Greetings my Metal and Geek-minded friends, I just wanted to take a minute out of the regularly scheduled presentations to let you know that as of the other day, the PiercingMetal branding has been using the Instagram photo-sharing social media platform for five years. It’s been a relatively cool ride so far and given me a place to let loose with more photography from the assorted conventions and of course some mind-crushing Metal shows and more. I began using this network for “The Chronicles” website first and then adopted it for PiercingMetal and as you might recall got stuck with the username of “PiercingMetalNYC” as opposed to the standard PiercingMetal. That ID is being squatted on for some reason and does not respond to inquiries about my taking it over. Too bad as I would have sent that party a bunch of CD’s for their trouble. At first I thought I might have used a different email address to sign up but nothing comes back to me on “reset password” which means someone else has it. There are no photos, no following or followers so its just being squatted on which does suck since its my trademarked brand. If I can offer any advise to those doing similar stuff to myself, make sure you have your own distinct brand identity on all the networks even if you barely plan on using them since it protects you. So moving on, I did place a photo from around the actual anniversary date and shared it with you below.
