oriolopocholo you haven’t realized people are sick of vices SJW liberal news model? It’s almost sickening in 2019. I miss when they went around the world reporting on actual news, now they just shill out the same opinion every other liberal news does.
Honestly, I think Taji has balls of steel for his interview style. Not only does he go to (allegedly) dubious establishments but then he proceeds to discuss bad and insulting reviews WHILE they're performing the service. And not just any service... This guy asks about reviews while getting a piercing, tattoo, haircut and even a botox session. "So while you have my nipple clamped and are about to stab me, I'd like to discuss why people say you're a PoS". Taji has my seal of approval for being likeable, funny and brave lol. 👍
@finn bell STFU with that word. Racist trash and before you come with that "I'm black" bs you're definitely not black, but if by some magical miracle you are, then that's even worse. What's so hard about not using 1 word? Especially if you're white or know the history, disgusting.
It is not the fact that he cant handle criticism, the man was prepped and ready to do piercing when he IS ambushed with questions about negative reviews. Think if you were a grieving mother and a concerned person was asking consoling you asking personal questions when you find out that women is a reporter tring to get dirt on deceased.
L Breezy he wasn’t just some random customer. He came there to get some service and paid them for it and what he asked wasn’t anything crazy. It’s a very simply question to ask someone about their reviews as guest. Just say what your doing to change your location for the better
Professional piercer and piercing shop owner here. Couple questions... did they ask you any health questions or have you fill out any paperwork before the piercing? Did he offer advice on aftercare and tell you what to expect? (Such as crusting and slight discharge during healing) Also, holding your breath is not a safe way to do it. I imagine people get lightheaded or pass out in his shop more often than they should. Thanks for taking the risk for us... but maybe go to a 5 star piercing shop and see the difference.
Melissa B AGREED!! I had to fill out a waiver n they asked me quite a few questions beforehand..(he also had be breathe in real deep n then let it out as he went thru..which is how most of the piercings I have ever gotten have been done).. I'm still just glad I haven't had any problems with mine
The guy had a legitimate point about the ambushing. It'd be respectful to ask before starting if it's ok to discuss about the bad reviews. I know it'd make making this series more difficult, sure, but it's a bit rude coming prepared and ambushing
i love the 80/90's aesthetic these videos have in the graphics and soundtracks. it goes from mom's old workout VHS's to Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen level dramatic music hahaha
i've never in my life been told to 'hold my breath' while being pierced, i've always been directed to breathe out while the needle is inserted. the nipple piercing also looked a little too shallow to me.
@@funny3scene alcohol thins blood. So getting a tattoo or piercing after drinking could mean you lose a lot more blood. It also increases your chances of passing out.
I will admit when I first saw this dude I was hating and accused him of stealing the video series idea from the "here's the scoop" guy. But this... is just next level man... dedicated to his craft. Nothing but respect
When it comes down to it, most entertainers "steal" their ideas from someone or something else. Unless it's copied word for word, like Dennis Leary did, it's just how it goes. You take an idea and expand upon it or add your own flare to it. Of course, there are some genuinely original ideas, but there are only so many things you can do as an entertainer. Just look at how many songs use the same chord progressions. It's kind of the same thing, only not nearly as limited.
@@vivssoto Fillers can permanently ruin, numb, or even paralyze your face and they did that -- while I'd agree with you on a personal level, I feel that argument against it is moot given their past decisions.
I’ve binge watched every episode. Literally the best thing Vice has done for a while. So funny and awkward in equal and perfect measure. Love it. Please make more. Do a Miami edition.
My nipples were in pain watching this. Have so much respect for u Taji!!! This takes a lot of courage and I love how you're living ur life with no regrets!
I’ve been to this place in Brooklyn. I loved this place and went with my girl. I didn’t get piercings and neither did she. But they have these Sip and Tattoo events that are lit!!! You get Drinks and you use tattoo guns and tattoo a melon. Definitely recommend to go on a date. Piercings on the other hand I can say nothing. My girl loved this event though.
I love this whole series, but I gotta admit, bringing up all the dudes bad reviews right as he was getting ready to poke u wasn't a great idea! Piercer's also get a little nervous. They want to do a good job, make the client comfortable, be as quick as they can... And these questions really threw off the natural flow of his work. But this social akward energy is why I love the series!!!
Ive got nothing against this show, I've had fun watching a few episodes but I have to say, a lot of these places will usually treat you better if you come with a camera/crew so it's a little skewed but still fun to watch
I love this guy, he's slightly awkward which makes the show even better bc he then has to put himself into an awkward position of talking to a shop owner about their own personal horrible reviews on the internet. I love the idea of this show and I think it's done really well. The host is perfect for the role. My only issue is that there aren't enough episodes at this moment. I would love more!!
THIS is what happens when someone just jumps in the business without that passion for art or anything positive, it’s all bout them benjis as long as they get to take your money they’ll slap anything on you n call it a masterpiece. Do your research and get to know your artist as well as his/her portfolio! Lol couldn’t help but notice the piercing is crooked too 😂😂🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
He shouldn’t have told you to hold your breath. That is probably the reason the girl he said was strange for passing out, passed out. Every piercer knows to mark the placement of the nipple while the client is standing with their nipples in your direct line of sight in order to ensure they don’t end up crooked. This is probably why many of the reviews say that they’re crooked. Then they have you lay down with their arms at their sides, (this ensures the nipples don’t have any tension on them while being pierced which could result in stretched skin causing pain) take a few deep breaths and tell you “do NOT quit breathing. If you hold your breath you will probably pass out.” So it’s nobody’s fault but his that she KO’d for a minute.
About 15 years ago I had my eyebrow pierced at a pop-up tattoo/piercing shop in the bar of a concert venue during a show. I had no idea about the alcohol thing. Good to know after the fact.
I really appreciate that way that Taji and the rest of the journalist / film crew of Vice go to sometimes extremely dangerous areas of the world and also right in local neighborhoods to bring us the info. Thanks Guys !
I worked for these guys for a long time. They were very good. Can't say anything about the bar or the current situation as of 2021 but they are always friendly and well mannered. No hate for these guys ❤
No respectable tattoo/piercing establishment serves you alcohol before doing a session. Also, when a client says they are scared, the tech is supposed to stop immediately and talk it over with them. Not push on at all costs. How are places like this even still in business?
This man has been a trooper for the internet’s enjoyment.

