Just a quick FYI...
Getting a tongue splitting reversed is actually quite painful. Here's one guy's story. Here's some FAQ and History. Oh and an exerpt from the FAQ... What are some of the methods used for tongue splitting? The four primary methods are tie-off, scalpelled, cautery, and lasered. Tie-off is where the future split is compressed with increasingly tight loops of thread, slowly cutting through over a period of days or weeks. Scalpelled splits are cut using a scalpel or other blade, and potentially followed up using a cautery tool to control bleeding. In other cases a cautery tool may used to perform the cut itself, essentially branding the tongue in half. Lasered tongue splits, almost exclusively the territory of medical professionals, use a surgical laser to relatively bloodlessly split the tongue in half. I think it's pretty cool... I'm contemplating doing it but first I need to stretch my tongue ring up to at least 2g (it's at 10g). |

I just have the utmost respect for the shop you're at. I have to stop by sometimes when I have the extra moneh -- thinking about getting a sternum piercing - that may or may not be my last piercing before I venture into tattoos. |

tongue splitting is interesting, im sure there's a ton of hate from close minded penis'
I think its really cool and i'd probably do it too... if i was crying out for attention (sorry tied.. personal opinion.) Since the tongue is actually two muscles, you can do some interesting things when they're split. You're gonna go far with girls my man.. So stop giving trance dj's head. |

I think that if it makes you happy..than thats all that matters! Even though it made me a little sick to my stomach..I can still appreciate it.
As far as dating somebody with one..why the hell not? Its inside his mouth..its not hanging out. Body modification is no fucking different then plastic surgery. Keep the posting pictures of your progress chad ;D |

And actually, plastic surgery is widely accepted by the Modern Primitive culture. Plastic surgery IS body modification, and while I would never alter my body like that.. I can accept the fact that people do it to make themselves happy. Week 2: it's starting to go slow now.. not making a lot of progress on the tip, but the middle of the tongue seems to still be going at a decent pace. |

there's one up.. skim through the last couple pages of the thread.
my tongue didn't hurt a bit man. And so far the only thing that hurts is when it swells up at night. If it continues to do so over the next few weeks, I might resort to a scalpel and sutre. Last edited by tiedye; Oct 11, 06 at 11:34 PM. |
