  • Hey I realized this video was posted 2 yrs ago but i just wanted to say that it was very inspiring and real. I know how we all feel wen people look at us and stare n think we are weird but to be honest who are they to judge wat is normal n in our eyes i feel we are all just trying to be us n thats why i just had to give u props for this video cuz it truly is the best explanation & we need more people like u who just need to be real n not be afraid to say fuk it this is me n i love it.Take care!

  • Beautiful :')

  • I am currently at 1" in my ears and my septum is a 6 gauge, and personally, I do it because I love the way it looks, it makes me feel good to go somewhere and turn heads, idk if you don't like it you can eat a dick, But I do soooo ya.

  • im 16 i have 4mm septum , 30mm ear lobes 10mm labret and a few other things  i mod myself and started at 12 because i sumed up i dont want to live a boreing life with an office job i wud rather be out there doing something i love, something i can put my passion into and with my piecings i wil never have to turn to liveig a life i hate, also the way it looks the way you can make something look how you want to look , it is a beautiful thing and a beatiful feeling, i will mod myself till i die :)

  • i agree with everything you have just said :D you seem to be a lovely genuine person :D the world needs more positive people like you :D x

  • @666TheDevilRocks666 aw thank you.

  • @ModxMovement no worries :) x

  • This makes me happy

  • thank you

  • so... job interviews, employers... open question for others posting responses... do you take out your piercings, cover the tattoos? How do you feel about having to do this and do you think it will become more acceptable for body modifications to some extent to be visible in the workplace?

  • @marylilly1 No. For job interviews I always have in my jewelry. And mods are becoming more common in the workplace. Hopefully we can further that.

  • My mum has said if get any more piercings or stretch my ears any bigger then she'll kick me out. It just made me realise - sometimes the most judgmental people in the world, are actually those closest to you.

    hopefully one day she'll actually grow up and accept me for who I am, instead of being the real child in this relationship.

  • Right on about the 'everybody wants to be cool' thing, I stretched my ears to 22mm, but still think it's not enough. I love stretching them, and for me it's not to be 'cool' anymore, It's beacause I love stretching, I've stretched every piercing I ever got.

  • love the boat metaphor bro.. great

  • shit man your right... i love streaching my ears to there at 5/8ths but id like to go a lot bigger but my parents are realy aginst it there allways talking about jobs and shit im 16 right now but i would love to have a streached labret and septum not shure on the size so id just take it slow but your mods are amazing:) and i no what you mean i personaly hate bing considered on the bandwagon with all the kids with like 2 gauged plugs just doing that to be cool or to fit in.

  • This was uploaded on my birthday last year :P

  • You know, when people ask, the first thing that goes out of my mouth without thinking is "i like it". I dont get it why people find it so hard to understand o.o

  • @HXORYPANSHSS Yeah really. lol. I've been asked like. How can anyone like having huge holes in their ears. and im like...how could anyone like wearing that ugly ass shirt.

  • what size are your stretched ears?? I am with you man GREAT video. :) You speak the truth.

  • do snake bites hurt i just turned 18 and i might get some

  • @alexkushkid of course they hurt. don't be silly. lol.

  • @alexkushkid im 14 and i got my right side done, dosent hurt at all.

  • I'm not gonna lie i first stretched my ears cause my friend had it and i thought it looked cool. But its been about 5 years and now it's really just because i love it. I can't imagine not having it, it's like part of me.

  • You just made my day

  • Joe, i wanted to thank you for putting into words how i feel about mods. i've had my ears stretched for about two years, but actually went past a 0 earlier this year. I've been at 7/16 for about 6 months now and (this is gonna sound lame) but my parents wouldn't let me stretch them farther cause i'm only 16. And when i saw this video last week, i showed my parens, and they finally understand that my ears actually mean something to me. Thankyou for helping me explain things in a way i couldnt.

