Just got this funny letter from Mistress Kang… Wish I'd know about it when I was writing the article, it would have made a perfect cover shot!
Subject: SLUTTY TATTOO ;-)Hi!
I just read your article about the generalization of tattooed chicks being slutty. I have 4 tattoos, my first was when I was 19 of a butterfly over my waxed patch of pubic hair and my last tattoo was "SLUT" in heavy red lettering. I've attached a couple of pics, thought you might like. I'll try adding them to your site ;-)
Best Regards,
Jessy Kang

Now, maybe I'm being the piercing equivalent of a grammar nazi, but I don't think so. I would not go to a piercer who doesn't know the names of the piercings. Sure, they might be a good piercer, but it means two things. First, it means that they haven't researched what they're doing and they're not up to speed on piercing literature (that is, they're operating on the dark). Second, and continuing on the same theme, because they don't know the terminology, it means they can't enter into a meaningful dialog with other piercers, which I think is very important.
It might have been excusable in 1994, but it's not OK in 2004.
