Tongue split

Yellow! I'm getting my tongue split in two weeks, and came here to get the opinion of the people. How would you rate your pain during and after the procedure? How about the healing process? And is there any tips you can give me that'd be useful to know? Just things you've noticed, that'd be good to know beforehand too.

Plug is stuck in ear

I was sizing up from a 10g to an 8g. I got the taper on fine but the plug itself got stuck in the indent for the O ring and now I can't get it in the rest of the way or out for that matter. What should I do? I just want the jewelry in

Ear Pointing

I’m getting my ears pointed next month (: What is healing like ? Pain right after the procedure ? Were you able to drive home after ? (I don’t have anyone to come with me at this time):

Tongue split anxiety/second thought

Hi, I have an appointment to get my tongue split next week, and am getting super super anxious in the lead up to the procedure. Has anyone experienced what feels like second thoughts this close to getting it done? I have wanted this since I was young, but maybe the reality of actually doing it finally is starting to get to me a little. I would really appreciate any encouraging words or advice :)

Septum jewelry

I've always worn septum pinchers since stretching to 8g and recently I've really started to hate how they look. They look too "long" if that makes sense. I want something shorter or more crescent moon shaped than how pinchers are. I found some I really liked but they aren't made in 8g and I cannot stretch up anymore. I'm really struggling to find some jewelry that I really like. What could be some alternatives? I'm interested in stacking as well, any tips on that? Any advice is appreciated!

Northern California body mod artists

Specifically for earlobe reconstruction. Talking to Shawn Ohare but he’s a busy dude and isn’t based here in California. There’s gotta be some folks that do it here. Any recommendations?

Experience with stretched tragus?

Hi all, I'm debating getting my tragus pierced and stretching it. Does anyone have experience with this mod? Or advises against it?

Scarification on top of a tattoo, question

I've seen some scarifications that are made on a blackout or similar tat and I was wondering if the spot where we see the scarification was left blank without tattooing or if the scar can still look a light colour (for those of us with light skin) even if the removal of the skin happened right on the tat

Ideas about how to fix ears or just earlobe removal?

GF is getting her earlobes chopped off since her doc’s idea was sewing it up but it’ll leave a crescent shape. Just out of ideas. I was a body piecer but never had to fix up ears and was thinking perhaps it’s possible to skin graft something but that may require a plastic surgeon.

Anyways. Any ideas appreciated just because I am slightly anxious for her own possible feelings she may miss having ear lobes one day.

People from the Philippines, any idea where I can get tongue splits?

I have been looking and looking and literally got nothing. I’ve asked studios if they practiced it, every answer I received was no. I’m desperate and so, so badly want one already. Any suggestions or shop recommendation will be highly appreciated

Thumb spine/subdermal implant. Questions?

How is the pain? How is the healing? How do people react to it? How long should I take off work? Can I drive two hours after getting it if I can't find someone to go? Personal experiences? Getting in March :)

Question for those with thumb spines

If you have a physical job, how long did you take off work to heal? How long did it take to regain full mobility without pain? Just trying to get an idea of how many days off I’ll need. At my job I’m moving around large racks of clothing, folding and hanging them up etc.

I had some questions about tongue splitting

Ok so I live in South Australia and was curious about how I go about getting my tongue split, like where do I go, who do I go to things like that? Everything I look up doesn't really seem to give me an answer. I also don't know if it's even legal here.
