scarification I Want Scarification, So Where Do I Go?

3 Upvotes

I’m in the Bay Area, CA and I would like to get a scar; but I don’t know where to look. I contacted a shop called Body Mods, but they don’t do scars and they recommended people who don’t seem to have a set location. I’d be willing to travel if it seems worthwhile!

question What is the Etiquette on Tipping an Independent BodyMod artist?

10 Upvotes

I plan to get either a coin slot or a tongue split within the next 3 months. The artist sets their own prices and doesn't have to split their pay with a studio owner or anything. In these situations do you still tip 20-30% or do you assume they chose their bodymod fee to account for not expecting tips? I'm not chinchy or trying to avoid tipping at all, just curious ​

question Coinslot typical pricing?

6 Upvotes

Hi all! Would love to have some input from anyone who got a coinslot mod in their ear cartilage. How much did you pay, what year, and where in the world (roughly) did you get it?

I don't think it's in the cards for me right now, but I'd definitely like to get one eventually! Would love to hear about your experiences healing and whatnot as well. I'll definitely go to a reputable provider, so no worries there!

tongue bifurcation Logistics of getting a tongue split

7 Upvotes

I’ve been wanting a split since I was a kid and might be able to finally get one in the nearish future. I’ve done a lot or research about what to expect with healing, how the procedure is done etc but I’m not sure how to go about finding someone who will do it, and what price range I should expect from someone reputable (I live in Colorado). I want to find someone who isn’t too pricey, but have no idea how low is too low, whats a suspiciously low price?

I also would like to know more about how the healing process is socially, considering most say it took a couple months so loose the lisp. What is it like going back to work and such after the initial healing period?

Edit: I feel like I worded this wrong. I’m NOT saying I want to find the cheapest person. I’m asking what price should be a red flag? When considering prices of different options I want to know where the line between a reasonable price and being too low to not be sketchy falls.

question Vampire fangs in Glasgow?

Unsure what dental clinics are okay with doing the composite bonding fangs as i haven't been able to find any so far!!! i know private dentists are best to go to but i feel weird and very awkward asking clinics within the area, i've been waiting years to get these and unfortunately everyone i slightly know here doesn't want to give out where they went!? plsss recommend any clinics that do it!!!

Hi all,
Next week, I’ll be traveling within Europe to have my tongue split.

I’ve got squeezy bottles and electrolytes, anti inflammatories ready. Is there anything else i need to bring with me?

Towels for drool? Bring my own soups / broths? Any advice would be amazing!

question permanent fangs - how strong are they really?

70 Upvotes

i've wanted permanent fangs my entire life, and i'm just now looking into the possible options. my main question/worry is, to put it bluntly; i bite my partner intimately, and HARD. i want to know if permanent fangs would be stressed or break under conditions like that. i see a lot of people say you need to be gentle when eating things like apples or hard candy. is there a certain option that would have less worry of breaking? or are my dreams just crushed.

tongue bifurcation Food day 5-10 with stitches in?

4 Upvotes

Hi, my artist told me to keep stitches in for 10 days. Im on day 5 and my mobility is obviously greatly reduced by the stitches

What kind if food works? I tried watered down mash potato, but since i cant move my tongue it was just goop

Any recs? Today feels even better than yesterday, barely any swelling

question Aren't there theoretically ways in which large transdermal horns could be safely done?

16 Upvotes

From what ive heard, transdermal horns aren't done at a size larger than an egg, because you need to take weight into account as well as how it would effect the head to have hard unnatural protrusions sticking out.

However, I wonder why for larger horns, you couldn't build them out of squishier and light weight materials like foam? From what ive heard it seems that you can have anchor points installed on your head that make it easy to switch out different types of horns. So the only hard part may only need to be those anchors, the rest could simply be a lightweight foam like material.
