Do+es anyo+ne have any questio+ns abo+ut the tatto+o+ o+r piercing pro+cess? Wo+uld yo+u like to+ share the sto+ries behind any o+f yo+ur o+wn bo+dy mo+dificatio+ns? And fo+r tho+se who+ have had ho+rn carvings do+ne, what to+o+ls did yo+u find mo+st helpful in co+mpleting the wo+rk?
I GOT BODY MODS! SOME FINGERS ARE GONE! dont fuckin know how
any suggestions or advvice for piercin horns
... That so+unds less like a bo+dy mo+dificatio+n, and mo+re like a no+table injury... Was it by cho+ice?
My general rule o+f thumb fo+r piercing ho+rns is to+ no+t do+ that. Tho+ugh it do+es depend o+n the length, girth, and o+verall sensitivity o+f the ho+rns. In any case, I wo+uld go+ to+ a pro+fessio+nal ho+rn deco+ratio+n specialist, and have them do+ a nerve scan, to+ see where any nerve endings might be within the keratin cap, and do+ NO+T get any piercings do+ne within an inch o+f the tip o+f the nerve ganglia, in o+rder to+ prevent any injury o+r infectio+n which might spread alo+ng the nerve and affect yo+ur o+verall health. Also+, in the case o+f seadwellers, due to+ yo+ur exceptio+nally pro+lo+nged lifespan, be very sure that it's so+mething yo+u want do+ne, and be prepared to+ have the ho+le refilled with a keratin infused epo+xy in the event that pro+lo+nged expo+sure to+ the elements starts to+ cause mino+r chipping o+r decay aro+und the piercing site.
... Dear, it so+unds as tho+ugh yo+u were grievo+usly wo+unded...
DIRECT EXAMINATION TESTIMONY! i'm still incredibly happy with the gems i had embedded in my horns :) i like to think it makes my horns look like an askew crown, which is an effect i enjoy
O+h! Wo+nderful! First hand acco+unts are always invaluable. But I will make o+ne small addendum to+ yo+ur statement. They were asking abo+ut piercing, which I to+o+k to+ mean creating a ho+le all the way thro+ugh the ho+rn material. Are yo+ur gems embedded in such a way that they are set into+ o+ne o+f the surface o+r mid surface levels o+f keratin? O+r are they so+meho+w actually plugging up a ho+le that was bo+red thro+ugh the material, co+mpletely?
DIRECT EXAMINATION TESTIMONY! set into the mid surface level. the original post did say "body modification", though, which *i* took to mean of any variety.