“Don’t drink alcohol before the piercing”
Drinks alcoholic beverages before getting a piercing
They did him so dirty... It's crooked the bar isn't long enough for swelling and they rawed him with that Needle.
I know it but actually why you shouldn't drink before?
@@bebzon8941 alcohol thins the blood.making you bleep more and more easily
They didnt even say not to. That is irresponsible of the owners
Honestly, as long as you're not properly drunk and or a hemophiliac it won't matter.
He literally stops for the review questions at the worst possible times
I full body cringed. That was unbelievable.
I think that’s what they’re aiming at.
Dude was getting his bowels cleansed and in the middle of it with a hose in his butt, with notebook in hand he's like, "Hey I wanted to bring up these bad reviews"
I think that's the point lol it's for entertainment 😂😅
That’s definitely the point

Three-nippled people crying in the back
Taji: “this is the left nipple, this is the right nipple”
Piercer: “right”
I was hoping that he was going to ask "which ones the gay one?"
There's a third option: getting both.
If it wasn’t for the cameras, he would’ve kicked you out so quickly HAHAHA
samuel: Nah. If it wasn't for the camera, he would not have cared what the guy said. Just pierced and gotten paid.
Kicked him out? He'd have kicled his butt!

Yeah, it's called hitting the lottery. This guy has a huge platform to do anything with his live in show business.
I don’t get how anyone could not like this guy.
A tongue piercing can lead to bad consequences if done wrong, I would've never even considered doing a tongue piercing at a 1star place
Exactly. Tongue piercings can go wrong even when all precautions are taken so it is terrifying that he was considering doing it at this place.
It just makes it so much funnier, this guy is really putting himself out there
It’s not even a one star shop.
Exactly, people can bleed to death if the piercing hit a vein in the tongue 💀
can't believed he chose a nipple piercing too like aren't those supposed to hurt the most wtf
I HAVE to give some credit to the editor of this series, i love the vintage style and also how they embrace the awkward moments, just awesome
This dude is carrying Vice on his turtle shell on his own. Mad respect
Nahh they have HBO money
Lol turtle shell
Love how he just brings up the reviews seconds before his piercing
1 star "escorts"
That’s just a hole in the ground 😆

Do a staying at the worst rated hotel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can suggest one it was in the blue ridge mountains, light switch on bugs running on the walls.

Dude wasn't excited for a piercing but chose between tongue, nipple, and belly button. Dude didn't think of getting his ears pierced first? lol
Eric Tu I think he wanted it to be someplace hidden in case it got infected.
Eric Tu at least he can hide this one...
That’s not exciting. Nipple, tongue, and belly button piercings are.
@@morganderose3491 they aren’t that exciting either tbh, unless you’re into that
you can get necrosis if you hit a specific bloodvessel in the ear causing quite a lot of it to go black and you'll have to get it removed

I maybe would have waited until after the piercing to start bringing up the bad reviews
That's why you don't work for Vice and neither do I. We are cowards compared to this man. :D

@@funny3scene true, still a responsible owner would reject someone who drank.
