"Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Disclaimer* I am NOT A professional tattoo artist, Body Piercer, Surgeon or anything of that nature, nor do I claim to be. Be advised that I answer questions that I feel I have sufficient knowledge to answer.I am on my way to becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) and, Body Modification is a big Interest of mine. I do ALOT of research on the topic. I get my information from various sources, be it Professionals, magazines, or BME and other such websites. You can either take it or leave it. This thread is to serve as a place for people to talk, as well as ask questions, or just come for advice. It's up to you what you do with the Information you find here, If you have any kind of doubts, it is ALWAYS best to talk to a reputable, professional artist in your area. I have only 1 rule for this whole big thread...... -Be respectful of people's views and opinions. what you may find disgusting others may find to be a way of life, and vice-versa. If you're only going to come in here to post things like "that's so dumb, ewwwwwwww, that's disgusting" and things of that nature, Don't even waste your time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- we the modified hold that we are a distinct subcultural group with an established history and way of life. we take part in these activities and perform these body modifications for the betterment of ourselves, of our peers, and of the world in general. Piercing, tattoos, scarification, and other modifications are active political protest and lead to positive cultural reform. we demand the right to treat our bodies as our own, and we strongly urge all to do the same ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some useful Links... For anybody with an interest in Anything Body mods, Check out BME. This is also a useful site for seeing a TON of pictures of any kind of Body mod Imaginable.  Another useful tool of BME is the BME Encyclopedia. here you can find dozens of Definitions for all sorts of Mods, and alot of useful aftercare tips.  The link below is to the APP (Association Of Professional Piercers) website. They have all sorts of info for anybody looking on tips before getting pierced, as well as a list of registered APP members from all over the world.  Body Art Forms offers some pretty unique body jewelry at good prices. if you want to spend the extra Money, You can order Custom Pieces that are Extremely High Quality from companies like Industrial Strength, Glasswear Studios, Anatometal and more.  Heres a link to the BME DIY Piercing FAQ. Personally, i would rather go to a professional, but for those out there who would either do it them self, or are underage and considering doing it their self, This is EXTREMELY helpful.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THREAD REGULARS April_Ethereal - dagon is a gloomy bear - 410 BC - Tokodoki - RainbowBalloon06 - x-TrigintaTres-x –Jess Lojik - [x] Natasha [x] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  (Microdermals/Surface anchors.
