Do you know much about body piercing lingo? If you don't, then don't fret. Here's a look at some of the most common body modification terms from KLTV 7:
Transdermal implants: Implants that are put beneath the skin but protrude outside, like metal spikes.Subdermal implants: Implants covered by skin, like inserted into bone plates or forehead horns.
Scarification: The procedure of removing skin, with chemicals, or instruments to make permanent skin scars.
Tongue splitting: The process of dividing the tongue down the middle into two sections that can be independently manipulated at will. The muscle can be cut through various methods, such as with a scalpel, string or burning tool.
Isn't it amazing how guys who are into this kind of thing endure the pain? The subdermal implant alone is like undergoing a major surgery already. Anyway, just as long as those spikes and horns come into view nicely, perhaps the pain is all worth it. Body art at its finest, I think.
