Affiliate Disclosure

LobeCraft carries affiliate links. Here is exactly what that means for what you read.

How it works

A purchase made through one of those links pays us a percentage from the seller’s side. The figure on your receipt does not move.

Spotting them

You do not have to guess which links pay. Pages carrying them say so, and this page is reachable from the footer everywhere on the site.

The basis for a recommendation

What informs a recommendation is public and checkable: spec sheets, official documentation, published standards, and aggregated owner experience. If a piece of writing rests on personal use, it says so; silence on that point means it does not.

Prices and availability

Price and availability sit with the retailer and change without notice. A figure in an article records what it cost at the time of writing, and nothing more.

FTC disclosure

Publishers in the United States must disclose a material connection to anything they recommend, clearly and in proximity to the recommendation. That requirement comes from the Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guides, and this page is how we satisfy it.

Independence

A product is recommended because it does the job in the context we describe it, not because it pays better. Nothing we publish about piercings is written to order, and no advertiser sees a page before it goes live.

Display ads

Banner and in-article advertising comes from Google AdSense. Those slots are filled automatically and carry no endorsement from us.

Asking us

Anything unclear about how a product ended up recommended here can be raised on the contact page. Corrections are published, not quietly absorbed.
