Skin piercing is getting popular these days as a lot of people are in search on how to look unique and different from other people. In fact, skin piercing is now considered as part of modern fashion. However, this particular fashion trend is only ventured by brave people who are not afraid to perform piercing all over their bodies.
Although popular, little is known about the origin of this fashion trend, a lot of people still go for skin piercing. Different styles of piercing exist and these include the usual forms of stars and other geometric shapes. However, some outlandish designs are also available such as horns and figures inspired from monster featured on a scary movie.
There are some skin piercings that are extreme. For instance, the bifurcation of the tongue which involves a small operation of cutting the tip of the tongue in two parts to resemble tongues of the reptilian animals is an example of extreme body modification. The depth of cut depends on the preference of those who undergo the procedure but is generally up to 5 cm depending on the anatomy of the person.
The operation is usually performed using a scalpel. It makes a clean cut and cauterized the wound to diminish the bleeding, but the success of the procedure varies according the skill of the artist. Many choose to have two or three holes in their tongues when the cut has already been healed to create a dramatic look. The piercings are placed after the bifurcation since it is less painful to the person.
The pain level is directly dependent on the strength of the person. Having said this, this type of heavy body modifications is done without anesthesia because the pain is part of the ritual, especially for those who consider this method beyond aesthetics. Unlike what many may think, this procedure does not affect the ability of the person to taste and talk. However, the person needs a few weeks to learn how to get used to speaking properly.
Thus, if you are brave then you are welcome to try this extreme art fashion.
