  1. My blow-out has finally healed, but I've lost a LOT of size.

    My ears are down from 16mm to 6mm.

    Hopefully I'll be able to stretch up quicker this time because it's restretching, but potentially it could take at least 3 months between each size again.. so like 3 years to be back to my actual size again.

  2. I find it fascinating that when I post pictures of my "kill your local rapist" tattoo on social media I get tonnes of compliments and likes.. until I post it in a dating group.

    Then it's crickets, except for the one 48 year old divorced dad with wraparound service station sunglasses and a shitty tribal armband who pops up to tell me "worst tattoo eva".

    🤔

  3. Ok. Hear me out.

    Those little septum pieces that are moustache shaped.

    But nipple piercings.

  4. I am obsessed with the idea of collecting cute little bee tattoos from different artists, and having them all on my knees.

    Because that would be the bees knees.

    This is not a shit post.

  5. I've lost 2mm in my stretched lobes over the last two days, because my immune system is fucking around and my piercings have all gotten grumpy.

    I was at 14mm (9/16") heading to 15mm, and now I'm back to 12mm (1/2").

    😕

  6. There's this weird thing that happens when I'm chatting with someone and they ask about my piercings and tattoos, where as I'm talking about them I get a bit chuffed..

    "hey, I guess I am a bit alternative after all..."

    I'm used to seeing a 52 year old look like this, so it feels normal to me.

  7. CW: :gregthestopsign: GREG :gregthestopsign: - DO NOT READ PLEASE

    I got my nipples pierced 6 weeks ago, and am getting the bars sized down today.

    I had them pierced like 20 years ago, but lost them when the edge of one of the piercings got angry and I ended up just taking the jewellery out because I couldn't be bothered with the effort of healing it up.

    One of them is a little wonky, and I'm hoping it's less noticeable with the shorter jewellery in, but my guess is that I'll need to heal it up and get it repierced straight.

    But also, Greg doesn't know! I'm planning on surprising him next week! I'm pretty excited that I've been able to keep it quiet this long... I'm notoriously bad with surprises. And I WANT to tell him, which is why I'm posting about it behind a CW.. so hopefully I don't let it slip.

  8. Before I got my horns implanted, I did a lot of research. Nearly every person who posted about doing it said they were constantly asked questions about it as people noticed them and were curious. Like, it could be annoying how much people stopped to ask you. :neocat_surprised:

    So I got my horns, same standard size as anyone else would start at, and... Crickets. I've had to point them out to people who end up surprised, like they didn't even notice. :neocat_confused:

    I'm left with but two conclusions to come to:

    • People try to pay so little attention to disabled folks that they literally don't notice horns sticking out of my head.

    • People assume those horns are some sort of congenital defect because I'm disabled and think it's rude to bring up.

    Neither of these make me feel all too great. :neocat_drowsy:

  9. I popped in to my tattoo place today to chat with the new piercer there and ask her to look at my conch punch because I think it's growing some irritation bumps (I can't see it properly, even in a mirror).

    It is—boooo!

    She seems amazing though—yay!

    We ended up having a long chat about the importance of building up alt community in regional areas, because of the high youth sui rates (especially Aboriginal kids!) and how we were both saved by finding community.

    I'm going to book in the next week or so and get a couple more holes jabbed in my ear.. I was wanting to keep working on my ears, but with my regular piercer not really getting to Bathurst much anymore I was out of options.

    I'm super glad they're working at Sage now.

    If you're interested, give her a follow:

  10. Trying (yet again!) to explain to kinksters that you can't just boil something to sterilise it.

    You need high temperature over time - so 121°C over more than 15 minutes, or 132°C over more than 4 minutes.

    "cool I can just boil them for 15 minutes then"

    That's not how any of this works.

  12. It's really nice to pop in to see my tattoo artist and end up getting a bunch of hugs from everyone.

    For someone who grew up being very bullied for not being a cool kid or fitting in anywhere, it feels healing.

  14. @thomas_klopf Ah, that's why the current work to develop Foreheadlamps, an array of infrared illuminators implanted in one's forehead! Those with larger foreheads will have an advantage.

  15. I just saw a ouija board lower back "tramp stamp" tattoo, and honestly.. I don't know how I feel about it.

  16. Timeline of Events.

    #Furry #BodyModification becomes publicly available.

    A famous actor, along with several B-list actors, eventually go full-furry, arguing they can play roles set in both the modern day and fantasy.

