I think it looks pretty damn gross to be real. Whatever you like, but that shit would be like instant, total turnoff for me to see on someone.
I cant stand seeing that shit on peoples chests, it makes me shiver to look at it. I dont care about other piercings, i dont like big gauges too much but its aight, that shit dont faze me, lip, eye, nose, all that.
I like the more tuned down discreet lookin piercings , to me its more beautiful and attractive when there aint a over load of it. but i definately do like piercings. I aint one of them anti body mod people, unless its some extreme cases. anyways tho, this is just somethin else. I dont see the appeal to it. Some piercings look cool, this to me just looks pretty dumb. If you all about diggin shit out from underneath your skin with a scalpel then whateva. but I think that shits pretty foul. I aint meanin to be totally negative about it, but you asked what we all think about it. I hope this is better than the posts where people just talk shit to you about it. I aint tryna be a dick, just sayin how i see it.
So i guess ill ask to try and understand it better, What about it do you find attractive? What makes you think its cool? Not callin you out on a debate about it , i mean let me into your way of thinkin about what could make you think this is a supa-fly, good, awesome-o thing? Im interested in hearin what you got to say about it.
Don't worry Lace, I've read enough of your screeds to never take offense to your colorful grasp on the human language, I actually quite admire your in-your-face humanity, your balls and your quick whit. Now to the questions at hand:
It's not meant for everyone, as with most things in life, that's self evident. Its just one of those things that's not mentioned on here very often, and seeing as how this is one underground community, I had just assumed you'd be privy to the thoughts and ideals and customs of another minority of other "counterculturists." You can't deny the similarity between the Drug community and the Mod community, their both defying tradition/societal standards, their both illegal in the eyes of the law (practicing medical surgery without a license and whatnot, etc).
Microdermals are not permanant, Transdermal Implants are. I've had 3 already put into me and they came out much easier than going in, and were the least painful of all peircing procedures I've gotten (even ears, lips, nipples, even my cock for christ sake). Shit, PTFE implants aren't even permanent, you just cut them out (and if you can IV drugs, I can't see any reason why you'd have a problem with minor surgery).
Different Strokes for differantly idealed folks. I find them to be beautiful, much like I find tattoos and scarification to be beautiful. Suspension is beautiful too, more of an enlightenment practice than enything else (I'll include pics to REALLY freak you out).
Most of these practices are deep rooted in infinitly ancient cultures, southeast asians stretch their nostrils to enormous gauges over an inch, native americans used to suspend to acheive enlightnment, I forget which culture but their was one that would split their tongues and stretch them so they could roll them back into their mouths to aid in breathing excersises. Now, doesn't all of this seem firmiliar to you? American/South American shamanism, buddhist ideals, ancient practices (much like the taking of drugs to enhance one's consciousness). But I digress.
I just don't personally like standard piercings is all, detest eyebrows (not anti eyebrows, their surface bars). Hate nostrils unless their stretched, HATE belly buttons (unless their stretched) etc, but thats just MY opinion.
I took no offense to your opinions, except for the remark about being "foul and pretty dumb." I know that's your style dear, but a little uncalled for I think.
Your into tattoos right? Check out my thread on my inner lip tattoo, I posted some pics of the wife's tattoos so tell me what you think, I know your a half hour from my house and she charges half price (or less depending on the client), 50 an hour. Or just come by and eat some freshly flushed fungus, either way, be well!
And for the record, I don't think anything on this planet is "cool." Interesting maybe, but cool doesn't register in my vocabulary.
Also I no longer have that piercing, I let my wife practice her dermal punches and tapers on me, kept it for a day then took it out. Who wants to die without a few scars?
peace/love
