Body Modification Topic (non tattoo)

Not with the right care, mine hasnt smelt in years ;)

And although I doubt the guy with the facial scarfication did it to "appericate himself in the mirror" too, I just know some people do feel more complete when they do certain modifications to themselves. It's hard to explain. :)
But eh, different strokes to different folks!

If you can smell your own ear lobes, you have certainly succeeded in modified your body.

Second point. Other people have to look at this mutilation more than the person who has had it done to them. It's all a bit 'Ooh look at me, I'm interesting', yet without the hassle of actually being anything other than self-obsessed.

The best modification for some of those examples would be decapitation...
