Body Branding
11. The art of body branding is a relatively common modification in the world of body modifications. It involves the burning of flesh to leave artistic markings that are similar to tattoos, except they are made from the healed tissue instead of ink. Body branding can be dangers according to doctors because of the severe risk of infection, so if you ever decide to get yourself branded, make sure it is a professional applying the heat.
Nose Removal
10. The man in this picture is named Emilio Gonzalez, and he is a Venezuelan body modifier which has partially removed his nose to give off a look of a skull. He has blacked his eyes and has had forehead work done, but his nose removal is his most extreme modification. Why would he do it? Self-expression, of course. Being a professional body modifier, he has modified himself in ways that express who he is as a person.
Skull Implanting
9. This one is pretty self-explanatory, but essentially what it is is the implantation of a skull mold into various parts of the body. The man who does this is named Jason Trageger, and he has taken body implants to another level. While it may look extremely painful, for Jason, it is the pinnacle of his self-expression, and he has implanted these skulls into his chest, back, and the backs of both of his hands.
Stretched Body Piercings
8. While stretching of the lobes is very popular in the world today, stretching other parts of the body is less common, yet still prominent in the world of body modification. Some people have been known to stretch their nose like the woman in the picture above while others will stretch their cheeks or their lips or all of the above. It is an extreme practice that is popular among many people in this day and age.
Transdermal Spikes
7. Transdermal spikes are implants that jut out from the skin and a man named Shannon Larratt has done this successfully. These implants are quite extreme according to doctors. This is because when these implants are applied they are sitting in open wounds and that is practically like leaving the door open for infection. Nevertheless, these implants are an astounding example of the creativity of body modifiers.
Lip Linking
6. The act of lip linking can be done in many different ways. The picture is just one example, and in that example, you see a man who has linked his lips through five individual piercings and wire. This connects the lips together until the wire is removed for whatever reason.
Suspension Modifications
5. Suspension mods are among the most extreme in the world. What this constitutes is multiple piercing are put all along the back or front of the modifiers body and then they are allowed to heal. When the healed piercing holes are ready, the person will then put hooks through these piercing holes and suspend themselves from ropes. While this may seem unbearably painful to outsiders, the actual practitioners of the art say that it doesn’t hurt as much as you would think.
Stretched Lobes
4. Stretched lobes are a relatively commonplace thing in our world today. In some cases they can be very tame, only stretching to an inch or less. However, in some cases, people may stretch their lobes to be as large as 6 inches. This style has become very popular in our world, and this is one form of body modification that has certainly picked up momentum. While other types may be too extreme for some, they can find solace in this style due to its non-extremity.
The Zipper Piercing
3. The zipper piercing is a pretty self-explanatory concept. It is a piercing that attaches to a split tongue, allowing for it to be zippered. The purpose of this is purely cosmetic unless perhaps you have a tongue division, but you need to un-split it for formal occasions such as job interviews and formal events.
Extensive Piercings
2. Just like full body tattoos, some people want to cover as much of their body as they can in piercings like in the picture shown. This extensive piercing is one of the most extreme modifications because the time and effort and pain that is put into all of the piercings is extensive and the individual receiving them has to have a strong constitution and high drive for self-expression even to consider undertaking the task.
The Human Lizard
1. Erik Sprague has spent a significant portion of his life turning himself into a lizard man. He has had his entire body tattooed from head to toe, has had dermal work on his forehead, and has had microchips implanted in his body. He has spent over 700 hours on these body modifications and much more, and he is more than proud of them. He considers his body mods a badge of honor, and he hopes to do more like eventually having an internal compass implanted into his body
