WTF??? This can\'t be real, can it?

[GmanJoe]

They don\'t want it illegal! JEEEEZ! They just want it to be regulated to those who\'ll know what to do in case some crap happens! This is not a simple tongue piercing.

Did you know that the mouth is among the fastest healing part of the body? You know why? So it can seal itself up against infection as soon as possible.

Look, they\'re not saying "You can\'t do this or do that" what they\'re saying is that this is more involved than a piercing and might need a medical staff to perform this.

Hell, if I had some medical training I\'d do it for ya! You could go to a Chinese restaurant make people puke as you pick your noodles up with your forked tongue!

Actually, the goverement does want tongue spliting illegal. There was a thread on that awhile back and it\'s just like when certain states put a ban on tattoo\'ing. Some states still have it actually.

[GmanJoe]

Well, that\'s stupid. Anyway, the other article I read (apparently we read two different ones), they were concerned about the risks involved. Not the legality of it since it\'s not "unhealthy" to have a split tongue.

LIC, my best friends mum is a nurse, and the stories she can tell you about the stupid ass things people do to themselves is just mortifying. Like the guy who tried to slit his piss slit (forgot the proper name of this mod) just for the sake of it. He ended up screwing it up and lost quite a bit of nerves in the head of his penis.

LIC, medical doctors frown uppon body mods cause the know just how badly they can turn out sometimes.

I never said an eyebrow ring was any different, it is, however, lower in risk as apposed to other more difficult and dangerous piercings, thats why its certainly more common.

Anyway, what mods do you have on your entire body? Are you into scarring or painting?

I remember a story in the newspaper where a girl went to have her tongue pierced and she nearly bled to death. Apparently there is a major blood vessel that runs through the tongue and the assclown that did the piercing severed it.

Just shows that you do need some sort of medical or anatomical knowledge to carry out such procedures.

I think I read the same thing. They also sid something about there being a lot of bacteria in the human mouth, and because of suuch, any oral piercing, regardless of severity, carries seriuos risk of infection.

A Hafadas is a very low risk piercing, yet you mentioned it. It\'s almost as low as the eyebrow piercing.

I\'ve had...

Bridge of Nose (Twice)
Eyebrow (Both)
Two Tongue piercings
Handweb
Neck
Frenums (Three)
Labret (bottom lip)
Medusa (Upper Lip)
One Tattoo
Ear lobes (Eight Guage)
Both nipples (eight guage - strechted myself)
Ear Catrlidge

The list goes on and on. And I have been interested in getting forearm implants and at one time, thought about splitting my tongue, but decided against it. Forearm implants are still a possible venture eventually though.

I never said things can\'t go wrong - things can. Yes, some modfiications are more risky than others. I never argued that. I just argued that they are all someone\'s personal right. Yes, if you split your tongue or your penis, you take a risk  of damage.

Obivously, body modification is not for everyone. It\'s a personal choice and right. I just see no point in classifying one as self mutiliation and another form as "art". It\'s all "art" , if you want it to be. And what may be mutilation to you, may be the greatest thing to someone else.

Just shows that you do need some sort of medical or anatomical knowledge to carry out such procedures.


 

Thanks, Mr.Obvious! Every body piercing takes some knowledge of anatomical and medical. I know this, as I was close to taking up an appertinceship in body piercing, only stopped because it does not pay enough for my "life style".

when I grow up, I want to put angel wings on my back so I can fly.

Well i think all of you are entitled to your own opinion but for the vast majority of people in the US dont want to see your Eurethra piercing or every part of your face pierced with chains hanging from them with weights. Its allowing things that most people find immoral. Its basicaly the same as people with over exposed bodies. Its not something people want their kids to be doing but over time they become normal things because of the influence on our posterity. Im not saying its wrong, I\'m mostly neutral. It should probably stay underground for the most part Im thinking.

     What pleasure do you get from such modifications? Im just curious, not really judgemental. You can say its art but do you like the asthetics, the look, the feel? Im guessing feel but also what do you think drove you to have in intrest in such a thing? Also many people are religious and especially since our government is supportive of Christianity and founded in light of it, people belive that it is wrong to mutilate what god has given you. Im not entirely sure what the bible says about self-mutilation. So for the government to regulate this is totally in their power and many may agree and disagree but this is mainly how things are.

I didnt have much time to type this but i will reply later.

Look at this guy.............or is it a girl??????

:eek:

Damn LIC, your nipples must be in bad shape... 8 gauge is pretty big isn\'t it>?

[Living-In-Clip]

Bad shape? My nipples are in great shape. And yes, eight guage is rather large. I had my ears pierced at eight guages -  which equals one big needle.

Where did you get your medical degree LIC?  

[Living-In-Clip]

Back alley\'s.
