A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Tale Of Two Tongues

Lane (assisted by Charles Finnie) splits tongues with Jaclyn Loshaw and Amanda.

    The leg implant was also put up on TMZ (a site that is suppose to be about celebrities) Pretty much calling him a dumbass for doing it followed by many comments along the lines of “Tattoos suck”

    I don’t think we should be hush hush about stuff like this. Implants are already being shown on the web so we might as well show what might happen, even under the best circumstances, if it decides that it doesn’t want to stay put.

    But anyways. Nice video. I liked the “lol!!1one” at the end.

    Nice video, quick cut too! Interesting procedure, quite different than from how I had mine.

    I was hoping to see video of the stitches too! 🙁

    Roo: Nice music, as always.

    Wow! I’m not squeamish in the slightest but THAT made me cringe.
    However, I do love split tongues and would like the guts to do it someday 🙂

    I agree Shannon… Luckily things have been fine (it seems) in regards to how public that article has been.

    I’m 100% for educating people/the public about things like this, and I agree that this story in particular is a great example of implant associated risks..

    but if I wake up one day and find out that I can’t use a dermal punch or scalpel at work anymore, because “someone” was practicing “medicine” in Canada without proper licencing…

    I’m going to be ticked.

    I’ve always just been super cautious about stuff like this. it’s Just SUCH a gray area, that I think we need to be as careful as possible. There are certain places, and contexts in which stories likE That are appropriate (ie: bme.), But is advising the general public really necessary, or safe?

    I don’t want to turn into the states!

    Yara, burning it is not at all necicary. The only reason i can think of to burn the inside is to stop it from bleeding.

    Aaron if the government was going to band procedures and tools they would have used BME and ModBlog to present their case years ago. I’m interested in promoting the industry while making sure people understand the risks to the procedures. I never said I was against it and the Sun misquoted me twice. Media is hard to control and this was on 30-40 sites with the right story copied off of ModBlog before the paper and radio stations called me or started talking about it, yet they still got it twisted. Even so it has been positive in nature and most if not all responses and questions have been positive. The majority of hate mail comes from worried practioners. I said it before and I’ll say it again, my surgeon and his practice have no interest in stopping this, they only want to understand it and make sure people seek help when things don’t go right, but the procedure was preformed in the same manner my surgeon would have and at not fault to the body modification artist. I want people to know we don’t sweep mishaps under the rug as if they don’t happen. The only way to move forward and learn is to look back and improve on it.
