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.

Do it yourself, with the dicing slicing gomco-matic!

One of the common issues I (and I would imagine a lot of other piercers) run into on a regular basis is the parents who bring their infant daughter in for ear piercings. No laws in my state keep me from doing this, but my personal ethics will not allow me to do any modification on an non consenting client. My view on circumcision is the exact same, I don’t feel it’s my right to decide the fate of my son’s penis. I feel that is a decision for him to make as a consenting informed adult.

Apparently, the parents of this BME Hard contributor, shared my viewpoints and left their son uncut. Now as an adult he has not only decided to get circumcised, it appears he decided to do the procedure himself using a gomco clamp.

    I am only rude wob because you purposely try and start flame wars. its pathetic
    and what I said was entirely relevent. you asked why would someone do it themselves instead of going to a doctor. I responded with information on why someone wouldnt.

    @Eli I completely agree with your last paragraph. Just because it is something that is common doesn’t make it an invalid form of modification.

    surf BME main site and see all the ritual scarification, say what you will about the motivations its still technically modifying your body, just like being circumsized.
    circumcision does alter ones life so to say that because it was pre birth is illogical because the person will still have an impact because of it.

    polite enough for you wob? …dick

    @ jake, you are so right dude. I was not snipped and thanks to the 4th grade health teacher explaining that nearly ALL boys were cut and its EXTREMELY rare for a boy not to be cut, and i went through elementary and middle school thinking i was some gross freak. In high school i got talking with some other friends, and found that more than half were not circumcised. This is one fucked up norm that makes so many boys think that somethings wrong with them when in reality, baby circumcision is a dying trend that in the next 50 years will be considered an embarrassment to our culture. plus that bit people cut off makes sex so much better. why the hell would you want to diminish sexual pleasure??

    @Wob: I think the importance of this post lies in its DIY nature. I would imagine a very small minority of the 980,000+ image results would have been self-done (and thereby could lack the certain deeply personal quality that seems inherent in most ‘modifications’). It would surprise me if this blog posted an entirely routine circumcision performed by a qualified medical professional, but the method seems to be the curiosity here.

    Anyway, you’ve been civil and justified in raising the issue. Your man nikk seems like a bit of a cock.

    @scott I’m a dick. I dont pretend to be anything other than that. If you don’t like my attitude ignore me.

    as far as community goes ill befriend anyone who wants to talk. The way I view Modblog is as a argumentative forum to discuss our society. Its always been a good discussion forum, go back to entries from two years ago and see how heated it got.
    I just dislike the way Wob goes about it sometimes, it doesn’t mean I dont have a marginal bit of respect for him.
