I want my tounge split

[DancePuppets]

I know that my opinion here is part of the majority of responses in that I think it is a pretty bad idea, although I do agree with the point that it is your body to do with as you please and if you feel that having your tongue split will improve your life and (importantly) doesn't involve breaking any laws in your country of origin then it is your right to make that decision.

My views on the subject are mainly about aesthetics in that I think the human body is a pretty beautiful thing and dressing it up in different ways (temporarily) through new clothes, or jewellery in most cases serves to emphasise that natural beauty rather than change it more permanently. So the idea of committing yourself to a course of action that physically changes the human body I find slightly odd. If you think about it human beings have evolved to find other human beings attractive, hence the view of the majority of people towards those who decide to take body modification beyond merely "enhancing" already human features (such as larger breasts) and in many cases cosmetic surgery is designed to do is make someone look more "fertile", for want of a better word.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but, nearly all humans are programmed to look for a kind of beauty that says that the person is "healthy" and capable of providing healthy offspring, this occurs even when hiring for jobs where what you look like should have no bearing on the situation. Having your tongue split will subconsciously suggest to people that you may not be "healthy", despite all other indicators, and could affect your future employment prospects as well as romantic prospects, so I would advise care.

Alrighty well i have been looking at this for about 4 years now, just so i dont make a dissension that i will regret in life lol but I really want my tounge split. So i was wondering if anyone here has it done or knows of a person who does it PROFESSIONALLY...not just some guy in his basement

I would severely recommended AGAINST this. Even if it's done properly, you can NEVER get it undone, there's a high chance of them messing up and you losing ALL sense of taste for the rest of your life, and an even higher chance of severe infection. Trust me, you do NOT want an infected tongue. My ex had that done, and she had to have her tongue drained of puss three times a week. It's not pretty, and it's not fun. It hurts like hell, and you WILL regret it if it gets infected. Just go with something simple, like a tattoo, or piercing. Please, for your own personal health, don't do it.

Do it if you want I say: Go for it comrade! than I asked the escapist everbody said I was stupid than I wanted to make a mohawk and that I would look horrible but I still did it and it fits perfectly and I love it so mabey you'll have the same luck but still... hair grows the thounge don't.

Let me get this straight. You want to split your tongue to look more like a reptilian/snake tongue? Well my friend... I suggest you reconsider. Be happy with what you got.

Well, if you don't want to make it really awkward to get a job or a girlfriend who is actually intelligent and fashionable, or if you want to have a normal life without people avoiding you in the street or refusing to talk to you because of the tongue, then don't do it.

If you do want to fuck up your life, then go for it .

From what I've seen in that video someone posted a while back, you'll be maintaining excellent control of your tongue. To me it looked like two alien baby tentacles waving around and clapping, which I found pretty funny.

Not pretty though. Certainly not pretty.

If you want to be able to clap the two sides of your tongue together or shape it into some kind of kissing turbine then go ahead, I won't stop you. You have thought about this for a while, although in a point of your life where your mind is still very impressionable. And I should know, because I'm about the same age, and have also had some pretty extreme ideas.

I don't know what kind of person you are, or what you want to do. Are you an artistic type? If so I can imagine what got this idea into your head, a lot of artists live an eccentric lifestyle. Though I doubt that you'll get any kind of social standing you'd be content with outside of an eccentric community.

That also goes for your romantic life from that moment forward just so you know. I wouldn't dismiss anyone just because they had their tongue split, but I can imagine they wouldn't be at the top of my list of people I'd like to hang out with or get into a committed relationship with.

Then again I've seen people do worse things to themselves. Some people get their toes shortened or their legs lengthened, change their faces into their favourite celebrity's I don't know, there's so much cosmetic surgery going on which makes a lot of people not even look like decent human beings anymore. Those people do it to make themselves happy, and if you think this will make you happier than you are now, just do it.
I said before you thought about this kind of thing at a turbulent age, but I'm fairly certain you had plenty of time and knowledge to go over all the cons, and if they don't weigh up to the pros then you know what you want to do.

Just make sure you can still do the things you want to do in life after you do it, because it'll be everything but mainstream from then on.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Thats pretty damn wierd man. I can see no reason why you would ever want that done.

 

[Ekonk]

Why? It's impractical and there's the off chance that it get's infected. Also it will hurt like hell at first.

 

[Chaos Marine]

If you do do it, prepare to learn how to speak from scratch.

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

Yuk.
You know you can't glue it back, right? Once you're fourty or fifty years old you'll regret it. Besides, I don't think girls would like it.
If you want attention, buy a hat with miniature flamingos on springs.

 

[Mr.White]

Didn't some guy do something like this a while back?
I remember seeing it in the newpaper, he wanted to look like a demon or something.
Ultimately, its your decision, i hope you realise that there will be consequences (like never getting a serious job or moving on in your career).

And people won't notice unless you stick your tongue out? a lot more people use lip reading if they have rubbish hearing (like me) so it could be more noticeable than you think.

Also the fact that you have been thinking about it for 4 years means you have probably been thinking "it would look cool IMO, but it may make me look pants on head retarded, so i'll think about it for a bit longer", so if you are still unsure after 4 years, you probably shouldn't do it.

If you do it though, please post a picture for my amusement.

 

[GiglameshSoulEater]

It looks retarded and self multiplating is not always best for job oppurtunities.
By all means, go ahead. The human race isnt quite stupid enough yet.

I know! Why don't you lobotomise yourself as well, I heard it's cool... :/

 

[BGH122]

I say go for it, I did it and I haven't looked back. It makes talking harder, but as long as you just stay posting on forums you'll be fine.

I also got my balls stapled to my inner thigh, not professional or anything because I was trying to save a bit of cash. It makes moving harder, but I really like the edgy look it gives me when I show it to the ladies.

I also got my eyelids pinned shut with a rusty paperclip. The tetanus was annoying for a bit but once the lockjaw and muscle spasms set in it made me look like a right nutjob, which is my niche.

I also got all the toes on both feet fastened together with a giant rebar. I had to give up my career as a cab driver because I kept hitting all the pedals when I put my foot down, but I crashed and killed a load of people and that's juggalotastic.

I also got my rectum prolapsed and sewn into my belly button. It makes sitting down really hard and the gangrene is *****, but it looks like I've got a smelly snake on my body.

 

[Duskwaith]

Well when your 50 it might be abit of a problem. Like tattoos, they dont look as sexy when your skin is saggy as hell

Dude you're 21 what the hellz is you gonna do with a split toungue can you imagine yourself in 40 years you're a 61 year old grandpa and you have a snake toungue.

You probably don't want my oppinion considering that you've thought about this for 4 years, but if you do want it here it comes: Don't do it!

I... *sniff*... I love you.

And for using that image I too love you. The stern expression makes me laugh everytime. I'm not even going to remove it from the quote tags.

Why are stretched lobes acceptable and this isn't? It will have a HUGE affect on your life. If you're willing to deal with that, go for it.
