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.

Bucket O’ Blood

I was going to put one of my “trademark” songs over this tongue splitting video (no, it wouldn’t have been Slipknot, ugh), but thought I’d leave the dialogue in the hopes someone would translate it/enjoy it.

    This video just shows why this sort of procedure shouldn’t be done on a DIY or “by a friend” basis unless you really know what you’re doing.

    Pfft.

    I don’t speak much French anymore, but I think they were all having a good time at this poor guys expense. That was a lot of f-ing blood, and I don’t think doing it at home, in the kitchen, is very clean….At least they didn’t do it in the bathroom

    I’m so glad I had my tongue split before I saw this, it definitely would have made me a lot more nervous than I already was.

    I almost feel sorry for the guy…..

    I can’t help but wonder how clean/straight the split actually turned out.

    Daily may have been overstating, but posting DIY stuff like this is as good as condoning it. I understand that body modification as we know it today has it’s roots underground. However, there is no reason that in todays day and age, along with the available facilities, that we should ever see a washing machine (or whatever that is) in the background of a procedural video.
    The quality of the procedure is revolting enough without having to wonder how inefficiently they made a “sterile field.”

    Mathew – As long as there are available facilities I agree with you, and I’m not saying that folks should go out there (well, out of their bedroom and into their kitchen) and follow the lead of the people in this video. I’m pretty sure that people are sensible enough to understand that just because it’s on ModBlog doesn’t make it the right (or wrong) way to do something.

    i couldn’t explain how many things here were done wrong if i tried (well, i could, but you get the expression).

    i feel so bad for that boy. that most definitely was not the way to go about it…
    his tongue got butchered… eeek.
    i’ve never seen that much blood due to a tongue bifurcation, fuck.

    i’m getting mine done soon,
    and this has not put me off in the least because i’ve seen tongue-splittings that were done correctly and by a person that actually knew what they were doing,
    and everything went fine.

    so, don’t let it put you off, guys.

    just make you sure you go to someone who knows what they’re doin’.

    …I really doubt that bowl was autoclaved, and she kept wiping the scalpel on it, then using the scalpel. *shudder*

    and I don’t think it should take that many incisions to split a tongue….

    Please tell me that is not the ay it’s usually done because if it is, I don’t think I want it done anymore:(

    I always wondered, are they supposed to numb your tongue, or do you just feel everything?
