Non-tech body mods
Hello all,
I was hoping we could start a discussion on non-tech mods that folks have done or have planned. Theoretically, this thread will encourage discussion and share info/resources.
A major hurdle i have come across is a part from a handful of big name body mod artists, there is next to no information out there on body mod artists. Its all clickbait articles and listicles of botched mods.
I myself have been lusting after the ear pointing procedure since I was a little girl. holy crap, do I need it. The really frustrating part is that the folks who are /really/ well known either never respond to an email, never come to the states, or do less "drastic" ear pointing. Which makes it really difficult to make headway on this endeavor. I was really excited at the prospect of having Steve Haworth do it, until he emailed me his portfolio and I saw that he only does mild reshaping. He casually mentioned I might have better luck speaking to someone who apprenticed under him... and then disappeared into the void of the internet, to never again respond to an email.
So, what body mods are you folks going after? Any luck getting them, or are you stuck on a hurdle?

Thanks for the link to his tumbler!
Fair enough I appreciate you voicing that. I figured that the "everything else" category would be an okay place to open up discussion but if this type of thread doesnt belong here I am okay with a mod deleting the thread.
I was thinking that there may be a bit of overlap between the aesthetic BM and tech BM scene, in a certain sense they build off of each other. I wasnt trying to piss in your cornflakes buddy. My B
There's a guy on Instagram called Bsliceddotcom, who does a whole bunch of different body modifications - scarification, implants, ear pointing and shaping, and I recall he even removed the nipples of a customer.
Unfortunately he is here in Australia, so probably not much help to you.
Now I'm interested in coming up with other super low-cost, low-tech mods to make body hacking and lifestyle changes more accessible. I love browsing the accessibility and/or tools categories of 3D printing repositories bc I always find cool disability related stuff that would normally be pretty expensive, but is very affordable to 3D print. Like "official" wheelchair accessories can be in the $100s. You can get Walgreens and the like generic stuff and maybe you only pay $20-50. Or! If there's a maker space in your city, 3D print somebody's free design for <$10!!
