Anime NYC 2022 Takes Over The PiercingMetal Instagram

The PiercingMetal website was once again in attendance at the awesome Anime NYC Convention that was being held at the Javits Center. While a score of photos and narrative will be posted on the website, one of the things we enjoy most about conventions is upping the content on our Official Instagram. The interested can start their journey with the image below. Please be sure to “Follow” and like as many photos as possible for good engagement.

I hope everyone who sees these photos enjoys them and thanks to all the cosplayers and vendors and artists who stopped for a moment so I could snap them for our social media realm. The first few are up and I am already contending with all the spammers who post comments like “DM us on @worthless_profile”. Fellow creatives should delete this kind of stuff without regard because they are only looking to get the attention that your photo would usually get you. Trust me on this. It also doesn’t hurt to report accounts like this as Spam if you feel you should.

For the twelfth straight year, PiercingMetal was attending the famed New York Comic Con as a member of the media and with that comes a whole lot of photos so I am going to once again use the site as a redirector to our Official Instagram. We love wandering the aisles and meeting the talented artists and cosplayers along with some cool exhibitors.

Hello my Friends!!!! I am here once more to do that announcement stuff for one of our most used social media accounts which is The Official Instagram for PiercingMetal which I have now been using for ten full years. The actual anniversary date was on 9/15/2022 but I didn’t have a photo posted for the day and instead decided to use one from today since it was also “Batman Day”. We paid a visit to our friends over at Galaxy Comics and did some photos and video stuff to help raise awareness and I was glad since I did need a photo to go along with any Instagram discussion.

Five Points Festival 2022 Takes Over The PiercingMetal Instagram

PiercingMetal was in attendance at the 2022 Five Points Festival. This event used to be held at the Brooklyn Expo Center but they’ve apparently closed and this time around it was at a new venue to my event lexicon called ZeroSpace. The first photo to hit The Gram is below and a lot more are coming.

We ask all of those who are using The Gram to please like the image and add a topical comment to it if they have one. As a matter of fact, we sure don’t mind new followers and being as some of my colleagues call it “like-bombed”. Instagram might not send us any real web traffic worth noting but it does help the larger brand engagement and I’m super cool with that. Thanks a lot. I hope you enjoy this adventure as much as we did.

Hey there friends, so it’s time once again to laud something that’s going on with one of our most used social media accounts. It was way back in 2012 that PiercingMetal joined onto the Instagram photo-sharing network and while this isn’t our anniversary of creating the account, I am stoked to share that we have just posted out 10,000th Photo. It’s pretty cool to hit this many photographs because I think it raises some branding awareness and now all the photos also include the hashtag for my Ken Pierce Media angle which has been growing strong since launching in June of 2020. So what is this 10K photo all about, well as you can see it is me, and its the other photo taken by my friend in the final days of my COVID Manager job for the “Tina – The Tina Turner Musical” Broadway show. While the gig ended a little more than a week ago I still have the soundtrack running through my head and it was great to help people keep safe in trying times. Onward we go.
