And how has the industry you are in changed its views on body mods in the workplace since you began working there?

Have you noticed a direct shift in hires or has it been mostly existing employees getting piercings/mods?

Do any of your employers have body mods?

I’m just curious about trends in society as a whole across industries

Hi! I’ve had a large gauge septum for around 6 years now & I’m wanting to switch it up. & I have a few questions

1, how many rings would I be able to fit into a 2g septum? (Please include gauge if can)
2, can I put the rings through a tunnel & achieve the same effect?
3, if no to above, say in the future I wanted to put my big ring back in.. would that be possible or would the hole change too much?
4, is stacking solely for stretching? I don’t want to go any bigger I don’t think. I just think stacks look nice.

Thank you xx

Hii guys, quick question for anyone with a tongue split. Mine is fully healed but the front still looks kinda pointy if you know what I mean. Does that even out and if so how long did it take you guys?

Hello! To preface i will say i will be going to a reputable body modification artist for these things.

My question is if its possible to have both of these mods? Would it be possible to get them done at the same time? Have to travel to see the artist and would just make sense to do both at once.

I aspire for more mods one day but alas for now we have my baby 5mm ears (goal 19mm)

I've been looking into getting scarification done, but all the artists people recommend seem to be in Europe. I'm in the US and hoping for someone closer to home. Is there anyone in NA/Caribbean that people recommend? Or is there a directory someone could point me to?

Hi everyone!! So excited to have gotten this done, I’ve been wanting this since I was like 12 years old! 🐍

Day 2 of healing, got the split done yesterday. The initial few hours directly after sucked - but since being able to tackle some meds and smoothies I’ve been feeling so good and I’m hoping it stays this way!

Going to try and get some pastina and bone broth down later this afternoon 🙂‍↕️

7/20 Update:: ate a big bowl of pastina yesterday, formed them into small clumps at the end of the spoon and guided it towards the back, past the split to swallow. It was glorious lol.

Continuing to feel good today! I tapered down the meds, except for arnica and thc syrup. Soup and mashed potatoes today, first stitch comes out tomorrow! 👻

Does anyone know any good body mod artists in the South that can do earlobe reconstruction for a good price? I was recently quoted 6k+ just to get them closed by a surgeon and looking for cheaper alternatives. I’m in Alabama but willing to go to the surrounding states if there’s none in my state!

Finally booked my conch punch appointment after debating which size I wanted. I'm going for a 2G! I think that's one of the best sizes for a noticeable hole once healed. Getting it in October, advice and tips are welcome!

Hi :) I've been interested in a "medium gauge" conch, like 8g or 6g. The quicker heal on a punch/scalpel and suture is really enticing to me. A 3mm hole sounds too small to suture, but I'm wondering what the smallest sizes people have had success suturing are.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, first time poster here! Hopefully this is within the rules since I'm not inquiring about troubleshooting the healing of the mod.

I am now 100% certain that I want to get my tongue split. However, I am at a crossroads regarding which avenue I should pursue. Initially, I was happy to go to a body mod artist and get it split by someone who's had a great deal of experience. However, after informing my family about my plan to split my tongue they staunchly advised me to schedule an appointment to get my tongue split by a plastic surgeon instead.

Apparently, heavy bleeding is something that runs pretty strong in my family and their main concern is that getting such a vascular part of my body cut by someone who doesn't have the infrastructure and resources immediately available to handle any potential complications could produce dangerous results. Although I don't know for a fact whether or not I inherited my family's predisposition to heavy bleeding, my family's concerns now have me considering altering my plan and getting my tongue split by a surgeon instead.

The problem is that I've heard that some people have had less-than-positive experiences when getting a split done by plastic surgeons. Additionally, there seem to be very few plastic surgeons who are willing to split tongues and finding personal testimonies from people who've had their tongue split by these surgeons has been surprisingly difficult.

Has anyone here had any experience getting their tongue split by a plastic surgeon? and if so, were their standards comparable to some of the more respected body mod artists? The location and price of the procedure are non-factors as I'm simply looking to get the best possible work for something I'll have for the rest of my life. (although I'd prefer to remain in the continental U.S.)

Regarding my concern over my genetic predisposition for bleeding, do any of you guys have both a tongue split and a similar predisposition? and if so how was your experience?

Thanks for reading!

Hey y'all, i tried asking around in my countries' own subreddits, but those motherfuckers hate me for asking hahaha. Has anyone here gotten Fangs in Denmark, or more broadly somewhere in Europe? I ask cause i would obviously like a dentist that has done them before, are comfortable doing them and have good results, but at the same time i'm not gonna fly to Las Vegas which seems like the one place where a dentist is actually advertising themselves as doing them. Anyway thanks=)

I've recently become interested in scarification and want to get one on my nose tip to mimic a bifid nose. All of the photos I've seen so far seem to be hypertrophic scars and that's simply not what I want. Is it possible to create a atrophic scar with scarification or is that just out of the artists control?

So the rule specifically says healing of splits, meaning im guessing this is allowed.

Basically im asking how to prepare for my tongue split early august

While I already got advice what to eat etc ehat im looking for a friendly tips and tricks as well as do's and don'ts that arent mist obvious

My lifestyle is a lot of partying and substances which means this factors into it.

Thank you so much

I'm looking to get scarification of some zapotec designs soon and was wondering if there is anyone that does this in Co? Ideally electrocautery but idk if there's anyone that does it here. Any info is appreciated!

i'm wanting to begin stretching my ears, and i can't find any plugs smaller than 14g. i had my ears pierced as a baby, so i'm assuming they're around 20g/18g.

if anyone has any reputable recommendations that would be awesome, thank you!

Just what the title says. My partner had composite fangs done in Colorado years ago, but they're worn down. We're in Western MA, but could consider traveling to the Boston area, as well as NH or CT. We prefer someone who's done fangs before and knows what they're doing.

Any recommendations?

I'm going to CALM bodymodification in Stockholm, will answer any questions but also just tell you all the nice details.

Something I couldn't really find but will now be able to provide is a comparison of the pain with other sources we all know - a scale from 0 ("no pain") to 10 (subjective "oh no that's so bad") doesn't tell us much except your own tolerance, but "it's not as bad as accidentally hitting your surgery site but worse than a punch in the nose" gives a clearer perspective I think.

Will post a few photos and give you deets on the healing process because though everyone does it, it's a rite of passage now 🖐️😁 ^{^(and} I don't mind being a basic girl)

Taking suggestions for ways to say goodbye to my tongue. "One last ice cream" is my current plan lol

Edit: gotta respect the "no two posts within 69 (lol nice) hours" rule, to prevent spam. I'll keep you updated when the 69 hours are over, and probably 72. That'll be the day after I remove the three first stitches, so there'll be plenty to update you about! TL;DR it went well but wow that was a tough day and a half already... not regretting, just very eager to be finished. When all the stitches are out and I can eat normally I'll follow the artist's advice and eat a loooot. But for now it's difficult to do that.
