Wolverine or Freakboy?

It’s just temporary. Piercing on Freakboy by Jimi at Diabos Mutantes in Sao Paulo, Brasil.

    Well… first look and I liked it and then imagined him scratching somebody in rumble and…
    he would terribly pwn himself, because it will rip off with his skin… it’s on wrong side of hand and not fastened to his hand enough.

    Haha! I agree with #499!
    It’s a waste of money, and not remotely cool.
    It’s one of those things that make one wish to encounter
    an idiot like that, just to see if the skin will tear off
    or his wrist will break first.
    So stupid…

    The amount of judgment, attitude and preconceived notions sicken Me… This is supposed to be a community of friends, we are supposed to be more accepting as a community… Instead it sounds like a bunch of religious zealots passing judgment… SICKENING.

    comment number 377, Your just plain and simple, an ignorante person, as are the other 200 or so people that commented this as “gay” or “stupid” or and medium in between that. Every thing Pauly Unstoppable ( :]] ) said, is right, really, everyone, grow up.

    I don’t see why so many people are getting pissed off over his piercings, and trying to insult him. :/
    They’re harldy ‘gay’, and he clearly isn’t ‘retarded’. And I doubt he photoshopped them on..

    Why bother commenting on something when your comment is just a crappy attempt to insult somebody, a waste of time, and makes you look like a complete idiot.

    THis has obviously been linked from some idiotic page with some kind of suggestion to flame him. They’re temporary, and they look awesome. These comments are just proof that there are a lot of stupid people out there who will never cope with this lifestyle.

    I read all these other comments and IN MY OPINION, I stress that because no one else seems to think they should, it is no body’s business what or where this person pierces his body. I’ve been in the body modification business for twenty three years and I’ve seen it all. I know men and women in thier 90′s who are still getting work done. Bottom line? Thier business what they choose to do, NOT YOURS. You don’t agree? That’s ’cause you’re an idiot.

    Do you honestly think anyone but yourself is going to care about what you think?

    He just looks really dumb, is all I’m saying. If you’re going to pierce something, make it look cool. That being said, most piercings look stupid anyway, because the wrong people get them after seeing someone else who looks good with them.

    i don’t get most of the people here.
    it’s a temporary thing, let the guy be to be honest, i’m sure he isn’t stupid enough to wipe his ass with that hand or whatever else.
    and stop complaining so much guys, this is no different than what some people call fashion. ever seen any of those high class odd fashion shows? some things there noone would want to or could wear them for even a day, not even talking about a normal day with typical activity..
    why don’t you go complain about that instead?
    same shit really..

    I think if it was simply three surface piercings, it would never have made so much of a fuss. The fact that people think he’s trying to accurately portray “Wolverine” is silly. Title doesn’t help.

    Also, I have a beef with the notion that “modified people only want attention or feel unique” How is getting your picture chosen out of thousands wanting attention? (Knowing it is a unique enough mod to get featured?) Not ALL people want attention. Some DO do it for attention (although will probably never admit it), some to feel unique (also probably won’t admit this, then again, wanting to be unique isn’t such a bad thing), some to heighten sensitivity in areas (nipples, for example), some think it’s pretty, some want different sensations in sex, using piercings as novelty. There are many different motivations for modifying you body, you cannot say “[all] people do this to be attention-whores”.

    On the point of it being “self-mutilation”… Let’s compare this to tanning salons. People willingly submit their bodies to some process that modifies their appearance, in order to reach an image they will be comfortable or satisfied with. Tanning salons are generally not labeled as self-mutilation, digusting, or retarded, and that these people should kill themselves. It is socially acceptable to submit one’s skin to UV rays, to get a more pleasing skin tone. Now… I have to point out that ultraviolet rays are like cigarettes: even in small doses, it still has a negative effect on your health. No two ways about it. You can get cancer from tanning beds in some cases, and this could spread and become much more serious, even fatal. …No one has ever died (sorry for disappointing some of you) from a piercing, or from complications arising from one. So, no more calling this self mutilation. After a piercing heals, the skin inside becomes similar to the skin on the outside. Yes, scars form, but there’s nothing wrong with scars. Try telling that to the person who had open heart surgery.

    On the subject on not getting jobs or whatnot. I point out that women and black people had a hell of a hard time “getting jobs” too. Now, yes, we CHOSE to become individuals in a “minority” that is still partially socially unacceptable, but we have seen that non-modified people can also “choose” to be in a group that hinders employement options. Like having a beard? May affect job choice. Have a problem with getting to work on time? May affect job choice. Have kids? May affect job choice. Live in a certain area? May affect job choice. And these factors are still choices. Unlike being black or having boobs. Bad comparison, people.

    And finally, coming on a body modification site, to say you don’t like body mods, is about as retarded as you think we are. We all have different points of view on what is extreme/stupid/funny/ect… Which is fine, but you people don’t understand that there are ways of interacting with other human beings, respect, or at least the decency to not call him a fagot/loser/ect. If you feel the urgent need to express your opinion that he is, in your opinion, an idiot, please at least do so with some wit, humour and have as much respect as you can manage.

    That all being said, which hopefully will reach a few people… I wrote here not because “my feelings were hurt” but because I don’t like losing hope in humanity. I’m not optimistic about it, but at least I’m not going “fuck you primitive plainskins!!!!1″

    Peace.

    nice. I’m not for the piercings myself but it is cool, as long as their temporary. Still, I wonder if you can use these in place of forks when eating! 😛 Still, I wouldn’t want these getting stuck on my stake! XD
