Default "I kind of scare myself..."

"It's evolving to the point where sometimes I kind of scare myself at
thinking what will be next," Luis Garcia, international liaison for the
Association of Professional Piercers said of the demand for extreme
body modification.

Fully story:

When piercings aren't enough
Push for creativity, edge runs to extreme body modifications
Tuesday, August 8, 2006

DALLAS, Texas (AP) - Allen Falkner's tongue is just one of his unusual
features.

It is split down the middle, and when he sticks it out, it looks like a
two-pronged snake tongue.

The alteration - along with others - to the 36-year-old Dallas man's
body might appear shocking, but they're standard for people in the
growing trend known as body modification.

Over the last decade body mod has been growing steadily, attracting
more followers now that tattoos and simple piercings are more
mainstream.

"I think there's definitely more and more interest all the time," said
Falkner, owner of a Dallas tattoo and piercing shop called Obscurities.
Extreme body modification features a wide range of alterations,
including some that are illegal in Texas and elsewhere.

Some people get horns implanted on their heads. Some install magnets in
their hands, creating a "sixth sense" for feeling magnetic fields.
Others remold their ears to make them pointy.

The alterations are far from mainsteam, and far from regulation as
well. The underground nature of the trend has raised concerns among
some health officials as well as among more traditional body artists.

But the demand for extreme body modification is growing.

"People want, I think in general with society - especially the younger
sect - to be different," said Luis Garcia, international liaison for
the Association of Professional Piercers, which takes no official
stance on the modifications. "It's not different anymore to have your
navel pierced."

Falkner did his work himself, experimenting with various methods and
instruments that included scalpels and string. Already sporting
multiple tattoos and piercings, he said, he further modified his body
for aesthetic reasons, and in part just to see whether he could.

Falkner runs several Web sites dedicated to the topics and said he gets
e-mails all the time from people interested in modifying themselves.

Likewise, Garcia said people often ask for implants, split tongues,
scarring or other procedures at his shop in Philadelphia.

With television shows profiling tattoo shops and increasing numbers of
piercings in the mainstream, more people are searching for procedures
for the "one-upping factor," Garcia said. "I've had people as young as
15 inquire," Garcia said, noting that he won't accommodate their
requests for legal reasons.

And neither will most established tattoo and piercing shops. Extreme
modifications are banned in a handful of states, including Texas and
Delaware, which specifically prohibit tongue splitting. But similar
procedures usually fall under a legislative gray area.

Many artists also won't do them for fear of lawsuits or insurance
fiascos, Garcia said. "It's definitely underground," he said. "Any
person that does implants out of their shop is taking a big risk." He
cited health consequences as the main hurdle to widespread practice.

Garcia had his transdermal chest implants - a type of implant anchored
under the skin but protruding outside - removed after a few years. He
got "a couple of infections that were an annoyance and just a constant
irritation," he said. Falkner also removed some implants from his wrist
because they constantly banged against things or got in the way.

Doug McBride, spokesman for the Texas Department of State Health
Services, said underground and non-professional alterations could end
in problems. "If this is being done by unqualified people using
equipment and facilities that are not sanitized or sterile, then you're
going to have that increased risk of infection," he said.

Bill Johnson, secretary of the Alliance of Professional Tattooists,
agreed that more extreme and experimental modifications are probably
not the best idea. "My personal view is, it's just too dangerous," said
Johnson, whose group officially takes no position on the practice.

Many modification enthusiasts don't consider all the health
ramifications, experts said. Garcia tells interested people to "think
about it - because when they do need to come out, it's not as easy as
putting them in."

But many modifiers say they don't think health or legal hurdles will
curb the trend. They said the drive to be different and creative will
keep pushing people to embrace more extreme modification.

"It's evolving to the point where sometimes I kind of scare myself at
thinking what will be next," Garcia said. From:

Its a joke son, not being his real name in the first place, and a tidbit
about a certain writer who wrote rednecks real purdy like.

Like I said. Idiot.

