iam:Godzilla Riots recently experienced an eye and lip sewing by Pierre Rogers at Lucky Monkey in Ann Arbor, Michigan, which must have been quite intense. They write,
The sewing ritual helped me come to terms with the fact that events in my life are not always within my control, and that sometimes I am subject to the uncontrollable forces of the world. After understanding and accepting my own lack of control — and that it’s okay — I realized my ability to overcome my own fears and physical pain by focusing my mind and its thoughts. Intense concentration on my mental processes, I learned, endows me with an ability through which my mental conceptions and ideas are manifested outside my mind and into the physical world — my fear and pain are not real, expressing and personifying these thoughts only hold me back. Through mental concentration I may conquer any limitations and constraints that I create and perpetuate in my life.
Many more photos continue after the break.

this is one of the only things that i actually squirmed when looking at. most things i can handle, but this kinda grossed me out.
takes a lot of guts tho. kudos for that.

eyes are my big phobic hangup-specifically, sharp objects by eyes. muchas cojones grandes to have it done…or to do it.
i was told to check this out, and i feel like i need safety goggles.

Håvve – I don’t see why not, just as long as credit is given to the appropriate individuals. 🙂 If you do end up using the pics and text could you send me the slides from your presentation? I’d really be interested in seeing them!

Shannon, I was not suggesting she kill herself at all. Instead of “nostrils” read “ears” and you’ll read it as it was intended.

re 46 – that’s all very nice but quoting a fraud still irks me.

i cant begin to imagine how much you would have to trust somebody before you let them near your eyes with a needle.
to look at, this is great. and it’s true about thinking pain away – mind over matter

So maybe now you are a primordial creature who had felt the pain of smashing into something that rips you flesh straight to a newborn eye nerve, and those otherwise subtle vibrations are still causing your protiens to crystalize as ear bone.

I knew all of that without getting my face sewn to its self…. still must have been an interesting experience.

Don’t know if anybody is still following this, since it’s been several years since the last post, but I would like to experience this and was wondering what I should know beforehand about the process and it’s possible complications. I’m very trusting of the person that will perform it; she’s a qualified RN, with plenty of experience in suturing (and needle work) but I like to be well informed before I go jumping into things. It’s possible I will also have my limbs sewn together aswell, concurrent with the eyes and mouth, adding to the overall experience of ‘having no control’.
email is [email protected] (would give out main, except I never post it publicly)
