Alex is a voluntary LAK, RAK, and RBE amputee* and is now also stubbing the fingers on his right hand (I mentioned the interviews a few days ago but if you want to know more, for starters read this interview with my late friend Chaz about voluntary amputation — you may also want to read this to see what kind of guy he was before you judge him and other voluntary amputees). He used ice to do the initial DIY anesthesia and then cleanly chopped it off. There was almost no bleeding, but definitely lots of pain. Click on through if you want to see the remainders.
That reminds me, if you want to see a free video of a DIY amputation, view the final Uvatiarru trailer (yeah, the movie is still in its ultra-extended production cycle, sorry).

Branding doesn’t impede my ability to function as a complete human being nor does it help me achieve my idea of what I believe my perfect body to be.
It is purely decorative.

im sure you can find just as many websites listing homosexuality or any form of piercing/tattooing as a disease, just cause the medical community classified it doesn’t really mean anything

I’ll sum up my opinion by saying that whatever the motives behind voluntary amputation (mental illness, or an aspect of body modification that I personally don’t understand therefore I will not judge), a person has options, for example whether to go and have this procedure done or seek outside help or whatever… by sweeping the subject under the carpet like a few people who stated they don’t want to see these images on modblog, or saying this is wrong and shouldn’t be done – won’t get anyone anywhere. Let’s not be quick to judge what we do not fully understand. It is his body; he can do whatever he wants with it. And I find the fact that some people said that it’s sick and he has mental issues funny…many people said that to me about my pretty common piercings…I mean who are we to judge a person who does something that we find different and mostly uncommon and jump to the conclusion that this individual is ill, it might be true but a person with two standard lobes might have them done as a result of mental illness…so what?
I think that the fact why some people have a hard time understanding it is because the common body modifications usually are added to the body (tattoos, piercing, breast implants) and usually the removal of the body is very little when compared to amputation, skin removal for example…
I am not trying to shut people up. It’s important to have an opinion. But I feel that people are quick to judge what they don’t understand instead of taking the time and trying to be a little more open minded.
