can spray freeze kill you if it enters the bloodstream?
holy fark.
rotten
Why?
It looks discusting so farā¦ I hope itāll look beter laterā¦
OUCH !!
Ok branding, scarification, implants and so on without anaesthetics but this.. Burning with a soldering iron..Theres my limit !
psychedelic maxā¦.. *DISGUSTING
ouuuch!
i wonder how the toes themselves would feel after the nail removingā¦perhaps far more sensitive and painful?
ouch, ouch, ouch, my toes hurt from just watching thisā¦
I can take a lot. But not this. Itās not so much the amount of pain, but the type of pain.
I screwed my toes up enough that I got a crampā¦ I do like that every now & again thereās something that still pushes my buttons, IAMās desensitized me to a LOT :p
However, I will now end up staring at these pictures until Iām fine with it, so keep upping your game! š
holy shit ouch!
Toenails are the bane of my existence. Toenail removal is horrible when done surgically because the anesthesia never quite seems to be adequate. Here itās done voluntarily. Done in the ER or doctorās office, itās because thereās an injury that requires removal. Never a happy time.
SQUICKāD!!!!!
eeeehhhhhh!!!
*passes out*
Not my thing. š
ā¦ that stuff just reminds me of how my mother has no big toenails because she had a fungus infection under the nail or something while she was pregnantā¦
no more football (soccer) for youā¦ them are some angry piggiesā¦ i wonder if this will affect his walking or total enjoyment of lifeā¦?
You know. I donāt mind the burn of a soldering iron. Iāve spent enough time with them that Iāve had some really, really nasty accidental burns. *getting drunk in class then doing intricate work? not always the best idea, guys. But leads to interesting burn scarsā¦and usually functional projects, surprisingly.*
Add to that the fact that I usually get a new infection in my cuticles every two or three months because of my toenailsā¦this looks very, very tempting, in theory. Without toenails iād have a lot less random infections lowering my immune system.
Not sure iāf im up to THAT much soldering iron burn, though.
Didnāt even phase meā¦
moddoctor:
you said that the āanesthesia never quite seems to be adequateā is this the case with everyone? Or the majority? Or a select few?
The reason I ask is that I got an ingrown toe nail removed by my doctor, and despite her claiming that giving me any more anesthetic would give me heart palpitations, I still felt the entire procedure. While I have also had this problem at the dentist (anesthetic not numbing the pain), as well during a day surgery, Iām curious as to whether my doctor actually performed the surgery correctly or whether I am just tolerant (? or is it intolerant in this case?) of anesthetic.
If others have this problem (pain despite the anesthetic) also, then I will keep doing home removal, though if it was likely just my doctorā¦.well I might get it fixed once and for all.
Your comment made me curious, thatās allā¦
@tokyowars: My dad has the same problems as you regarding anesthetic. Heās felt entire root canals aftre being assred by the dentist that they already gave him the legal limit of whatever it is they gave him. He also had a deviated septum corrected and began waking up naturally during the end of the procedure. Normally, people have to be given something in order to wake up, apparently.
What Iām getting at is that it sounds like you just metabolize anesthetics really fast.
Oh, wow. I wonder if she had an ingrown nail or something, or maybe just wanted to make wearing pointy shoes more comfortable?
Iāve thought about thisā¦ but when I get a hangnail or something its soooo painful. I cant imagine going through with thatā¦
But kudos to you!
Iāve removed my toenails, but not the nail bed itself. Yet. I used cuticle nippers, a scalpel blade and regular toenail clippers to do it.
Iāll have to get a picture of them tomorrow. Right now theyāre bandaged up as I had to trim them back again tonight, as they were about 1/8th of an inch long.
This is the only other person that Iāve seen do this besides myself, and they did it a lot more painfully/permanantly than I did. I feel inept all of a sudden. š
Man, I must be really lucky. As much as I pick at my toenails (how sexy is that? And ladies, yes, Iām single) Iāve never had any sort of nail fungus or ingrown anything.
This wigs me out almost as much as the animated demons that dig around in nail beds.
Almost.
yes the ends of the bones need to protection from toenails as they can be easily crushed, ie, dropping things on them, stubbing them. God made toenails for a reason friends.
what is this purpose of removing ones toenails? really why?
@MWN: Yeah, I hate those commercials too! Hehe.
I removed the nail from my big-toe a few years ago. Should I post pictures? Iāve none of the original removal but I remove the new-grown tissue about once every 2 weeks which I can photographā¦
outmywindow: crap. Doesnāt look good for me lol. I donāt mind pain when I inflict it, or I know what to expect (tattoo for example), but since I have a needle phobia also, it just makes it worse that they just keep giving me more needles hoping it will work.
Oh well, at least I know Iām not alone š
MWN: Youāre single? Never! *shock horror*
spahnranch :
i do it 2! and it was the very first time that i saw other people doing it. man iam glad about that, i thought iam the only person who is that āillā. iam doing it since iam 8 years old, and i realy donāt know why. it is the only thing i can do without feeling pain.
i like my toenails T_Tā i would neer ever do that to my toeys *cries*
Oh my. That sets my teeth on edge just thinking about it. Iāve been squeamish about nailbed injury ever since I (temporararily) lost a thumb nail courtesy of a blender.
WOW!
I just got a really weird twitch in the bottom of my stomach thenā¦ Each to their own I suppose though, hey?
I was about to have dinnerā¦
I would like to remove my pinky toes nailsā¦
but not THAT way..
*shudders*
my pinky toe nail came off one day all by its own *lol* pretty strangeā¦ but it grew again afterwards.
*shudders* toe and finger nails are one of my biggestā¦fears I guessā¦the thoguht of ripping them off, I cant watch stuff like thatā¦that guy must have a lot of courageā¦or something, lol
If there is an infection then it pretty much cancels out any kind of anesthestetic. even if you are given marcain whcih can last for 6hrs. and to prevent the nail from growing back a little bit of phenol put in the cutical will help that. i worked in a podiatrist office for quite some time and have done many toe nail removals because of fungus and ingrown nails.

This is pretty cool but I cringe when I look at thisā¦ Only because of the pain I felt when I had my (big toe) toenail ripped off involuntarily in the fourth gradeā¦ It grew back and all that but GODDAMN. Points for the pain tolerance.
Okay this is the second ever thing to make me feel a bit iffy on Modblog. The first being that ear cheese *shudders*
I think itās just feet that get me though
I donāt like feet
I have to say Iāve had to pull out half of my little toenail before. Iām freaky in that my little toenail will randomly split in two and I have to pull half out o.0
It grows back though
I moan when I break a nail hurts like friggin hell. To deliberalty burn em off jesus..ouch ouch
i was running through the house and accidently kickeda hockey skate and broke one of my big toe nails in halfā¦ not too funā¦ hahaā¦ and iāve had ingrown toenails 2 different timesā¦ both times it was in both sides of both big toesā¦ first time i cried and laughed hysterically so the second time i went underā¦ just cut my feet off completely bext timeā¦ adiosā¦ snoochie boochies my boo boo kitty fuck
Squicked here too. I have no problem with people who want to do that, and I have no problem with people who think itās cool. But me, I need to wash my eyeballs. No offense.
Very interesting. But i imagine, it will hurt like hell do burn the nailbed with a soldering ireon. I have heard about chemical ways to kill the nailbed; but i dont know what chemical and how to get it. I would also like to get my fingernails and toenails to be done.
Bleugh. Actually I was ok-ish with the picture but I feel pretty sick at someone elseās above mention of losing a thumb nail in a blender :(.
wellā¦ this makes my toesies curl up beneath my feet.
WHY!!!!???
