It was done at BMEfest, when Shannon was still alive, in Toronto. TBH: If he said no, I wouldn’t have had it done.Įyeball tattooing was what got me out of the “scene” the most. The practitioner blamed me, both times, saying I “forced him into it, that if I don’t do it, you’ll just have someone else do it”. Suspension used to be a way to relax, hang out (he he) but it’s more of a publicity stunt, “who can be the most hardcore”. Again, if something went wrong, it was kept hush-hush. Think bungee jumping, with hooks in your back to catch you. Or a “Free fall suspension”, even though those were cautioned against. A typical “suicide suspension” wasn’t “hardcore” anymore, unless you could do a “2 point resurrection”. People were starting with body mod’s too young. He’s had his facial tattoos covered over and over as he finds God, renounces Him and finds Him again, etc.
His “leather family” left him several times, and I don’t know what happened with him. It’s a pity, they were both nice, and interesting people.Īn 18 year old boy I used to talk to, with schizophrenia, attempted suicide, then became a eunuch (had his balls removed) and tattooed his face, over and over. Stalking Cat, the man that was turning himself into a tiger, killed himself.
A practitioner was found dead after a court date where he was being charged with practising medicine without a license. He said it was because of the pain from a rare muscular myopothy he had.

I see people my age and younger with their faces completely tattooed, their eyeballs completely tattooed, asking for money for a sex change because they’ve spent everything they have and have no more of their body to modify, so in a last ditch effort, they’re changing their sex. I consider myself a fairly heavily modified person, but it hasn’t controlled my life. You heard a lot of risks from piercing guns, though.ĭamage from a piercing gun. The body modification community claimed discrimination when medicine was brought up, but honestly, they were using medical tools and anaesthetics, although local, untrained, in settings that may be sterile, but weren’t hospitals. Then you ask, where is the line between medicine and body modification?Ī doctor is better equipped to deal with sepsis (above)

Getting charged with practising medicine without a license is not fun. A lot of procedures, at first, were done behind closed doors: Invite only, only the “heavily modded invited”, and some procedures done in hotel rooms. Some procedures done that couldn’t be reversed: scarification, meatontomies (splitting the head of the penis in half), subinicision (going down the shaft further) and other things, like pointed ears, which are more subtle. Split tongues do rock (that’s mine, I don’t have the piercings anymore, I like my teeth) People were getting procedures done they couldn’t easily reverse: Implants, transdermal implants, visible and extreme tattoos and piercings, split tongues. I had minimal piercings, no tattoos (I was under 18) and I was permanently altering my body with stretched earlobes and big holes in my cartilage. It grew to be about 50/50 and it started the IAM community. When I joined, in 1999, it was more of a fetish/BDSM site, with a bit of piercing. Eventually, he was allowed to blog about body mod’s again, but the site was ruined, the “scene” was split, and it was over. It started in 1994 by Shannon Larratt (link to his suicide note) and ended in a lawsuit where he was deemed too “crazy to run a website like that” and given the kid. I equate body modification’s movement to BME, or the Body Modification E-zine (link). Caution: Some images may be disturbing to some.
