    I know someone who had to burn an ink rubbing on her hand off with a hair straightener, not fun.

    AWH CHRIST. Fupping hell. Why?! Would she not get it professionally done somewhere?

    Yeah, I can understand selfpiercing to a certain extent if it's being done properly, but self scarification?! Christ.

    Yup, I can imagine counsellors wouldn't be too impressed if that hobby became more popular.

    If you have a high pain threshold and have a steady hand I dont see the problem, I luckily cant draw so am at no risk of harming myself for art :p

    Interesting thread.

    I pretty much only post in the body mod section of this site so it was a nice suprise to see a thread of my liking in a new section.

    Anyway, I really disagree with anyone under 18 getting inked, you change too much as a person, and the transition from school to college really has a massive impact on your life and the things you do and are into. I have a couple of tattoos and lots of piercings that I love, but after hearing some of the shocking ones that some people class mates got in this thread I just hope tattoo removal come along leaps and bounds for them in the next ten years or so.

    I think people are too harsh on tatoos here but I don't disagree with anyone who thinks they should put them on an easily coverable spot.

    I'd love to get a tattoo but there's no way I could handle the pain - I have a pathetically low pain threshold. :o

    I'm not scared of needles - injections, blood tests etc. are fine. But lots of little needles repeatedly stabbing me over a long period of time - no thank you. :(

    squigloo, tbh, it doesnt feel like many stabs by tiny needles, more just like being scraped... albeit constantly, but for the most part, they're not too bad... though that can depend on where it's being done, and how up for it your body is.

    also, good post there captain finger :)

    Believe me, there alot worse things you could have looked up. Implants, bisections, subincisions, nullification, tounge splitting, amongst others, the list goes on. DO NOT LOOK UP ANY OF THOSE IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH, MEGA-NSFW!

    Edit: Hope I ain't breaking any rules by mentioning them...

    I believe that practice is now illegal in most of the United States.

    BME/Wikipedia tells me it's legal with a licensed medical practitioner, but you'll never get one to do it for you, thus its a mainly underground practice, and its completely banned in the military. Dunno if thats changed though, those pages could be old.

    Wow, I looked up scarification after seeing fonpokno's post too, not quite something I'd be into.

    What about cosmetic surgery the outrageous pain and length of recovery, its pretty much the same principal.

    Just scarification is without any anesthetic :)

    Oh cosmetic surgery is just as bad! My mother watches all those awful programmes that show you everything they do. It's all such... non-delicate stuff. I mean I wouldn't object to a boob job but only if there was some magical way of them not ripping me apart and ruining everything in the process.

    And I looked up tongue splitting a while ago. There was some huge post by Will in S&S (i think) about all sorts of mad piercings and stuff. God I wish I'd never read that post. It makes my tongue feel sad.

    How do they do scarification without anaesthetic?? That's horrible. Or is it all about the beautiful result from the pain or something mad like that?

    Agghh *shudder* I'm goin back to bed to hide from the scary pain.

    Well to be fair most schlong piercings look excruciatingly painful, the one varient I cannot understand.

    Well if its done with a scalpel thats ridiculously sharp I can really I imagine it being that bad. Like if you pick up a razor blade up the wrong way itll go straight through the skin of your finger, and that doesnt really hurt that much, (well at the time anyway).

    Have an idea for a sleeve in mind at the moment, currently having a few ideas thrown onto paper so I'm looking forward to seeing the result of that. Got a tongue piercing nearly two years ago now, but thats as far as I'm gonna go.

    I don't mind tattoo on people when they actually look good, can't stand Tribal designs at all and I'm not mad on the chinese/asian oriental stuff that seems to be knocking about a lot in sleeve form.

    Registered Users Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    I used to want a lot more piercings than I have, but I went off the idea seeing how much the ones I have catch in things or hit on them, car doors and clothes, long grass and bushes when hunting, and all sorts. I still like the idea, and I like modification in general, but, especially considering I plan on having a military life, I'll be sticking with tattoos. Have plans for some on legs and torso, including a pretty elaborate and interesting calf piece, but I'm in no hurry.

    Lies! :p

    OT, a friend's flat-mate got an amazing design on his leg recently, it's a proper work of art. It seems slightly more worthwhile than a piece of oriental writing or other such cliché, admittedly, but the cost and pain involved were still quite off-putting.

    I got into piercing when I was 17, gradually got more and more into it as time went by. When I was 21 I got my first and thus far only tattoo.

    I see crumble and lady finger have already posted here but if anyone has any questions don't be afraid to post in the body mod forum or drop me or the others a PM :)
