SeeSea Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 American College of Emergency Physicians - Tattoos, Piercings Can Present Problems This is an article from the American College of Emergency Physicians that has a wild mix of info about possible medical concerns/complications associated with tattoos, piercings and modifications. Some of the wheat - how to remove some piercings. Some of the chaff: "Most tattoo artists have had no formal training in anatomy, infection control, or universal precautions." And then there's this: At Dr. Chin's institution, it's not uncommon to see problematic penis rings, in which a metal ring that the patient has placed over his penis to keep an erection becomes stuck and interferes with blood flow. "We call the fire department" to come cut off the ring, she said. These patients can't be given too much sedation, because the room must be free of excess oxygen when the fire department's saw sends sparks flying. Oh my.

a1steaks Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I own a penis and it sounds very terrifying. I don't have many rules for life, but one of them is nothing metal goes near my crotch. daveborjes and Pete tattoo freak 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5622-tattoos-piercings-can-present-problems/#findComment-102787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It's not really even an article; it's a list. I'm not sure what the point is.

OnyxRose Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Oh, you should! They are lots of fun to play with! Well, yeah, but I'm not interested in keeping it when playtime is over. I'd much rather it stay attached to him.

Colored Guy Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That sounds terrifying. And I don't even own a penis. Penises are like boats... you're probably better off to have a friend that has one rather than owning one yourself.
