What is so bad about the LPC?...I just saw it on the UPB list of 'bad'...I
have never been there, but wondered what was wrong with it..

Love

I assume that there was a lovely red cross underneath it ? (or more than
one ?) That cross is due to someone, who has attended that particular
establishment, being of the opinion that the establishment was not to be
recommended to others. Your best bet as to the actual why of that
decision is to email the person who submitted the negative report.
Unfortunately, email addresses change, but there again, so do places.

There are legal reasons why fuller information is not posted the The
List.

If you are after work in London, I hear that Tusk in Covent Garden is to
be recommended.

LPC is, or at least was until recently, run by a certain Patrick
Bartholomew.

Patrick, whilst having been around the business a long time, has some
rather "different" views on certain things, the way they are done, the
way they should be done and the way they are allowed to be done.

a specific example of this, is, or was, the use of injectable
anaesthetics - illegal if you are not a Dr. or qualified person. Patrick
has never claimed to be qualified, but used such methods.

He also came up with the fantastic idea of a PA gun.

I have no personal experience, except video footage, which is quite
frankly, scary.

not sure how it falls, but isn't transcrotal a psudosurgical procedure - i
remember reasding somewhere that it definitley needs suturing of some

and rot your baby making bits.

not a nice prospect.

that's gotta put the price up some... also if is *is* pseudosurgical then

Technically any scrotal piercing is trans-scrotal in nature. Like the two I
have for example.

However, surgery would almost certainly be required for a trans-testicular
mod, which are extremely unusual (and potentially very very dangerous)
heavy-duty work.

Fucking hell, you're asking for trouble with one of them - you can't drive
metal through an internal organ and expect it to function as normal!

Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised at any service the London Piercing Clinic
offered, tbh. They probably have an automated testicle-drilling device these
days...

Is that your basis for determining what *is* or *isn't* a surgical
procedure? whether or not you've had it done?

:p

see the bit where I said "dunno", that means "I don't know", I wasn't
arguing for, or against.

So no, that's not my basis of determination, only my way of saying, "I don't
know".

I did have a nice long post written up about the bad things I've heard,
the attitude of Patrick B (who although retired still does lots of work
there), and general shittyness of the place and the people who are
nearly fanatical about it on IAM, but it got eaten up somewhere in the
mailserver at work

so instead I'll say, stick with Tusk, it'll be the best thing you can
do. I'd have a cross under LPC if I had ever gone there, but I won't
ever do that

I've once seen ( a long time ago) a photo of a trans-scrotal. I believe the
procedure took quite a long time, with the suturing etc to get the front and
back surfaces to heal together before the piercing was done through the
centre, between the two balls and their associated "plumbing". I think a
fairly large stud was placed in the pierce after it was healed, and later, a
hollow stud. Warnings were posted at the time of the risks involved, and
against every high street piercing studio "having a go" at it. The piercing
DIDN'T go through any organ, although play piercings were pictured in PFIQ
of such actual things.

Unfortunately, I've had the ... er... pleasure? of seeing Strollers
Transcrotal several times. He kept bloody showing me. And anyone else
who looked remotely pierced.
Bless ya stroller, for edumacating me.

But anyway, his seemed to be a cut, with a 10mm (maybe it was 8, I
forget) PTFE rod through. Done in one session, I believe, with a few
check up trips to make sure it wasn't infected, etc.

I'm pretty sure he'll be along to give me abuse any minute now.

But could possibly come in handy a few weeks/months/years later when you hit
F9 and an unexpected snack suddenly pops out from behind it.

<snip 13 lines of sig>

Chris, welcome to the group.

Firstly, please read the FAQ, top posting is not the preffered method
within usenet, and your sig is HUGE, 4 lines is the general guidelines.

Secondly, could you expand on your own experiences with LPC and Patrick?
What did you have done, when, how was it done, was anaesthetic used, and
by what methods etc.

Also, I'd be interested in how you believe PB (or anyone else for that
matter) has "worked hard to improve standards in the industry" and
whether it has been effort well spent givent he current "standards in
the industry". or rather total lack of.

Lastly and OT: I note on your website there is some text relating to
Quality and ISO - what's your forté in that area? know much of Six Sigma
/ Lean? It's something I'm getting into currently.
