Omg wtf did you do to your face.......I'm getting sick of getting looked at? You did it to yourself stupid, you were'nt born like that. Still looking for the ultimate body mod? Cut your head off

@butterbagboy Now, now, now. I never said that I don't want to be looked at! Just not starred at. Unless, that is, the person's eyes are filled with a lustful desire to lock lips with my metal filled face. :)

But you are right, I did to this to myself. Just as you decided to post that comment above as a synopsis of your personality, on display for all the internet to see. So be proud of your choice as I am of my own.

@wiggie666 My experience has been that the majority of people in the world are assholes. That majority is comprised of many different types of people, who have varied ways of life, appearances, ét cetera. Some people in this varied group happen to be individuals with body modifications. Therefore (unfortunately) there a lot of people with mods who are assholes.

Also, some people feel their mods are personal & don't like to have them pointed out even if it happens to be in a visible place.

Get a life and quit trying to invent one, you people so want to be perceived as victims, want to be in some sort of minority, poor little rich white boy has to invent racism against his self, lol

@igotweedinhere The only one encouraging racism here is you.

I am rich, in life experience & friends...& that's about it. Can you say the same?

The point of this video was to encourage discussion between people outside of the body modification community & those within it, to foster better understanding of each other.

Lastly, I am not male. Watch my other videos & you will understand.

This is something I've had on my mind a lot lately. I am stretching 4 piercings on my ears and have also transitioned my body through hormone replacement therapy (I am a gender queer trans woman). To me they are both equally valid in defining my body on my own terms, and I don't think that I should or anyone else be denied basic rights based on either. I'm assuming based on your comment that some trans people might have thought otherwise about your or someone else's mods?

there's my door handle !!!!!!!!!!! jp do what you want yo dont hate

I was asked the same stupid questions about mine. did that hurt? why you did it? and It was always older womens who asked me that. So my response to them was "So why did you have your son's mutilated at birth? that's body modification, Did you ask them if it hurts and why?" That and what I did to body is no difference. only difference is it was my decision to do so.
