REVISED
Yikes...I had to buy this to see if the information was accurate. It's not...
There is repeated mentioned in this PDF of the pincushion act NOT hurting... and that is
complete BS. None of these methods described will act as painkillers- not pinching the skin
beforehand, nothing EXCEPT lidocaine - but stay away from it. In FACT, pain is important to do this
act safely.
If you feel 'electricity' ...if you get too close to the bone and hit a major
nerve line, you know to back up and change your trajectory before major damage is done.
Even after doing this act for over 15 years, I still sometimes hit veins and nerves. I used to
have a lot more muscle tissue than I do now. 'Skewer Real Estate' as I call it. Muscle is your
friend for these acts & if you are skinny with small muscles you are going to have a very hard time
getting around major nerve lines and veins. Doing the pincushion act in your cheeks requires a lot
more knowledge than just showing a picture of Sally. There are three sheets of muscle in your
cheeks. Nerves run through there as well.
I feel this PDF is dangerous and wrong. No
mention whatsoever of the risks of damaging a major nerve line or how to deal with hematomas which
even professionals get from time to time, Etc.
I think this PDF was written by someone who
has stuck a needle through their bodyparts a few times and considers themselves an expert as a
result of that and the Antiquated papers that they reference, but if they are skipping these very
important points than they are not and really have no business publishing such a thing.
Also, alcohol? That won't kill necrotic tissue on a used needle. There is so much wrong with
this it actually offends me that it was published.
