“I did this to my left hand over a period of two years, and I’m not finished, yet. I won’t be happy with it until all the digits are completely gone. I love the look of ancient Roman and Greek statues with “missing” parts, they’re so beautiful!”
And mine, is even more so.

It looks so smooth. And that’s a lot of work done and healed in two years. Honestly, I like it at the stage it is now as compared to no digits. Stumps and such look “generic” (lack of a better word, sorry). At this point it looks crafted much like a work of art.

54. amputation should be legal?! why… so you go back to the doctor in a few years claiming insanity and sue them for all they are worth. good one.

ummm, i don’t mean to be negative, but doesn’t this seem like a slightly more close minded crowd than when shannon was around? i’m just an innocent bystander making an observation.

I love seeing amputation mods. There’s something very sincere and honest about them. I can’t imagine the human duality that voluntary amputees must feel – the desire for their body to feel “right,” versus the oppression for society of what is “right.”
And on that note, I am really shocked by many of these comments. Who are any of you to determine what is right or wrong for someone else to do to their own body? Why is this entry filled with so many closed minds in such a community where open-mindedness is embraced? Someone earlier in the comment stated that amputations shouldn’t be considered a modification. What are they, in that case? Amputations are permanent. Modifications like many piercings can be removed. Amputations tend to signify a modification of body and spirit.
I think his hand is just beautiful. None of you have to share this sentiment. But none of you have the right to throw stones.

65: KAT: Not really, amputation always got a lot of negative backlash. The main cause there own fear of them or their loved ones doing something like that.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone say something about liking the aesthetics of it rather then feeling incomplete while they still had limbs. I see stuff like this as really no more inhibiting then changing genders.

I love all the people living in fantasyland. All the sob sisters boo-hooing about “oh, you’ll feel so limited” and “you’ll regret not being able to do things”. I cut off my leg years ago and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.
Here’s a challenge to all the now-it-alls who think they can judge amp mods–find one person who has amputated an appendage and regrets it. Then come back with your shit. Until then, STFU. It’s one thing to ask why we do it. It’s another to start condemning something you know jack shit about. All the voluntary amps I know (and I have known, or know of, several dozen) are very happy with their stumps and their only regret is that they couldn’t do it sooner or couldn’t get it done safely and easily.
Besides, nobody forced you to look at this or click through and comment.

I think this is great, and what BME embodies. This is my life, and i want to look and feel a certain way, and this is the way its gonna be, regardless of what people think and even if it could potentially suck to deal with. These are our bodies, each with our own vision and ideal of how they should be. Amazing.

If people want to deliberately chop bit off themselves then that’s fine, as long as I don’t have to finance their disability benefits. I already lose 1/3 of my wages to scrounging dolescum.
