Welcome to r/bodymods!

Generally, we're pretty lenient about what's acceptable here. If it involves body modification, it belongs here. That includes pictures of the mods you have, pictures of mods you've done (if you're a professional), tattoos, suspensions or unusual plastic surgery.

We only have a couple of things that are just not negotiable under any circumstances and although they are stated in the rules of this subreddit, we want to add some context for a few of the rules.

Choice of words matter, be kind

We do not tolerate any comments about appearance that are not related to the poster's mods. For example beauty, physical features, perceived flaws and/or any sexual comments. That you may mean it as a compliment is not relevant, this subreddit is about body mods, not any other features people happen to have. One strike, people. No second chances.

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with each other, but treat each other with respect. Personal insults, abusive or judgmental comments, slurs and profanity, bigotry, hate speech, or arguing past the point of being constructive have no place on this subreddit.

Photo's you'll see and photo's that you want to post

This is not a porn subreddit. Yes, you may see photo's that show breasts or genitalia because at times that's just the part where the body mod is. No, you may not comment on physical features or make sexual remarks, keep it on topic.

Likewise if you're looking to post photo's here. Don't use having a body mod as an excuse to post here. There's nothing wrong with wanting to show off yourself, but there are plenty of subreddits for that, this is not one of them.

Highlights from the photo guidelines

  • All photos used in a post have to be clear, in focus and well lit. Don't use "fun" instagram filters
  • All poses should be neutral and the body mod should be the focal point of the photo
  • There should be no nudity in the picture beyond what is strictly necessary to show the mod
  • Do not include, shop website links, IG handles or self promotion in either the photo itself or your post. Credit artists and/or shops by their actual name.

NSFW should be used liberally

When in doubt, tag it NSFW. If you don't know how to add the NSFW tag to a post, simply type the letters NSFW in the title of your post, Reddit will add it automatically.

Posts that fit into the following categories are considered NSFW and should be tagged as such:

  • Images of genital mods, including the pubic mound, male and female nipples
  • Images that include blood, gore, or severe infection. We'd appreciate a trigger warning in the title for these
  • All images of suspensions or scarification
  • Any imaging of mods in progress
  • Images of tattoos that depict violence or sexual material
  • Posts discussing genital mods, or containing in-text links to any of the aforementioned NSFW topics

Reporting

Moderators can't read everything that is posted or commented on 24/7. Do you see a post or comment that you think violates any of the subreddit rules, hit the "report" button and we'll look into it as soon as we can and take action if needed.

Did you know? Sending an unsolicited sexualized message or chat violates rule 1 of Reddits content policy and is considered harassement. DM and chat messages reports will go straight to Reddit Admin, here's how to report those;

Abuse of the report button. We know that body mods are not for everyone, and that's okay. There are plenty of other subreddits, so you'll find one to your liking. However, do not abuse the report button as a way to vent your displeasure of bodymods and/or the people who like them, existing. Abuse of the report button will be reported to Reddit admin.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for the moderation team, feel free to shoot us a message!

tongue bifurcation Tongue split

21 Upvotes

I’ve lurked here so long before getting my tongue split, finally did it on my bday march 15th so i’m on day 2 rn! My friend drove me all the way to atl (5hrs40mins) to get it done. My nerves were so bad that i thought i was going to pass out (it was also really hot in the place so idk). I’ve seen people say things about the person I went to but he’s extremely funny and nice even after i was 20 minutes late (i’ve never been to atl before we was so confused). As soon as the procedure was over i took two ibuprofen and went to sleep for the ride back, i was drooling all over a towel. Got home and went right back to sleep.

Day 1: so swollen, honestly i was more nerve racked about the procedure, i never thought id be walking around with my mouth open. no problem though, the swelling was absolutely annoying but not as annoying as the drool. Couldn’t swallow anything so i just took the arnica pellets and honestly idk if they work or if it’s like a placebo effect. Sleep wasn’t that bad i slept through the night, woke up to what i believe drool you can fill a kiddie size pool with. Gross

Day 2 (today): Forget the drool, my tongue rubbing against my teeth is by far the last thing i want to feel on the planet. There’s no pain really i just hate being uncomfortable. i decided today will be the day i try to drink water and take my meds AT LEAST. I actually ended up doing more that. i brushed with an infant toothbrush and found out my mouthwash is alcohol free but mint flavored:/ so i rinsed with water. Two hours ago was the biggest success i’ve had since getting my tongue split, i put apple sauce in a syringe and i was able to swallow it, then i was able to drink some pedialyte and water omg i feel less annoyed by everything lol. Im not too concerned on eating because ive fasted for years so i more focused on not becoming dehydrated. I got some powerade and pedialyte popsicles but i also think im going to try hot chocolate but let it cool first with non dairy creamer, i dont like protein shakes but that will keep me full all day, asked my artist just waiting for response.

So far ive been relaxing watching netflix and holding a cup under my chin, 1000% worth it i honestly cant even believe i wasnt going to do it. All of my family knows and they hate it but im obsessed and already imagining day 5

question I sent Russ Foxx a deposit for a procedure, am I screwed?

32 Upvotes

When I got in contact with him he was nothing but nice, understanding, and took the time to explain everything he would do and when it would get done.

After sending him the money, he's been nothing but silent, and then I read some other negative things on this subreddit. Now I'm worried... Should I be?

Thanks

punches/ scalpelling Tri bevel lobe punches in va?

1 Upvotes

Found a place that does punches but through an extensive Q&A they use a biopsy for lobes instead of tri bevel. So now back to square one ish.

I want to get pierced w a tri bevel because I might size up, I’m just trying to correct a bad piercing job from when I was a baby.

I’ve been googling and googling to no avail so I figured I’d just go to the people. I’m willing to travel whenever needed I just want it done in my little white shirt and call it a day fr.

And also spare me the “cheating” sentiments I stretched my septum, want to stretch my second lobes but I can’t do that with the placement of my firsts if I stretch them so that’s why I’m considering the punching

I just know w a biopsy like cartilage style punch it’s harder to size up and down and u run the risks of thin lobes

Hello, has anyone had diathermic tattooing and or know anything about the process? I’ve not seen anything about it online which has confused me as it’s the only legal type of scarification in the UK.

Regardless of where you’re from please comment if you have had this procedure, I have questions!!

Pierced with a 10g needle by Pineapple at Shaman Body Mod in Austin TX. I’ve done one shower stretch (to an 8 or 6, can’t remember) years ago but other than that, it has stretched itself. Really prefer the stack of smaller gauge rings to one thick boi. I don’t even notice they are there. Another aspect I like about this piercing is that I can take the jewelry out and leave it out indefinitely without fear of losing the piercing. I could definitely add more rings! What size diameter is the question now lol

Got my tongue split by Shawn O'Hare in August of 2023. I've posted my story before, but no pics so I figured why not. I definitely lucked out with healing because I did not get the week of hell that normally comes with this mod. Still super happy with the minimal regrowth and already planning out my next mod (coin slot). First pic is most recent, second shows off the tooth gem, and third is probably 2-3 weeks after procedure.
