He should have it grafted onto the middle of his forehead if he really wants to be different.

[–]BlackbeltJones 5 points6 points ago

Taking things too far?

NOT - FAR - ENOUGH

I'm glad someone else is on the same page. A real man would graft it to his face.

[–]ATTENTION_EVERYBODY 5 points6 points ago

And then graft a dick where his nipple used to be?

I understand why he did it. Sometimes I also feel my nipples are holding me back in life.

I hope they preserved that nipple. I'd hate to see an early adopter miss out on the obviously approaching nipple grafting body mod.

NSFL? Really? Definitely NSFW but I really didn't think it was THAT bad. It was sick, but I've seen way worse.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Maybe its because I am rather fond of my nipples and would love to keep them where they are.

[–]wakingdeadexhibit 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I would too, believe me, but it's just a picture. And not very graphic either.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

bro, like, his nipple was OFF and his skin was stitched together and I'd say that's rather gruesome and nightmarish. however, I can see how that's the guy's point and I still think it's a good deal of mind fuckery, the smiles and dead eyes add to it.

[–]wakingdeadexhibit 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I'm not saying it's not completely fucked up (and stupid) but this isn't '3 guys 1 hammer' or anything.

Still NSFL. I don't check the subreddit that every front paged thing is on before clicking. Why is this front paged for me anyway?

Just one simple question.WHY?

[–]hiimian 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My friend was offered a nipple removal so that nothing would detract from his full chest piece.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So he subtracts from his actual chest!How bizarre!To each his own.

[–]hiimian 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, he never did it. In his defense though, he's got an awesome chest tattoo of a giant squid fighting a large pirate ship. Quite frankly, nipple's take away from the very blue ocean water surrounding them.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

WAIT one second! He wasn't born with blue nipple's? I am going to slap my avatar mother!

[–]hiimian 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I's sorry, but.. a friend is a friend. I can't simply judge him because he isn't blue all over.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Post pictures? Sounds interesting.

[–]hiimian 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I really dont know if he's going to be willing to send me a picture of his tits, as he's out to lunch. Also, kinda awkward to message someone and say, "Hey, internet wants to see your chest tats, bro! SEND IT!"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

[–]natophonic 0 points1 point ago

The tattoo artist should've incorporated the nipples as suckers on the giant squid's tentacles.

[–]hiimian 0 points1 point ago

He could have, yes, but it wouldnt of looked as good.

[–]MidnightTurdBurglar 12 points13 points ago*

Extreme body modders suffer from a mental illness known as body dysmorphic disorder. In a culture that prides itself on being an individual, this kind of mental illness can masquerade or be misinterpreted as "being an original".

[–]Mathochistic 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I call foul on that. Body dysmorphic disorder has a wide range of symptoms, but extreme body modification: piercing, tattooing, branding, and even removal of flesh are not part of the diagnostic criteria. Source.

If you have a problem with this sort of behavior, go ahead and own it. Attributing behavior that you disapprove of to a mental illness is juvenile and ignorant.

[–]MidnightTurdBurglar 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I never said I disapprove. That's a judgment call I never addressed. I am however clever and lucid enough to recognize abnormal psychology at work. Body dysmorphic disorder is the closet label but it may be some subtype or maybe even its own closely related disorder that deserves its own classification. Regardless, it's a disorder nonetheless. Also, among the body modders I have meet or watched interviewed, they often show classic symptoms of BDD, so I reject your notion that they do not fit the diagnostic criteria. I do however concede that there's the abnormal level of attention sought in body modders, which others have commented on. That is perhaps a key component.

[–]Mathochistic 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The component of extroversion makes a diagnosis of BDD incorrect. People with BDD believe that there is something hideous about their bodies and obsessively seek to correct it. In doing so, these people distance themselves from outside groups and hide their doings from as many people as possible.

People who modify their bodies, even to the extreme, are attention seekers. They want to be looked at. They want to interact with people from a position of being other. It is willful and proud, not secluded are self-hating.

If you're going to reject my sources and revert to experience and the watching of interviews, then here is my experience:

I have large cuttings, many tattoos, and used to have facial piercings. I never hated my body, thought something was wrong with it, or obsessed over my appearance. I was, however, an adrenaline junkie and liked seeing how far I could go. If you're looking for diagnostic criteria, Borderline Personality Disorder is a much better fit than BDD.

I apologize for the original implication that you were being overly judgmental. However, your claim that body modification of this sort is in any way related to BDD is incorrect.

Despite the fact that this is very weird to any outsider (myself included), we only have one life. To some people, this is how you get enjoyment out of life. Not that I know this guy, but he may suffer from dysmorphophobia, but whatever brings you happiness in life, do it. Don't let other's judgments hold you back.

[–][deleted] -5 points-4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No. Cutting off your own nipples is fucked up, and people like this guy shouldn't be encouraged by this "whatever makes you happy" bullshit.

[–]rivalthecreator 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So is cutting off your own foreskin to some people. It's all in the perception of the outsider. In reality, what purpose do males' nipples serve? Less of a purpose than foreskin to a degree.

Stop worrying about other policing/judging other peoples' lives and maybe yours will be more rewarding.

I don't "worry" about what other people do with their nipples, but I am entitled to an opinion on it, as are you. And from personal experience, I can tell you that most "body modders" have some serious mental issues.

what if one day you woke up and your nipples were completely gonelike no scars or anything, just flat skin and then once you leave your room you find out your dad died last night and then several days later, you find out that for your entire life your dad had been sneaking into your room while you slept and sucking on your chest to make two gigantic hickeys where your nipples should be because you were born without them not for any sexual reason, just so you would fit in
