scared of tattoo shops! Some may be more "scary" but honestly, some are whimsical, magical foresty places---others may have an entirely different vibe! I PROMISE they're not all scary, just find some that are women/femme-owned, or are 🏳️‍🌈-owned. Those are a lot different vibes! Source: a friend literally owns their own shop in PDX (Hedgewitch Tattoo, one of the magical witchy shops I mentioned)

honestly even two weeks is more training than some places with guns get. i was briefly at claire’s and i pierced a cardboard and silicone ear like three times and watched four piercings and that was it

Yeah I didn’t even trust my ears to Claire’s lol I went to a shop

Yeah if I'm getting a piercing I want one from someone with a ton of them haha

I would rather get the gun. It’s fast and easy. And Clair’s looks a lot more welcoming

@@Anna-B until you get an infection😭

@@Anna-B A piercing gun hurts more than a needle. A piecing gun is not sterile. A piercing gun causes trauma, crushing its way through what ever body part you pierce. A piercing gun piercing takes longer to heal. Going to a good piercing studio is the best. The needle cuts a hole. It is sterile. The piercing heals faster. It is actually less painful. You get a better jewellery that makes room for the swelling that will happen. It is fast. The first 4 pairs of ear piercings I had was made with a gun, the following 24 (12 pairs) have been done with a needle. It is a lot better for the body. Less risk of infection, a lot less risk.

Did he take it out?

He did take it out….but all he has to do is buy the fake ones that look like a real horseshoe septum and he’d still be golden 😊😊😊

Fr, that fake was so bad, even if she didn’t mention it off camera, there’s no way she didn’t know. Love that she went along with it. 😂

Dang I wish I watched the whole video before I read this comment! 🤣

Took out the robot too

Thanks for calling!

My 1st and 3rd ear piercings were done at Claire's. 2nd in my sisters friend's big sisters kitchen. 4th a tattoo shop. Currently all these years later 3rd n 4th I still use lol

thanks for calling! 🤖 😊

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

They seem super cool! They remind me a lot of the place I go to.

The comedic timing is literally perfect lmao

I personally can't stand those silly bull piercings, but to each their own.

I have a septum too, it's so nice!

He sounded really concerned!!

The worst part is Eugene really wants a piercing, but he's afraid of what his mom might think. I think he should get a secret piercing. Like a septum that can be flipped up or nipple rings. Something that he could easily cover up.

I genuinely thought they had put in a hoop at first lol, all that build up just for her to pierce it too low 😂

She should have wiped off that mark and redone it as soon as it didn't work how she'd planned. That was the first red flag lol.

Oooof that was so bad!! This is a training video of what not to do - he has to let that heal - hopefully no keloid

@@Leaf321 Right?! I was screaming in my head when she said "I'll place it in the middle". NO! Redo it!

Ulta did him dirty

hahaha roly did immediately come to mind when i saw the thumbnail

and Treacle Tatts/Lauren

YES.

Literally!

She meant it sincerely too, which makes it better 😂

I was 😭😂

i was thinking the same thing.

There was a note on the screen that said he got his doctor's approval first

The lack of masks makes me worry for the team’s health.

You can still live life w/ an autoimmune disease lol I have a decent amount of body adornment. As long as you listen to your body, you’re good.

@@khazermashkes2316 preface: we obviously don't personally know Zach and he can do whatever he wants. BUT! it is wild to me that he made content about how seriously people should be taking COVID and brought in people in the disability activism community to help him speak on it, but he doesn't mask in public anymore. :/

For anyone wondering, the local tat shop is called Studio City Tattoo, in Los Angeles. It’s my absolute favorite and go-to tat and piercing shop. Amazingly talented and friendly staff, they’ve become like family to me.

I got my doubles at studs and it was great. Needle not gun, used fancy measuring device, and very clean. Sad to see it eliminated.

yes it is too low

Bad placement is everyone who gets piercings’ worst fear 😂

I thought that

ikr! I missed the last month or so of plogs but I was like wait didn't you all agree that you aren't doing this bc it's a bad idea? Zach what happened!