  • great video. :D

  • @xcalvooo you dudes are way cooler than i am. : )

  • Joe, you are the man. Easily my favourite youtube channel.

  • @MoldyTheWaffle thanks dude.

  • dude you are so right in what your saying in this video im at 0g right now with my ears and i am going to 00g very soon and your right it hurts but in the end result its all worth it because i love it. so thankyou for putting up this good video

  • I get that too.. I do it for the same reason as u I'm 15 I love it I no that might be a little young but hey who cares people say how could u do that? I get shit from my family all the time but i don't care it's who I am. They can't change me. And u are the shit!!!:)

  • YOU ARE THE SHIT!

    i get those questions all the time

    people also look at me different and label me as a bad kid

    i really dont care because its what i like to do and it makes me feel good about myself

    lots of people also tell me that its gross but i believe that it is really a beautiful thing and that everybody has their own interest in life

  • good shit bro, good shit. Great way to think man i can def. relate

  • You kinda look like a floating face. =o

    You're awesome btw.

  • I like how my mom and other spanish ladies ask me why I have tattoos and why I stretch my ears yet they have eyebrows tattooed on top of their eyebrows and eyeliner tattoos too. Its a stupid question in my opinion. They do their shit cuz they think they look beautiful with it. Well I think I look beautiful with my ears stretched and my skin tattooed. I feel more like ME when I do these things and I love it. I always just ask people why they do something they do and then they shut up.

  • great video man loved

  • one of my family members asked me the same... i told her cause i love the way i look with it on without it im naked.. then she asked if doit to fit in but none of my close friends have mods.. when i told her that she switched her argument and then told me i do it to stand out.... lol

  • @pinkwolf78 thats a stupid question. there are a lot of places that wont hire us. but there are just as many place that will. u just gotta look a little harder.

  • whos the guy you mentioned whos videos you watched?

  • "we may be in the same boat, but we are not going to the same place", man that gave me goosebumps how well you said that.

    mind if i use it?

  • dont use it as your own. but you can quote me. hahaha.

  • i would be happy to do that for you :)

  • Joe you're awesome.. I have tattoos all over (hands,fingers,arms,throat,ect­.), and I have my ears stretched to 3/4.. I can't find a job to save my life and it sucks because I'm just trying to be me.. Your videos really inspire me to keep pushing and just be myself and it will be ok in the end.. Thanks Joe!

  • hey joe, you are a big inspiration on my stretching, i love stretching my ear. It seems as noone understands why i do it, but you really stole the words right out of my mouth on this one. I do it for self satisfaction, not for other people, 5* for the video, and thanks alot for being the inspiration on my journey through the mod world.

  • hey thanks for the comment. i appreciate it.

  • @skskhardcore i do it for self satisfaction too

    but im never satisfied!!!! because i always want to go bigger

    it makes me feel like i have accomplished something

  • joe is awesome!

  • your awesome.

  • Lmao...I'm Joe Walden and I'm the SHIT. xD <3

  • your fail amuses me.... lol

  • @ModxMovement glad my failure is entertaining lol

  • Props to mod movement! I am in 6th grade currently I don't have any mods but I plan on getting my ears,tounge,lebret,and or eyebrow pierced I think mods are totally based on self expression keep making mod movement

    I'm not shure if I am going to strech my ears

    (my mom might kill me) LATER!!!!!

  • @mrfishey97 Mods are great, but maybe waiting until you're out of middle school would be better.

  • Dude i really love this video, along with all of your other videos lol. I can imagine what made you want to make this one. We've all been there, whether we saw someone asked or we personally got asked that very question, "Why?". Some may feel that were taking this question way too seriously, but hey God bless you yaknow lol. I'm a Christian in the city of Savannah Ga. with 1 1/8 stretched ears and going up, plus i worked in my churches bookstore so i got/get that all the time lol. Stay Cool (-8

  • mannn i wish my mom was as understanding. my parents just got divorced im 14 and piercings help me express myself i have 7/16 left ear just got my right ear pierced at an 8 and i have lebret at a 12 and she said i cnt have anymore but i really want my septum done

  • DUDE seriously, this is really great stuff. i mean, there so much personality in all the stuff you say in your vids, and its really inspiring and touching.. so once again, great work!

