Hi,
For university I am writing an article on body modification. I have always been interested in body mods and have piercings myself but I would love to hear from people who have undergone more extreme procedures. If anyone would be interested in answering a few questions it would be a great help!

What is your definition of "extreme"? Are you working with a research ethics board? What type of article (or paper?) is it? Will it be available to members of the forums once completed?

I hope this was ok for me to post in here apologies if not.
Basically by extreme I mean the procedures that are not as common as a nose piercing for example. So scarification, implants, tongue splitting etc.
I attend Leeds Beckett University and the article is for my end of year project. If anyone would like to be involved the ethics I am following are on the university website. I would only include information provided to me if I am granted permission and any quotes given to me can be withdrawn at any time.
If you would like the finished article to be available for the other members of the forum to see that will be allowed once my project has gone through marking.

I can contribute, too. I have a split tongue and a magnetic implant, which are the two most "extreme" mods I have, as far as what people I've known consider extreme.

From the advice given to me above I have created a survey for anyone willing to participate. There is an option to remain anonymous. All participants must fill out the attached interview consent form and email to h.welsh9894@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk. Interview consent form.doc (29 KB) I am also looking to gain some photographs of participants 'extreme' body modifications, if you would be willing to do this please send to the email above. You can withdraw your answers at any time. Responses will be included within my university project but nothing will be published without prior permission. Thanks again for all your help. Survey: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/V5F8K2Z

Thanks to everyone who has participated so far it's been so helpful! If you do fill out the survey please can you make sure to fill out the consent form (I've attached to this post) and email to h.welsh9894@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk Due to ethics I won't be able to use your answers unless the consent form is completed. Thanks again!
