OT: Piercings

Apparently splitting the toungue will not give you any abilities you didnt already have. If you can roll your toungue, or better yet twist it (roll it over), then that shows some extra control of those muscles which can be interesting to play with once its split. But if all you can do is stick it out then thats going to be about it. The one that most people DO have is flatten-it, point-it, flatten-it, point-it. If you practice that with a split toungue you get neat effect. Whats real fun is that if you stick it out "pointed" then its easy to overlook that its not a normal toungue, then spread the forks (flatten it) for the look on their faces.
(no, I dont have one. Ive never needed artificial means to fit in just fine with the strange crowd)

It didn't hurt that bad. I put an ice cube up against the area beforehand, both to restrict blood flow and to provide some numbing. The scalpel was quite sharp, and I didn't feel anything more than a tug at the cut.

Of course, the sight of the cutting, or the knowlege that I was doing it to myself, or the blood triggered an intense rush. Adrenaline, I guess. So I wasn't feeling any pain for a while after that anyway.

Now there's a dull ache, but it's not bad. And it probably wouldn't be there if I'd have left it alone after the main cut, instead of going back to try and take it further back on each side.

Damn, I'm getting a little bit of a rush just thinking about it. Hell of a thing. I can now understand, somewhat, why people get carried away with this sort of thing.

I have just discovered that I can now move my uvula around with my tongue.

How's your piercing working out, Renegade 13?

Just googled it and found the word I was looking for: Trepanning.

However, this has to be a joke - lobotomies for stress relief?

Yeah, that's got to be a joke.

Lol I haven't freed my tongue, and I can already move my uvula around with it!

As for my piercing, its doing great. Hasn't infected, doesn't hurt anymore, and I love it, so...its doing pretty good. Thanks for asking.

Some people have larger, or more flexible tongues. Some people are born without that particular frenum. And some people who don't fit into either of those two Groups decide to do something about it.

I was hanging out with friends today and one, who is seeking some new ink, led us into a tatoo/piercing place. I was curious what my little modification would have cost me, so I talked about it with them. They're piercing guy wouldn't do that kind of thing, they told me. And when it came up that I had just recently done it myself they were shocked.

Apparently this is a fairly 'extreme' (their word) mod. I wasn't aware. It seems like such a minor thing.
