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.
