Firefox has decided to block videos from this site, and I need to unblock them to watch videos. Maybe that's your problem too?

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

What was done to me isn't fully reversible... why shouldn't I do something that is exactly the same? It is, after all, my body.

Besides, I've yet several mild-moderate surgeries that still need to happen. Doesn't matter that it may be considered odd by others: they're considered an improvement by me. And again... it is my body, and it's not like I'm sawing off my arm to attach a chainsaw in its place (though admittedly: still my prerogative).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I hate elf ears and submerged metal anywhere. I think it looks stupid, to say the very least. However, I do like tattoos on many people, as long as it's less than,maybe 25% of the body. I, myself have no body mods. If I were to do it, just like if I were to try to be full-on goth, I'd just look like a lonely fool who was trying too hard. But, YMMV.

Why does a thread about body modification go in the art section? Tongue

Why not? I can see it being a sort of art. Though art can be a broad term.

I guess... my being a theist believing in the inherent sanctity of all things natural, I don't personally care for it. I do see why someone would like it, though.

I'm a bit more wary of anyone doing something to my eyeball, so the idea of cornea tattoos is less appealing to me.

How about getting your iris MADE a different color? Cool idea, IMO. If I were very very rich, I'd see that it was done to my eyes (if it's not too damaging).

Absolutely not! Please don't ever do anything like that! I don't ever want anyone ending up like me especially not over something silly! Be careful! I know it's your body and you can do whatever you want but I wish you wouldn't consider anything so risky.
