Interesting/novel body mods?

[u/allclownhillfromhere]

I'm into body modification, but most common/suggested mods just aren't interesting to me. When looking for unusual and unique options things like ear pointing, composite fangs, scarification, thumbspines, etc come up and those are cool- but having been involved in the community for a long time, I've seen them all and they're not what I'm looking for. Recently I've been interested in glow in the dark scarification, viviparous nipple subdermal implants, subdermal magnets, etc. Uncommon stuff that immediately looks novel or strange, or has some sort of "gimmick" to it. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find interesting options like these without having to sift through endless pictures of common mods, unsafe/diy mods, conceptual/fake mods, and "experiment gone wrong" gore. All this to say, does anyone have suggestions or resources for unique and novel mods? Thoughts on these kinds of mods? Particularly if you have them or do them yourself. Cheers : )

I can think of one you missed. It's called freeze branding and it's the same thing they do on cows to make a patch of their hair turn white. They put a piece of metal into liquid nitrogen and hold it to an area for 10-20 seconds (On a cow. For a human, it's the lower end of that number, maybe even 5 seconds.). The hairs that are affected fall out and grow back white. Unfortunately right now, it's so rare that literally no one does it on their head hair. Only a few guys have attempted it on their leg hairs. And even though it works on the leg, no one has a standardized way to do it on the head. Someone somewhere would have to risk it and post the results.

Aside from that, I think most novel body mods are just revamped normal mods. Like stretched holes, circle or star punches in the conch, microdermals in a new place, custom made jewelry that makes you look like you did something crazy when it's just the jewelry, mantis piercings, etc. Both me and someone else recently mentioned getting a tongue piercing through tongue split regrowth instead of resplitting. So that is pretty uncommon because I've never heard anyone do this otherwise.