Honestly if my spouse told me I couldn’t do something, it would make me absolutely do it 😂

@@kaybug689 Lol vibes!! And in case anyone reads my comment in any particular way, I wanna clarify that I'm picturing Maggie being worried specifically about the health implications! (Especially after the glass incident!) ;) Spouses are 100% individuals and should do their thang!!

I thought they just discussed ears on the plog!! why am I seeing his tongue being marked!! I'm so scared

@@megbdaisy they were gonna try for the tongue because it’s an easy heal but he has a big ass vein in his tongue and the brilliant piercer said no way Jose

I didn't know there was a computer game by this name. I watched an animation by the same name in Netflix and I loved it. Is the computer game similar to the animation?

@@katie18976 The computer games originated the entire Carmen Sandiego franchise. The animation really doesn't have much to do with the games, as they were more of a geography-education game based on finding the international criminal, Carmen Sandiego. Then, the games spun off into the PBS game show, "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego", which is probably the most iconic creation from the franchise.

Where in the world is Eugene Lee Yang 😂

Absolutely genius. One big party and they all arrive within like 15 minutes of each other (or whatever it takes to set up and leave).

@@Kimberly-lp4nh oh yes! and it could feature tons of the crew since catering events come with tooons of food

This is a great suggestion!!! 💯💯💯

This needs to be liked more! Amazing idea

yess such a good idea!!

Plus the “muffled concern” had me rolling

"I don't work here, so I can kiss Zach as much as I want"

He’s 38!

Almost 40 baybeee (sorry eugene)

​@@jennymcelligottI had no idea Eugene was that old 😭😭😭

I got my ears pierced at 27 only cos I remembered they can’t stop me lmao

I got my extra piercing on both ears when i was 28. I went with my dad, he's pretty cool about it. But i was worried about my mom and he was like "just don't tell her" I ended up telling her and i'm still alive 😂

it’s AWFUL for your skin too, it’s just as bad on the lobes unfortunately

Yeah, I had mine done with guns when I was nine and it was fine but if I were going to get more piercings, I definitely would go to my tattoo place.

@@unapologeticallylizzy i also got my first piercings done with a gun around age 12, but the three i've had since then all were done at a professional piercing place. Way more expensive but a lot lower risk of complications

@@rainonkimsrainbows7942 Pretty sure Claire's does it for free and you just pay for the earrings 😂 but yeah. I now have six tattoos all from the same place who recently got a piercer, and that lot are definitely people I trust to stick needles in me

I got my ears pierced when I was like...5? not in a Claire's but in a mall kiosk that uses the same shitty piercing guns. The placement and everything was great HOWEVER...the gun got stuck. For a while. Like they were wiggling around trying to get it out for several minutes which as a child was a fucking terrifying experience. Like I am 33 now and can barely remember anything from being 5 years old but I REMEMBER that.

Omg sounds like trauma

I'm amazed that I never had an issue with Claire's. I got my ears pierced at Claire's when I was 7 and then my second set at the Icing when I was 14. They both healed quickly and I had no infection or even a hint of an infection. I'm guessing that was because kids heal more quickly than adults, but if I ever have a kid, their piercings will come from a professional piercer.

Wait… you got trained??? I just got thrown in the pit one Sunday when the assistant manager didn’t want to pierce anymore

I got mine pierced at Claire’s at 4. I have no memory of it though

the way they have random bottles of dawn placed about 😂

thanks for the spoiler 😂

That’s what I said!!

that woman shouldn’t be allowed to pierce. from the moment she used the pen and didn’t clean up the huge mark, i could tell she was incredibly inexperienced

It’s actually crazy how bad the placement was and I feel bad for people who actually have their ears done there 😅

It looks like it's dangling off in the clips 🫠

crying tht everyone noticed immediately

To be fair, she knew it was a joke and was treating it as such. I’m sure she’d have been more serious on an actual ear. Side note: this is not me encouraging anyone to go to a Claire’s for a piercing. Piercing guns and cartridges create so much unnecessary trauma to the ear and increase your healing time, pain levels, and odds for infection and/or rejection. Please see a professional. Edit: typo

"The piercer"😂😂

I got my ears pierced at Claire's at 4am and they are so uneven

@@dorklordess9971why was claire’s open at 4 am

@sav6757 black friday like 10 years ago or so. It was a really dumb decision

I love how they ask him on it