Curt, why don't you tell these brown skid marks to fuck off, or just
ignore the infantile fuckwits.

Every group has its bullies and these goons are getting their jollies
by repeatedly attacking you. By responding to the smegs you are
playing right into their hands!

I only know what's happening here because of their inane and pointless
cross-posting. If they didn't have you to abuse, this group would be
ritually extinct, as they are making no contribution to the dubious
art of self mutilation!

This place should be renamed fuckwits of the world unite, particularly
as your other cyber-stalker chose to pop over and join the fray.

HTH! ;o)

Oh? That's not his real name? HA! If ever you were going to cross-post,
well, enough said about that. And the other spelling isn't either? Or
it is? Regardless, it's a joke, yes? Okay, thanks for clearing that up.

Yes, you did say that. But you also implied that I used "[sic]"
incorrectly. A glaring misuse, iirc, is how you described it.
Unfortunately, you had your finger or keyboard pointed in the wrong
direction, didn't you?

WWCG*D? :oD

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...76e38ea?hl=en&
aka http://tinyurl.com/ny4l2

Yup, "a glaring misuse of [sic]," is what you wrote.

Hmm. So, if there's a parallel to be drawn here at all, it might be
that just because you say something is so, well, that doesn't
necessarily mean that it's actually so.

Hth.

The same is true for all people, Curt. You've just added more noise
to the noise.

However, I can with some assurance claim this:

I do not despise women who reject me and publically thrash them,
calling them fat whores after humiliating myself by creepily trying
to hit on them by saying highly inappropriate things and attempting
to cop feels.

Lets hear about your mommy, Curt.

Because that would be rude and I'm trying to lead by example, of
course.

Not bad advice there, however.

Yes, I suppose you're right. Take their ammunition away?

Well, while I don't agree on the use of the term mutilation, I
certainly agree that they're not using the newsgroup to any positive
end. Perhaps they're waiting for me to leave. Weird, that. I first
posted here about eight years ago. And I actually did leave for about
three years during the space of time between then and now. Wonder what
RAB was like during that period of time. Maybe I'll Google that.

> This place should be renamed fuckwits of the world unite,


I'm sure it's been called worse. I call it a valuable resource. But one
seemingly muddied by anger, frustration, and drama. Still, that's all
apparently part of RAB's appeal for some.

So you agree that there's noise to be found here? And that noise being
in the context of signal-to-noise as it applies to this newsgroup
offering positive posts (signal) versus negative posts (noise), yes? Or
would you like to clarify or alter that assessment?

> However, I can with some


Some? Not total?

Pity.

If you are partial to a little "anal violation" Yitterex, I'd be
pleased to arrange a thorough pull through for you with the business
end of a stiff lavatory brush, complete with the new and miraculous
non-abrasive wonder shithouse cleaner.

As shithouses go, you appear to be long overdue for a good seeing to!

Way to promote your agenda, yttrx.

You certainly are the example of decorum and appropriateness, aren't
you?

Some might question why you respond so negatively. I don't. I realize
that some people are just unhappy and rude.

You'd have to have read a little Fuller and Chomsky to know what
the hell I'm talking about on this one, Curt. Signal and Noise do
not imply "positive" and "negative", except to a fucking idiot who
wouldnt know art if it was teabagging him...

No, Signal can also be called "information" or "differential data".
Noise is "repetition". Signal implies the presence of new information,
while noise implies the presence of a lot of shit we've all heard
before and really dont fucking need to hear again.

You snipped it, curt. You snipped the part about being rejected
by women and subsequently calling them fat whores.

What IS that all about, curt? And why wont you talk about your
mommy?

Your house? mmmm...

Fuck you Yitterex - and the camel you rode in on. You're nothing but a
tiresome, irritating little would-be bully! Kindly go and fuck
yourself with a broken coke bottle!!

I grow tired of you, as you are of no substance and there is really no
competition here!!

Ta ta for now old chap - or TTFN as we say in Olde London Towne! ;o)

Later - maybe?