  • Made me smile watching this video I have been asked the same questions you have and modding makes us happy great video I hope mod movement goes along way :)

  • fucc ya man. making me feel like a proud fellow bod mod. now i know im still in the "IF" STAGE but im getting more gotta do it piece by piece. fucc ya keep the movement ALIVE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I feel the same way joe. I have a lot of piercings and no tattoos. but i have plans for some heavy black work.

    But i'm real glad you posted a video like this. You speak the truth my friend. We do this to ourselves because we love it and we do it for us and no one else. Keep up the good work and keep being a badass

  • yay!

  • thanks dude that was a dope message and i feel the same i love mod btw im at inch and a 1/4 now

  • Very wise words. And joe walton IS badass.

  • Favorite video right here

  • this vid is to true.....i feel like you now how i feel...

  • exactly!

  • body modification makes me feel unique thats why i do it and love it :) it seperates me from all the other people which i like and it just makes me feel beautiful in my own way

  • i want to stretch my ears but i dont know if id want to do them right now because its a life long thing. I think they are raelly cool and you have to do them for your self, not let people push you into it. so im waiting till I know i want to do it :D great vid man

  • great video brotha...I agree although i'd never stretch my labret i wouldnt judge someone who chooses too...ima stick with my stretched ears and cartilage ear piercings and maybe a few tattoos but that would be sufficient for me...in ur blog include Ear Muffs...mother fuckin modders need ear muffs =P

  • wow thank you so much man a well needed video

  • this video got alot of responses. im happy. it shows that you guys actually watch these videos. lol.

  • its because we love you :) haha x

  • wat was the youtube name of the guy who has the 50mm lip plate??

  • Hey Joe, it's jason (jazo if you remember me) Awesome video man. I've always kind of laughed to myself when reading a lot of experiences and watching you read the emails from kids (and yes that is what some of you are...KIDS) 15-16 yr olds who are stretching just for the simple wow factor of it all because when you're young like that, you like to get a reaction from people. Whether they admit that or not, it's true. I'm 27 and when I was young like that, it wasn't about stretching and all but I

  • did all I could to be different because it 'shocked' people. I grew up and thought to myself a few years later 'wow what the fuck was I thinking?' It's so funny because whether its back in 1999 or 2009....teenagers are young and ignorant to everything and we can't tell them anything. In no way am I hating but I just would like to emphasize as permanent as a mod is....please do not take it as a race, a popularity contest, or a reason to possibly injure your body beyond possible repair.

  • If you are going to modify yourself, do the research yourself. Don't listen to your friends because no matter how close of a friend they may be...that doesn't mean they know how to do something correctly. Do some reading on some reputable informative websites. A little reading won't kill you I promise! :P I'm currently at 9/16" and it's taken me almost 4 years to get there. Take the time and listen to your body. That will really help in the overall process of stretching and healing.

  • first of all im 26 years old and just started stretching my ears again 5 or 6 months ago the last time i stretched my ears was in early high school i was like 14 has i got older i grew out of it and just wore like 10ga hoops and diamond studs imat 1/2 and glad i got back into body mods this is the biggest my lobes have been and i love it if i would have keep doing it when i was younger i would be eaisly at 2 inches if not bigger so i say do what makes u happy and fuck the haterz

  • The things you said are so true, when people ask me why I always say, because it makes me happy. And its funny you said you dont think your that modified but other people with less mods think you are, I totally agree with that. I got a lot of implants and a tongue split but I dont see myeslf heavily modified either but other people do. I guess that in the end its what you think about yourself and not what other thinks about you that counts.

