The tattoo shop that I currently work at as my second job just turned really bad. I am close friends with the owners, but the other piercer at the shop (who has less experience then me) is trying to get me out of there by trying to tell the owners things about me that are wrong. I have a meeting with the owners tonight, and I am thinking about just resigning, but I really think they are making a big mistake with believing the other girl over me (especially since alot of it has to do with health and safety concerns in the shop) Should I just leave and let bygones be bygones and let it be?

Go to the meeting with a calm collected state of mind. Don't badmouth the other piercer, but rather present all the facts. Facts can't be argued, but heresay can. Remember, if you attack the other employee then you are insulting their judgement in hiring her.
If they seem like they understand you and they believe all the facts you've presented, then see how things go. Perhaps they will repremand the other piercer. If they are not understanding, then I'd politely resign. Get some good refrences from them and find another shop to work at.
It's hard when you mix friendship and work. Hopefully you can walk away with both.

You should fight. I'm not too sure about this but I'm thinking that if you leave you may get an undeserved bad reputation, which could hurt you at other shops. My ex was a nail tech (i know seriously not the same thing), but i know how word gets around in that circle, if someone quits or gets fired owners sometimes lie about the person so clients don't follow after them.
So i could imagine that in your line of work leaving without clearing your name could really hurt you if this is something you want to continue doing.

I would see what they have to say first and go from there. Their take on the situation would tell me whether I wanted to stay or not.
