Good morning, ModBlog! Let’s start today backwards: Here we have a young man who got his 18 mm. lip piercing closed and stitched up by Brooklyn’s number one son, xPUREx. It’s not uncommon to find reactions to procedures like this … not negative, necessarily, but certainly sad: people tend to be disappointed when a person has his or her stretched ears/lip/whatever restored to their original state. Understandable, to be sure, but I have to say, I’m always rather impressed that these stretched piercings that so many of us grew up believing to be relatively “permanent” are increasingly reversible. This isn’t to say that such procedures should be taken lightly, of course, but the ingenuity is pretty remarkable nonetheless.

for the record:
my main motivation behind this was NOT regret. i was beginning to have dental issues, and it was necessary in order to preserve my pearly white smile.
i knew the risks before i even started, so PLEASE, no lectures on the permanance of body modification and the irreverence today’s youth takes to it’s seriousness. kthx.

I can understand why someone might want this reversed. Aesthetically I don’t really like large gauge lip piercings (like…over 10mm, and that is my personal opinion, each to their own!) and practically, it must get irritating in such a heavily used part of the anatomy, and you can’t deny the damage it can cause to dental health.
That said, the reversal looks pretty neat, good luck!

i like it when these are shown….hopefully it helps some people realize that when you’re young you don’t always know exactly what you want out of life…..even if you think you do…..even if you’re positive you do….

#18, you should read what Dustin said. This wasn’t done because he simply changed his mind.

I couldn’t imagine putting that much effort into something & having it reversed. But the reasoning is legit.

Not to be an asshole, but this is exactly why I’ve never taken Body Piercing or anyone who does Body Piercing seriously. From lips to lobes, all of that can be reversed and dosn’t show any long term dedication. Where as tattooing your face, neck, hands ect. shows a large amount of dedication to body modification for whatever personal reason and stays for fucking life….