  • haha yeah its so fun to mess with ppl i told some girl they used some thing like a hole puncher to make the hole and that the piece of meat lands on the bottom and then my gf was agreeing with me and the girl was all amazed haha

  • dude so true, i got 1" plugs and noone thinks im normal and my parents dont exept me so thnx for being someone who stands up for it :)

  • same as me im 16 and people quite often call me earring boy (i only have 5 piercings) or wtf is wrong with your ears why would u make a hole big in it. its good to see people like you guys ... keep up the good work :)

  • being called more than one thing emo goth etc. just means your better then one thing when people label me as emo scene etc that just makes me better then them we "modders" for say are the shit so they are just jealous ^.^

  • your a fucking idle.. this like the vid of all vids.

  • awesome vid man... i m with you... i love piercings, thats why i do piercings myself.

    by the way maybe you can do a vid about septum piercings, thts the piercing i love (i m at 0g) see yaaa man

  • I began stretching because it always fascinated me never thought id do it but hell after hanging around a few people with stretched ears it kind grew on me.Iiv always been the kid that everyone kinda outed. its given me my anti-mainstream and anti label mentality. im a hip hop/graffiti kid (old skool hip hop) with a new found love for hardcore music who rides a banana board i made in shop class...i mean how much more fuck society and all its bullshit can you get. I stretch because i love it....

  • Nicely said. I agree 100%

  • YOU PREACH DAT SHITT.

    I do it because it makes me feel beautiful & it helps me get closer to my ideal image of myself. It makes me happy & complete. When people ask me why I just tell them I want to and it makes me happy. It's really funny to fuck with people's heads (idiots haha) & make up shit about how your earlobes get stretched so big. My friend told someone:"Oh I got this surgically put in and if I take it out I'll bleed everywhere." - so they wouldn't ask him to take his plug out. lmfao.

  • like

  • Awesome vid man i totally agree with everything you said (:

    I do it cuz its how i think i should look and i also love doing it every step of the way theres not a part i dont like about it.

  • this other dude has alot of vids on labret stretching dyeguy117

  • great video brotha...I agree although i'd never stretch my labret i wouldnt judge someone who chooses too...ima stick with my stretched ears and cartilage ear piercings and maybe a few tattoos but that would be sufficient for me...in ur blog include Ear Muffs...mother fuckin modders need ear muffs =P

  • Hey Joe, You explained this very well. I've had many dicussions about this with my family and friends, they just keep saying they dont understand it and I tell them that they dont have to. I'm gonna keep doing it whether they understand it or not.

  • F'sho.

  • For me, it's a simple case of this is how I want to look. Thats it. Looking this way appeals to me massively. I enoy stretching, I enjoy getting pierced, I enjoy seeing and discussing it with others who also enjoy it. In a way, I enjoy the way it disgusts people and grosses people out, not for the attention, but being labelled as a freak makes me feel normal. If a freak's somebody different and people are all different, a freak's pretty normal, right?

  • my cause for body mod is not only because i love it but because it has helped with my depression it has helped with my self esteem it has made me personaly feel better about myself and etc though i go against my mother i cant stop for no one and the only person i can stop for is myself and i dont see that happenning anytime soon.......sorry if it didnt make sense but thats how i personally feel about body modding

  • right on man i shouldnt shun the people that do it for trendy reasons or to fit in either... it's their body and they can do what they want to it and i should be worrying about myself rather than what theyre doing to themselves... props on the whole movement also:D

  • great video man, im still trying to convince my mom to let me stretch to an 8g lol. and i dont wanna do it to be trendy!!!!

  • you dont gotta convince me man. lol.

  • well i dont just want to do it behind their backs cuz i dont wanna lose any trust or anything. so maybe on christmas they will let me. they keep telling me i will have trouble finding a job with it (a fricken 8g hahahaha) and that it will never shrink (again an 8g) they are ignant lol
