Now that’s intense.
Update: Since people are asking, the “why” answer is because the navel is very sensitive and many people greatly enjoy this type of navel play (BME/HARD has a lot of navel play pictures). The “how” answer is because it’s a skewer, not a beveled needle, so when it pierces tissue it spreads more than cutting, and pushes things out of the way before penetrating them. If you want to find more information on this in a fakir context, try a search for “Mirin Dajo”.
PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!!!

Oo I can usually handle this blog but that makes me a bit squeamish. Very interesting.
Mmmmm — I can’t help it, my brain just screams – “why?!” Though I suppose that’s my own question to deal with.
No disrespect to the brave intended — but is this body modification?
And by the same extension — can anyone who is penetrated then consider themselves modified?
I’m no one to judge other people’s mods or rituals, but I was wondering what the medical implications of such a puncture might be? Like, are perforated intestines actually not as bad of a problem as I’m assuming they are?
Sorry if this seems stupid, but that must be extremely dangerous…
That skewer looks long enough to hit a few organs.
This must be a photoshoped
That’s… dumb.
Good for him, at least he enjoyed it.
(I won’t ask “WTF?! WHY?!”, cause I’ll probably won’t get an answet. Oh weel.)
*answer.
Oh, and I also agree with Matt 😛
Daaaaay-um!
I want to meet this person, I want to understand how he does it. It looks so intense… it just looks.. wow…
Whether it’s body mod or not – I think it is. In the same way that suspenion is.
All I have in my head is Eddie Izzard saying: “Yes that’s fine an dandy, but do you have a flag?”
It’s not photoshopped. The reason you can do this is because the skewer isn’t totally sharp, so it moves tissue aside rather than cutting it.
Wow, thats the first thing ive ever seen on here that made me feel like I was going to pass out… Good job man!
And for the “why”, the navel is incredibly sensitive for many people — navel torture play is quite common, and a small percentage of people enjoy it immensely.
At first glance, I thought this was a pregnant woman performing some sort of bizzare abortion.
That reminds me of a lyposuction procedure I saw on TV when I was really young. They stuck the sucking metal straw thing through her belly button too.

watch this video from about 20 to 22 minutes…
it’s about a dutchman, who called himself mirin dajo, who lived around 1947 who couldn’t get hurt… he didn’t even bleed when the swords got pierced all the way through his body and his insides still were intact…
It reminds me of the old wives tale about piercing your belly button and your stomach knotting around the bar – I guess the doctors would be right if they were all done like that heh.
Neat 😀
I squicked a bit, but it’s still very awesome that it’s possible to do that. 😀

it’s been a long long looong time since anything i’ve seen on here has totally got me all squeamish. *clutches stomach and dies*
Note the scar running down his stomach. One of my co-workers recently had to have some canerous material removed from his bowel and he has a VERY similar scar.
Perhaps this person had to have some organs (re?)moved and thus was able to perform what we see in the picture.
Very cool either way, I always wondered what that may feel like… it hurts me a lil just to poke inside of my navel. ^_^
i was also thinking that or something similar – that like maybe there was a healed fistula there to begin with, from a surgery or something. THAT would be a modification 🙂
guh.
i hate just putting a q-tip in there to clean it.
wow. haha, i have a friend who might consider this his greatest fear, he hates even getting poked in it.
lucas fury dkc: dude are you around a computer?
xnicholasDEMPSEY: Yeah…I’m at the shop
lucas fury dkc: get on
xnicholasDEMPSEY: Kk

xnicholasDEMPSEY: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
xnicholasDEMPSEY: YOU BASTARD
..see? haha
I’m sorry, but if you ask me, thats really rather fucked…!!!
“navel torture play is quite common. ”
O rly?
Hahaha Lucas
And like someone else said, not many things make me squirm but this sure did..
Manada, i would consider this more ritual, a bit like suspension or cheek skewering, not exactly modification but it all kind of ties in together.
That being said OOOW
I would really like to know how they did that without hurting any organs. Thats pretty amazing really. Looks pretty cool but I would not do it myself, i can barely clean my navel without squicking!
AWESOME!!!
It is possible that he has had some or all of his large intestine removed, as in IBS.
I can’t help but notice the creasing under his pecs, however. It seems like he may be distending his stomach or somesuch? I know I’ve seen people do very strange things with their abdomens.
WOW! I’ve got to think about this for a while. I wonder what he could of hit and how to not damage it.
not very many things make me squeemish- this doesn’t either. mad props to this guy, that’s extremely impressive, definitly made me do a double take.
I’d do it if I could.
Good for him.
that rules.
let me revert back to my childhood for a second: gagagagagagagagagagagaga
:S
that’s about all i could say when i saw that picture, oddly enough.
it’s certainly strange that more people get “sickened” out by something that involves no blood or gore.
but then again, this is bmezine: anything is possible 😉
I was more impressed by his massive gut.
thats pretty intense. i hope he knows anatomy well
I’m just curious how one avoids peritonitis (from punctured intestines) when performing such a procedure? Interesting!
Sickened nothing. Let’s be serious about this. If he doesn’t pierce an organ he’s at risk of peritonitis, a potentially fatal infeciton. Penetrating the abdomen is a “big deal” and even doing so in a surgical setting requires serious considerations of sterility and the like. Further considering the underlying structures is important here. The navel is often above the level of the bifurcation of the abdomal aorta which means that back there somewhere is the largest vessel in the body which if penetrated would result in a pretty rapid death from internal bleeding. Relatively speaking, any of these complications is uncool.
That said, dude. Enjoy your thing, I just have serious reservations coming from the medical side.
wouldn’t the fact that he’s a big dude play into it also? granted, i don’t know much about anatomy, but it looks like he’s got plenty of squish to skewer before he actually gets to anything important. skinny dude like me might not be so successful…
::gibbers incoherently::
Oh man!
you should probably lay down to try such a thing, eh? would it make a difference?
that’s great.
Nice.
I’m betting the person has Crohn’s and has had small bowel removal with some fistula development as a result which would at least facilitate such a feat.
Buuut, looks fairly well built for a Crohn’s person…maybe something else…
I can imagine that feeling pretty interesting in a good way though, all possible complications aside.
So, let me see if I’ve got this down; the skewer is about seven inches long, give or take, and it’s penetrating about five, maybe six inches into his abdomen. IIRC, there is an impermeable membrane between the abdominal muscles and the intestines. Does the skewer actually piece through this membrane?
And if the skewer isn’t really sharp, how does he get it to penetrate the skin and muscle in the first place? I would think that would take a lot of force, and if you slip when forcing something like that, it’s, Hello!, Perforated intestine!
how funny is it that i spent more time looking at the scar on his stomach rather than the skewer in his navel? guess it’s because i have a very similar scar, from back in the days when they didn’t do scope surgery to rip out your gall bladder.
made me shiver a bit too, but hey, to each their own. i hope he at least enjoys it.
I agree with moddoctor (#37)
WOW. Just…wow! That’s amazing, the fellow who did that must be very brave. I wouldn’t be able to do it.
I don’t know what exactly what, or how thick whatever barrier between the bellybutton and organs are (I wonder how hard he had to push)…although I do remember reading in Modern Primitives a story of how someone died getting the inside of their bellybutton tattooed the tradition Samoan way, guts on the outside and everything…does anyone know what I’m talking about? Random, but it this made me think of that. Also, I can only imagine the putrid smell emanating from that bellybutton during the healing process, EW!
Finally something here made my stomache turn! 😉 I personally can’t stand it when someone put’s a finger in there, so let alone this..!