    Disney makes a live-action remake of Robin Hood with an all furry cast, and overt sexual tension between Robin and Marian.

    Win.

  17. Had a fantastic experience buying a couple pairs of #plugs from #BareBonesOrganics recently. Couldn't be happier with 'em, and had to share. Gorgeous craftsmanship, I'll be back. :)

    They were kind enough to throw in two extra pairs! In both images, I bought the ones on the left, and received the ones on the right as a gift. My wife prefers the gifted pairs over my choices, go figure.

  18. After deciding it felt right to make a character in #Modders #Jewish, I wanted to do a little bit of digging, because I know #Tattoos and #Piercings aren't considered #kosher, and her whole family has some far more extreme #BodyModification going on. (Furries)

    Came across an interesting article which points out that the specific line in the #Torah / #OldTestament, #Leviticus 19:28, is somewhat vague and seems to apply more to 1) not self-mutilating for the dead or an idol, and 2) that God is not asking anyone to self mutilate. Also, when we apply that to the context of things happening at the time, we see some pretty brutal practices, and some pretty severe infection risks. That's sort of vagueness and context is common for Leviticus.

    So I wonder if, in a future where these #BodyMods are common, and "Image of God" is not as widely interpreted to be a statement of physical likeness, could the opinion of what is "kosher" in itself be different here?

  19. #FediPoll time!

    Settle my argument that the subculture described in my #Scifi setting of #Modders is not unreasonable...

    Imagine you lived in a future where #BodyModification technology was at the point that you could quickly and cheaply get pretty much a full rework of your body, and one of these was a potentially reversible procedure to make you an IRL #Furry by giving you #anthropomorphic #animals features, such as fur, tail, muzzle, etc. Imagine this is mature technology, and normalized enough, that there will be no medical or societal ramifications if you get such modifications.

    Do you get the #BodyMods to make you a Furry?

    (Please #boost this #poll and respond in the comments: I want to hear what kind of Body Mods you would get, and may use that in my #Writing!)

    Edit:
    Let's see if anyone else responds in the last 6 24 48 72 hours...

  20. Victorian-era #nipple #piercing? Yes! In a Parisian #salon, naturally.

    I just remembered the time I tracked down a long exchange of detailed letters in an ancient volume of the #Victorian periodical English Mechanic and the World of Science, all about Constance and her little sister Millie who went to the 1889 #Paris Exhibition and came home with #pierced #nipples. It's big fun!

  21. I got a body mod today!

    It's technically a conch piercing, but it's done with a biopsy punch and then tapered up. It's 6mm at the moment, and in a month we'll size down the jewellery to 5mm so that it finishes healing neatly. Then if I want to, I'll be able to stretch it back to 6mm (and maybe further).

    Dimitri, guest piercing at Sage Studio, did it - they did my high nostril piercings last month.. and again, it was a fantastic experience.

    Everything went smoothly. I felt comfortable the entire time. I was able to ask questions, as well as just chat about body modding. I was a nurse for a long time, and was watching their asceptic technique.. which was spot-on.

    The piercing itself was quick. It was painful, I'm not going to lie. Because it's cartilage, there's a roughness to how it feels as it's being done. And it feels achey now as well. But I enjoy those feelings.. they're happy "I did a pretty thing to my body because it's MY body" feels, and I think that's the powerful thing about body modification.

    I think it's my favourite piercing I've had done. I love the way it looks with the glass plug in it, and the way the light shines through it.

    I'm already wondering about getting a matching one on the flat of my other ear.. 🤔

  23. CW: crucifixion, erotica, body modification, research request

    I'm chasing a research thing all the way down a rabbit hole for a patron.

    Christians sometimes conduct bloody reenactments of their #crucifixion myth.

    #CrucifixionPorn (usually very tame, think bondage not nails, unless CG) exists.

    Has anybody ever heard of crucifixion cosplayers getting surgical #BodyModification (holes, aka #stigmata) to help them do passion plays and/or make porn more easily?

    Boosts hugely appreciated.

  24. CW: Sex, Kink, Taboo as Autistic Special Interests

    I am honestly wondering how my #sexual interests, kinks, and fetishes are #Autistic special interests. It doesn’t change any of it, but I am honestly curious if I would be as focused on being the sort of #piggy #submissive #faggot I am if I wasn’t Autistic. How many of us are there? 😈 is it part of why I have reduced inhibition to hedonistic pleasures?
