I’ll post more stuff later tonight, but before I got started on other projects this morning I wanted to post this “arm stub piercing” done by Devin in Oregon. The jewelry through the nipple-like protrusion on the end of the stub is a 14ga 3/8″ curved barbell.
I love it when people take active and proud control of their body, no matter how it’s shaped!
Thanks to my friend SilverSweets in Singapore for this “matching mods” photo of a series of forearm implants and a cutting (lots more great shots on her page):
My friend in this entry has one of the longest nutsacs in the business, and it just keeps on growing. Click the picture to uncensor and see where he’s made it to at the end of 2005.
You know the rules: if there’s something pixelated on ModBlog, and you’re the squeamish short, don’t be clicking! On the other hand, if you want to see what’s behind the magic curtain, click at will.
It was too small for me to post in the BME galleries (hopefully I hear back from them with bigger pictures), but check out this wild saline lip injection — 60cc per lip.
Earlier today I was looking at some fancy-pants Rhinestone brass knuckles on boingboing. If people think that’s cool, check out Krissy’s implanted silicone brass implants by Joe Amato in Florida. You may also remember Joe as one of the gonzo piercers who brought us eyelid piercing.
The procedure took a few hours (after which Krissy went back to work the same day) with most of the time being spent laying anchor stitches to reduce shifting. Healing was uneventful with some bruising and swelling for the first week. Mederma treatment is starting soon to minimize the insertion scar.
Christmas lights aren’t just for decorating your home or trees… like just about any object out there, BME/HARD readers can come up with far more amusing uses.

This is a home job tongue split done in “the basement of pain”, but compare the expression on each photo. Definitely feeling better once the tongue is corrected! Of all the modifications out there, tongue splitting has one of the highest satisfaction rates, and I don’t think most people could even coherently explain why — it just feels “right”. I don’t know if it’s as simple as freedom maybe — after all, your tongue muscles are deeply restricted when attached together… More than anything, for me at least, it just feels good to be able to finally move.
These days I actually feel a little sick when I look at an unsplit tongue, it just looks so “wrong” and unhealthy. On some gut level I think it looks like someone puking, but once the split is in place I don’t feel that way any more. I don’t know if that’s because I’m simply conditioned to prefer atypical bodies, or if it’s that I’ve gotten a glimpse at the truth and can’t keep looking at lies any more.
More likely the first explanation, but I prefer the second so I’ll stick with that one.
As you can see below, sometimes lobe piercings blow out with the most revolting of tumorous keloids. Here’s a before and after (or should I say more philosophically, after and before) of a correction done by Andre Fernandes at Tattoo You in Sao Paulo, Brasil.

Last entry in today’s “catch up” set of posts…
Usually when I see amateur or underground digit amputations, they’re just chisel jobs. Now, a chisel job can heal pretty nicely and without complications, but the risks are higher and you often won’t get an ideal end to the reshaped finger… so it was a pleasant surprise to get this very cleanly sutured stumping:
That’s by a fairly well known practitioner that works out of South America and Europe. I’m not going to post the name here but if you’re looking for this procedure, drop me a line and I’ll put you in touch.
