I just received my association newsletter today and in it was an article on body piercing and how mainstreamed it has become. Imagine my shock when I actually read about uvula piercings or split tongue or even mandible (jaw) piercing. I can't imagine mutilating myself for the sake of 'fashion' or whatever (my only piercings are my ears).
So what do you guys think about body piercing? Sexy or no?

over the phone, who explained how a Doctor Busino, an oral surgeon, performed the surgery using an argon laser. Dr. Busino is located in Albany, New York. I came very close to visiting the doctor myself to get it done, but decided against it. First of all, from the pictures I had seen, and the stories I had heard, it seemed that the laser method allowed the tongue to heal back together quite a bit. My life also became incredibly busy at the time, and I found myself constantly postponing the procedure. Eventually, I completely forgot. The next time I had the opportunity to visit [A href="http://www.stevehaworth.com/"]

in Phoenix, Arizona, I met 2 people that had their tongues split by Steve also using the fishing line method. The opportunity to view, firsthand, the end result, and being able to witness no speech distortion, I decided that one day soon, I too would have two tongues. [P align=justify]
