the moderators must be asleep.

why?

is it *PORNOGRAPHIC*?

too much bare arm for ya, eh? ;)

or is it *RACIST*?

maybe a little *HOMOPHOBIC*?

or even *LIBELOUS*?

bad taste is a matter of opinion of course.

but then again, any form of art is based on tastes and opinion. and body mods such as tattoos and piercings are undoubtedly a form of art.

so, are we taking this a bit more back on *topic* or not, mmh?

that's both horrible and moronic. at least richey manic's 4 real had a point to it, albeit a rather extreme method of making it(and no less stupid than this).

i can't think of any justification for this nonsense. i'm not offended(although i am squemish), i just think it's stupid.

Like everything else it comes from indigenous tribes and has absolutely no relevance to the suburban rich kid mall punks who do it simply because they can afford it....but hey whatever floats your boat. I have tattoos and piercings because I like them' date=' and thats good enough reason for me.[/quote']

i don't think you can compare tattoo's and piercings to that nonsense.

and frankly, aren't people sick of stars as tattoos now? way to be individual and think for yourselves eh? "every punk kid in the world has a star tattoo so i'm going to get one too cause i'm a misunderstood suburban middle class idiot bleh"

Well there you go he took it to the next level and got the star cut out :D

He'll be getting his foreskin snipped for a skin graft in a few years time I'm sure anyway. How cool will that not be....

There was a programme a while back about extreme piercing/ tattoos etc. They said its only a matter of time until people take things to far and die (out with the usual blood poison deaths). Perfect example is those people who get amputations because they hate having limbs.

If you could get semi permanent amputations it would sweet!! I can't get to sleep for my arms at night, would be ace to just rip them off at night...getting them back on could be tricky though.

Personally I do not see where the problems are. I have researched scarification quite a bit in the past- whether it be chemical, cutting, skin removal, branding or even using a tattoo machine with no ink and a longer needle- and as long as you have it done professionally (and not by your drunk mate with a stanley knife out of his dad's tool box) clean it regularly, keep it dressed and all the obvious, sensible things you would do with an open wound then the risk of infection is no greater than getting a tattoo or piercing. The same goes for sub-dermal implants. This is just another case of ignorant people disliking what is different, and thinking that it's "wrong" because of that- just like when piercing began to get popular in this country. If a mentally fit and consenting adult wants to permanently mark their bodies in a way that makes them feel good about themselves who has the right to say otherwise. Jewish boys are circumcised at birth- obviously against their will- and no one complains about that. The whole point of any body modification is people expressing themselves in a way that THEY enjoy and makes them feel good about themselves.

Or at work.

Hmm' date=' I dunno. There's been a few complaints about this thread, and I can see why some people would be upset by it. However, it's no more graphic than the Richey Manic "4REAL" picture or the video of the guy breaking his arm that was posted here a few weeks back.

I think it's a reasonable topic for discussion, so I'll leave it up for now with a warning in the title.[/quote']

The moderators did take action eventually. I was commenting only on that inevitability.

My two cents: If you had skin voluntarily removed could you not donate it to a tissue bank?
