| Not everyone's anatomy is suited to the popular <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Industrial_piercing" title="Industrial piercing">industrial piercing</a>, and far too many piercers are willing to pierce them anyway. This could potentially result in a <b>shallow industrial</b> placement which- rather than cleanly passing perpendicularly through the rim, bisects the body of the cartilage on a shallow angle.
| |
| </p><p>As a result, you're basically asking your body to heal an unviable <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Surface_piercing" title="Surface piercing">surface piercing</a> in your <a href="/index.php?title=Cartilage" title="Cartilage">cartilage</a>. Best case, it <a href="/index.php?title=Rejection" title="Rejection">rejects</a> it with minimal scarring until it relocates itself to the rim (if you have one there). More likely though, a <a href="/index.php?title=Keloid" title="Keloid">keloid</a>, or other scarring will build up around the piercing to compensate. Additionally, the chances of infection — which can be quite serious (see the entry on <a href="/index.php?title=Ear_Collapse" title="Ear Collapse">Ear Collapse</a>) — are dramatically increased.

I'm frustrated that the piercer did a poor placement job and/or didn't warn me that my body just wasnt anatomically correct to get it done. Now the industrial is gone and left some slight scar tissue that will never go away... Let this be a lesson to us all, don't do it if your body can't handle it!"

| | In 1804, '''Jean Baptiste Cabri''' was discovered by George H. von Langsdorff, a Russian explorer, while the latter was visiting the Marquesas. Cabri was a French deserter who had been living in the [[Marquesas Islands]] for some years and had not only been extensively tattooed, but also had taken a wife. |

| |
| <blockquote>
| |
| "I had an industrial for almost three years. I loved them, still do. But unfortunatly my ear resembled the 'bad' picture up above. I have one massive keloid on the outer rim of my ear. It will never go away and I'm not happy. I should have been told of the effects and that it was poor placement on me, not 'it's just the way my ears are' when I complained. I hope I can encourage people to ask more questions than I did when getting this piercing. Good luck."

| |
|
| </blockquote>
| | Returning first to Russia, Cabri enjoyed some success exhibiting himself and telling tales of his life with the 'savage people' of the islands. He not only exhibited himself in Russia but also toured Europe. However, his career declined quickly and he died in 1812 (or 1818 according to some sources) with little remaining fame. |

| |
| <blockquote>
| |
| "I too had a poorly placed industrial. I was so in love with the look of the piercing that after seeing it I went out to get it right away. It looked as though my right ear would take the piercing no problem, so I was pierced.
| |
|
| |
|
| To this day I think he should've told me no, because he placed it really shallow to get it to work. I was going through the basic healing process when I noticed it getting closer to the edge of my ear, and staying red the whole time.
| | Cabri is most notable as one the first successful extensively tattooed Europeans to exhibit himself. Prior to Cabri, tattooed exhibitions were primarily native people (like [[Giolo]] and [[Omai]]) or sailors who returned with only small token tattoos received while on expedition. He also set the standard for the 'civilized' tattooed exhibition act by telling exaggerated and aggrandized stories of his capture and subsequent tattooing. Cabri would be followed by men like [[John Rutherford]] and [[Constantine]]. |
| | |
| To make long story short, my ear was caving in, and the cartilage was getting really soft on the side of my ear to make a path for the piercing to come out (ie. it was migrating). I took it out before i had a permanently v-shaped ear and was sad to have to give up on the best piercing ever."

| <p>Kadee later had her other ear re-pierced successfully by a more experienced piercer.
