Recently I have been considering another modification....
lets discuss tongue splitting shall we?
Back when I was around 15 I was interested in the idea, but never actually had it play on my mind so much in fact it was more of a fleeting idea that actually changed to dislike over the years, whenever anyone mentioned it I would cringe and ask why would anyone do it...and it looks wrong.
So where did my mind change???
Up until a year or so ago I found the love of tongue splitting or bifurcation again, mostly because I like the challenge of the mind, the thought of how the scalpel slices through the flesh will feel... the very idea of it when I think about it makes my eyes narrow with discomfort.... the videos of it make me cringe and shudder....exactly like the eye tattoos did....And I don't regret them at all. Its a challenge, mentally and physically. A test of endurance... and that moment when you prepare for it...the rush of excitement.... this all makes it worth it.
Response!
I have actually asked a few people about their opinions on this, just out of curiosity. I was actually surprised to be told its 'ugly' of many things bifurcation can be called I wouldn't have said ugly.... is there such thing as a pretty tongue?? what makes it ugly aside from the fact it is not considered a normal modification to have, like a boob job or designa-vagina, even when I didn't want to have the modification done, I never considered it ugly, just weird.
Outcome!
So putting opinions aside and having read a little and spoke to the wonderful Ethan Bramble about the process and his experience... because you know....it helps to ask someone who has that...(I also added the video of his procedure below!) I searched a local 'I will do it' place and it turns out they are very local! (even better)
Now at this point I was thinking, 'FFS girl, you have eyes tattooed and getting more ink.... when will you stop? (and then I come across the persons ear pointing skills!!!) .... not any time soon I imagine. Anyways, moving on, I made a little agreement with myself that if the procedure costs as much as the eyes or anything over £600 I wont be doing it... at least until next year some time.
So I was both ecstatic and slightly annoyed to see that it can be done for a pocket friendly £150! I mean... hell. If boob jobs were that cheap I would have had that done already too.... at that price, I find it hard to tell myself no. I was hoping to fall back on the price to deter me... but seeing it so cheap makes it that much more appealing... That is less than my day session at the tattooist!
I will be getting my head tattoo'd in September, not many people know about this one, I am planning on getting gargoyles, as they are protectors from evil, and it seems logical to keep my mind safe from the negativity of the world.
I have also discovered my love for a certain face tattoo idea
, but as that isn't really playing on my mind right now, I don't really need to think to heavy on that idea, and given that I have had scarification ideas and sorts for my face, it will be one that will need a lot of consideration rather than impulse.
I have been told by a few people now that it seems like im deliberately making myself disfigured or ugly. Some of them are relatives and others are not. And while I do agree that neither my eye tattoos or tongue splitting (when done) is attractive at all and it does make me less pretty....I find that it doesn't really bother me... I'm just not that shallow. ;)
This guy is gorgeous btw! <3
