" Hi! My name is Rick Wyckoff. You can check out our website at avatartat2.com. I’m here on behalf of expertvillage.com talking about body modification. More and more these days you’re seeing people with, on television shows and on the Internet with I guess what people will call it extreme body modification. Scarification and branding that’s taken to a level that some people will find shocking. The reasons for people exploring these rounds of body modification, part of it has to do with people out there taking it to the limits, seeing how far they can go with it or trying to outdo the next guy. But I think that part of it is people looking for a sublime experience or seeking out something, an extraordinary experience for themselves. Suspension and ritual scarification, etc., cuttings and all that kind of thing. Basically, exploring the realms of consciousness and where pain can take somebody to an elevated state of consciousness. Some people are taking that whole experiential thing and also making a functional end out of it. The tongue piercing was a popular, and still is a very popular piercing to get. It also has a sexual function. Most of the body piercing industry has its roots. I guess dungeon culture of San Francisco is where you first start to see it. In the gay community especially; the underground etc. is where most of the body piercings that you see now a days were kind of created in a sort of experimental environment. Now a days, it’s become mainstream but it has still those sexual overtones. Tongue splitting has become a more recent alternative to the people who have become disenchanted with the tongue piercing. My tongue is split. Both sides move independently. "
