Bizarre Body Modifications | Zygzag's Folly

Extreme Body Modification

After Zygzag or Fishmouth decided to remove the plates he had inserted into his cheeks, he found out it came at a cost, as after they were removed he discovered he had lost a lot of the use of his mouth as well as his eyes.

Even be body modification standards Zygzag is an extremist, but to go to this level to get attention and to harm yourself doesn't make much sense to me.

What will he do now that his 15 minutes of fame are over and he's left with these types of problems, along with ugly scars from his practice?

Some looking to go the body modification route should consider the consequences if they're going to try to stretch the limits of the practice. Zygzag has found out the hard way.

Extreme Body Modification | Body Suspension

Extreme Body Modification

Body suspension has become one of the more extreme forms of body modification, and it hurts just to look at it.

There are tons of reasons given as to why someone would participate in this, reasons like meditation to gain a higher level of spiritual awareness, or to celebrate a major event to turning point in their lives.

I don't know though. They may be the stated reasons, but because they allow themselves to be photographed, it may be nothing other than getting attention or someone that wants to hurt themselves; a common response to pain.

Either way, this is a growing phenomenon that is definitely here to stay.

Extreme Piercing | Corset Piercing on Neck

Extreme Piercing

This corset piercing on this guys' neck is a little too much for me. While I know these are usually done for the sake of a photo and then the ribbons or cords are removed, but even so, having something like that on my throat would be very uncomfortable. Talk about a tickle on your throat.

Another thing I don't like is doing the ear stretching thing. The corset piercing, while uncomfortable, in general, once removed, is pretty much gone, maybe other than small and hard to notice little marks. With the ear stretching though, that's one that will really cause permanent body modification, and the ear is right there to see at all times.

Someone doing this must be making a lifelong commitment to wearing it in their ear, as the ear would look horrible just dangling from the stretching.
