all the mods Eye tattoo question

1 Upvotes

Asking for style/creative advice not medical!

I'm curious if there was a way to get some red in my eye that I could kind of pass off as natural damage? I work at a funeral home so I need to have some professionalism to my look, but since I can't have voluntary eye removal (Body integrity disorder here).

tongue bifurcation energy drink after a tongue split? 7 days in

7 Upvotes

That's right, I want to give in to an energy drink that I have in my fridge. I am 7 days post op from a tongue split and have lost most of my stitches already. I only have about 4 left, but I'll take it out tomorrow, hopefully.

It is a zero-calorie monster, the Ultra Punk one.

I tried an Alani for the first time before my tongue split the Witch's Brew one and have been thinking of it ever since.

I have a food syringe, and there may or may not be an attempt tonight. I wonder if anyone has drunk one being 6-7 days post op.

tongue bifurcation I have a new tongue split and I have a couple random questions

• Upvotes
  1. When you go to the dentist, doctor, etc. For the first time, do you tell them before they go looking or do you guys let it be a surprise? Also have you do you guys have any crazy reaction stories to it?
    Side note: I also recently moved to a new area so I’ll have all new drs soon. So the first time they meet me they’ll also be seeing my tongue split

  2. Do you have any tips or tricks for starting to train my tongues? I got my split just over a week ago and it’s healed really well so far but I have a feeling I’m gonna have a hard time training them to move independently and do tricks.

Thanks guys!

Since my tongue did not bleed a lot during the procedure, you can really see the muscle tissue! I thought that was cool so I wanted to share!

coinslot Long term coinslots (5+ years) results? Have they become damaged?

14 Upvotes

I've been wanting a coin slot for the past five years. I was recommended a body mod artist by a friend and need to make the appointment. However, (and I've been looking through earlier posts) my husband keeps saying if I get it it's going to get damaged and stretched over time. From all the research I've done I understand that it's cartilage and it shouldn't stretch. I'm not interested in heavy rings for it and I wanted a relatively small one. I really just want a stack of plain rings that go with the rest of my jewelry since I basically never rotate my jewelry anymore. It's also a good way to get my jewelry count up since I think it's fun to have one piece of jewelry represent one year of my life.

I know I'm letting him get to me about it, but it's going to be expensive and I don't want to regret it years down the line. I don't have any other body mods but I do have over 23 healed piercings ( and two more piercings I need re-pierced after they closed because I lost the jewelry during an unplanned surgery.) So I do already look moderately alternative.

Fresh coin slot! I am so impressed with the stitches, too. So much neater than what a doctor did for an injury in my hand a few years ago! Will post my healing journey after it is fully healed.

Also ignore the angry daith bump, it is only a couple months old and despite my best efforts and a piercing pillow I keep catching myself rolling over on it in my sleep.

question Tongue Splitting and NSAIDs

2 Upvotes

Simple question that I've gotten mixed information on while researching:

I cannot take NSAIDs due to another medication that I am on. In the future, I want my tongue split. Is having access to anti-inflammatories important enough that I should see if I can pause my medication when that time comes so that I can take an NSAID? I understand it may not be necessary, but from a safety standpoint should I make sure I have the option available?

Thanks y'all!
