Alright TNK, here you go. Gods I hate having my picture taken...

And my only tattoo...

It's the black rabbit of death from the book (and movie) Watership Down. And the saying under it is from a line in the same book. It says "Can you run?"

i'm going to have to take updated pictures of my mods.

My latest is a 4g tragus to conch industrial.....

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Fri May 30, 2008 9:50 am

Nice! I really want to see that

My ear does have an industrial. The front hole is empty now, and it connects to the hole where the 4th ring down is now. Had a lot of problems with the front hole, so I am putting a captive in the front with a treaded ball to attach to the dangle I have now...if that makes any sense at all

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Fri May 30, 2008 9:58 am

Surface – 14g Nape
Private - 2x Nipples | 3x Scrotal | 4g PA | 6x Ladder

Wow. Good work! Strangely enough I have only 1 question. You have your suspensions and flesh pulls listed as ritual. So your scarification wasn't done ritual? I know most people do their scaring in a parlor, but I have been part of some ritual scarifications as well.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Fri May 30, 2008 11:37 am

I generalize mine as non-ritual... don't know why but I always have. You've actually brought forth a good question. You're the first person to make me think about this in awhile.

I'll break down each event:

3 Lines under my left eye
I had my piercer do this one for me. The whole reason I have it done is to hide the scars under my eye from piercing my anti-eyebrow 7+ times. After it rejecting out again and again and again, the scar got to me damn ugly, so I did something to help accent my face instead of having a nasty mark. There was no real emotional reason behind that one.... although I DO love being cut. It's one of the mods that I don't get nervous about and enjoy during the entire process.

BME in runes: Upper left arm
I'm sure you know what BME is, if not then head to www.bmezine.com
This one was done by my, at the time girlfriend. It was a nice emotional bond between the two of us. I cut a spiderweb with a tiny spider coming off of it onto her stomach, and she did some DEEP cutting of BME in my arm. It was after watching Taboo on TV and HAVING to have something done. It wasn't really anyway of releasing emotions, or purposely bonding with someone. I just had the itch to mod myself again. Although, there have been times when I've been in that "wrong phase" in my life and would go over the lines to make them deeper... so that one is sort of ritual, but maybe not to the same extent that you classify it as.

Two thick lines accenting gapping wound tattoo: Upper right arm
I did those just from being a stupid teenager. I used to be a cutter, and that was the one spot I'd go over again and again and again. After I moved past that phase, I got sick of looking at the scars, so had some 3d style tattooing done around it.

the top and bottom of the tattoo are where the scars are at. It follows the ink work.

So, I guess I could, in a way, classify them as ritual, but not in the same way I do my suspensions/flesh pulls. I just view my scarification in a different light than being hung with hooks.

It does lead to a good debate... what are your classifications of ritual events?

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Fri May 30, 2008 1:03 pm

Thanks for all that. It is obviously a personal experience for you that I'm glad you can talk about.

My idea of ritual is more along the lines of just that, a ritual. I'm Pagan, although I don't follow a "mainstream" path like Wiccan. I practice green and white magics as well as spirit journeys. Although I've not done any scarifications to myself (other than unintentional which I still wear with pride) but I have been involved with others who include scarring within their practices. I have not scarred anyone (I would not feel comfortable doing it to be honest) but to some people it is a very powerful part of some special rituals.

I agree with your sessions as being ritual as well. I feel a ritual is anything that a person feels a bond to or holds important to them.

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Fri May 30, 2008 10:23 pm

Huh, never would of expected to meet a Pagan on a car forum

and be all open about it as well. All shapes and sizes, eh?

Anyways...

4g custom glass industrial:

Plugs:

As you can see, my tragus is still swollen to piss. I keep fucking with it because it blocks my ear canal slightly, so it's taking longer to heal.

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Fri May 30, 2008 11:15 pm

The custom glass is really nice! My wife likes it as well for what it's worth

Yeah, I can see the swelling a bit. It doesn't look too bad in those shots, but then again I don't know how it should look normally on you

And it is interesting that you would say you didn't expect to meet a Pagan on a car forum, and one who was all open about it. I would think there would be more to be honest. Maybe it's because the friends I have are very like minded it still surprises me a bit to hear any kind of "Oh, really?" reaction. Unfortunately, when folks learn that I am Pagan, for some reason they immediately think "Devil Worshiper". But then again, the Christian faith from the beginning deemed anything non-Christian as "Pagan" so the stigma sticks

And now you have raised an interesting point. I wonder just how many variations of faith we may find on this very forum? Keep in mind I will not attempt to find out simply because it is a subject that folks get soooo bent out of shape about

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Fri May 30, 2008 11:37 pm

Well, it's also the fact that people don't usually talk about religion on a car forum, yet along such a considered "controversial" in main stream society religion. As you said yourself, not many actually take the time to LEARN anything about our various cultures in america. They just like to sterotype and assume. Hell, this is the ONLY forum that i'm on that I've even showed a picture of myself, and that's just because I've been here for so long.

The most "debatable" topic I've started would have to be the subject of abortion, and that surprisingly went VERY well. If you ever car to take a gander, just search "abortion" and my name as the author, I'm sure it'll pop up.

Wow. Quite a few with body mods on here.
I've only got:
Nipples 12g
PA 4g

I don't really have the extra cash for tattoos yet but have quite a few ideas in mind.

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 8:05 pm

Very nice! The wife really likes the Trinity knot

(She is part Irish)

Damnest thing about tattoos...you want to get more, but it gets to the point where you need to plan out what to get, where to get it, will it work with others, will it become part of a larger work, etc.

Or maybe that's just me

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 8:09 pm

not just you bro, trust me. thats the hardest part about them.

joe, howd the PA feel? ive thought about it. prolly do a ladder before a PA though....

JRM · Post by **JRM** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 8:16 pm

The pa wasn't bad at all, I had it pierced with an 8g and it stretched itself out for the most part. I've been considering converting it to an apadrayva.

J-Villa · Post by **J-Villa** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 8:19 pm

txt me joe. now or later, dont matter. i have some questions about the PA

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:47 pm

thx for the info joe.

dante, just a lil background about my trinity knot, mine is actually to represent my Christian beliefs. which is why it is over my heart. represents the bond of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost to me. while our religious beliefs may differ, we have common ground in other areas, and i like that!

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 2:33 pm

Very true

I feel that whatever you may believe in spiritually, as long as there is tolerance for everyone, then all is well!

I still want my tattoo... maybe I'll get that this year.

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Sun Mar 01, 2009 5:47 pm

And I get shit at work for having a captive bead cartilage piercing, and my lobes stretched only to 8ga

I was actually forced to take out my small cartilage piercing daily (only one I had at the time) by my super conservative former boss because he thought it was abnormal.. One of the many reasons I quit that job.

I don't know if this has been asked or not Josh, but, does that split tongue enhance, worsen, or have no affect on oral sexual experiences? Just curious...
