[@michcamaro71]

Exactly. And also, is going this far simple interest in body modification, or does this guy have mental health issues…..

[@numblina]

The person doing a lot of his procedures is his girlfriend. He had very few modifications done prior to meeting her, mostly just a couple tattoos. Surprisingly enough, this isn't the Black *Alien's* Project. It is HER Black Alien Project.

[@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim]

@@numblina really!? wtf!

[@Nekrotikk]

When professionals refuse, or a procedure is illegal where they live, some people do their own procedures from botox to tongue splitting. Even if I don't understand every kind of body modification or plastic surgery procedure people want, I would much rather see people able to achieve the look they want by going to a trained professional than see them try to do something themselves and the procedure go wrong. Also, there is usually a lot of care in the body modification community. I'd been designing my full bodysuit from a very young age. My first tattoo session was on my 18th birthday and was the start of my backpiece. I began training to be a tattooist at the same time. My tattooist insisted that we work on my bodysuit in a particular order so that all the tattoos would initially be easy to hide with clothing if I needed to, and would look complete if I ended up deciding I didn't want any above my collar bone or below my wrists or ankles. This meant that my Trill spots (based on Dax from Star Trek DS9) were started shortly after I turned 18 but I was in my early 30s before I completed them by doing the feet, neck, and head sections. The result for me was increased confidence. I have gone to more social events and generally interacted with more people since finishing them (which is not always easy because I'm autistic). But I am forever greatful that my tattooist insisted we did my tattoos in the order we did because there is no going back or easily hiding tattoos above the collar bone or below the wrists and ankles. His insistance that I took time getting used to tattoos that I could hide if I wanted or needed to gave me the opportunity to see how tattoos are seen by different people and in different situations. That experience is one I discuss with many clients. Especially when I get people who don't have many/any tattoos who come to me thinking they want something on their face. I never say I won't do it, I just open the discussion for why so many people start with a lot of other tattoos before tattooing their face. There are also some tattoos I refuse to do. Certain very offensive designs I won't do at all. Some other designs I might only agree to do if the design is in an easy to hide place. For example, a friend really wanted an inverted pentagram. I told him I'd do it if he wanted it on his shoulder or somewhere he could show off at gigs but cover at work. He went to a tattooist who would do it on his neck. Every job he has had since getting that tattoo he has had problems covering it for work and it has caused problems when people at work have seen it. But he was in his 30s when he got that tattoo and I would hope that people in their 30s really know what they want to do. I also know that he asked at least 4 tattooists who had the same conversation about if he really wanted it on his neck before he found one who would do it. So I feel like there really is a lot of care in the body modification community. So I don't think any procedures should be illegal. Just all mods should be done by someone who knows how to do them so there are minimal risks, and there should always be those care conversations. So much harm comes from people doing their own mods or botox or whatever procedure they try to do because they can't get a professional to do it. Outlawing any procedure (or making it too expensive when it comes to things like botox - those horror videos always seem to be a warning to avoid random cheap DIY botox) seems to be more of a problem than people achieving the look they want with professionals performing the procedures.

[@numblina]

@@Nekrotikk There is a huge difference between administering botox or performing tattoo services, and straight up amputating healthy body parts without a medical license (or amputating healthy body parts when you've taken an oath to "Do No Harm".)

[@dancesmokesmile344]

I’m into body mods, but this is pretty extreme. Tattoos and piercings is something I started getting when I was 14 (at that time I needed a parents permission, my mom said it was ok as long as I didn’t complain about the pain after, I’m 28 now and never complained about it), but removing perfectly fine limbs and parts of a face just doesn’t seem completely right to me.

[@PerrySkyePhoenix]

@christinebuckingham8369 I think it's some kind of mental illness. I hope I don't sound judgemental. I'm not perfect either. I have lots of tattoos. I'm not proud of them. They're old and faded, and a large portion of one of my forearms is covered with a botched tattoo that has been partially lazered off. I have to wear long sleeves year 'round, and I live in a very warm humid climate. I've paid tattoo artists to permanently disfigure me. I liked most of them at first, but now, if I could magically erase them all and have a blank canvas I would.

[@haineko1989]

On one hand I'd agree, but then I look back at people telling me things like "don't cut your hair pixie style, cancer patients would give their all for having your hair" or "you're evil for having an abortion, so many infertile women would die for being able to give birth" and I immediately switch into "Good Alien!

You acknowledge that it’s “his body”, but then in the next sentence say he must have mental health issues. You can’t have it both ways. At the end of the day, respect that it is his body to do with as he pleases whether or not it’s harmful to his health….his body remember? As far as the mental health issues are concerned, that’s just disrespectful on your part. As long as he harms no one, it’s really no one’s business what drives him to modify his body. It’s not for any of us to judge another person for the way they look.

[@Psychx_]

@@72bslade Regardless of one's personal stance on the matter, the social and legal consensus in most developed countries is the same as with euthanasia, and a majority of doctors currently tends toward the hippocratic oath of "not doing harm" and 'preserving health and life' taking priority. Maybe this will change in the future, we'll see.

[@annataymond9529]

I’m gonna have to disagree on this one. It should not be legal for a doctor or whoever else to assist in self harm and mutilation. This isn’t the same thing as getting breast reduction or Botox. He’s having body parts with critical functions health wise completely removed. The only reason someone would do that just for aesthetic, is mental illness, which is something that should not be promoted or legal to exploit. I mean the guy wants to replace his actual skin. He needs psychiatric help. This isn’t self expression this is self harm.

I was bullied horrifically in middle school bc I wasn’t blonde, skinny, and good at sports (at least regular school sports. I AM an expert in several equestrian sports). I was a little overweight, had dark hair which was started becoming curly when I hit puberty, so the short hair cut I got at age 12 looked horrible as it grew out (I have GORGEOUS long curly hair now, whereas those blonde b*tches have to use curling irons and crap to achieve the look). Point being, I got to a point where I decided that I would go out of my way to dress and look as different and shocking as possible. Never did any extreme body mods, but I got a lot of piercings, which I think are beautiful. Also dyed streaks of unnatural color like burgundy into my hair BEFORE piercings and colored hair were a leftist thing.

I'm honestly surprised his implants are still intact, from personal witnessing, as this was a trend my teen years- all of my friends had to get them removed within 2 years, mainly from body rejection, but also some other complications over time.

Yes. He already got rid of two fingers and says he’ll get the other hand matching. Looks like pinky and ring fingers are gone on his left hand. Then his next big project is finding someone who will remove his LEGS - and replace with bionic ones… The skin with metal replacement was new to me, but I’m not surprised. He’s currently getting a lot of scarification on his face it looks like (ig pics). He also says it’s hard to get a job. This is where I say “duh” and know that means the government where he lives will eventually start paying his monthly expenses due to “modifications” of his own doing that’s left him incapable of doing certain things. 🙄😡

I watch Luxeria and Roly on YT - they've both discussed BAP numerous times. Neither of them are fully supportive of the changes he's made, stopping at when he had his ears fully removed, much less his nose, lips, and fingers. I genuinely think BAP has some type of body dysmorphia. Not only does he want to remove his skin to replace it with metal, he also wants to amputate both his legs and replace them with bionic ones. In Luxeria's words "what's he talking about?! We don't have that technology!" If that wasn't enough, another ick factor is that his girlfriend/fiance/wife/idk (pretty sure she does his tattoos & piercings) has said that she wants to make him her masterpiece. This is including the body part removal. The full quote from her just really *really* does not sit right with me at all. It kinda implies that she's the main force behind him getting all this done.

I really like Mr. Youn's content a whole lot, and I like him plenty too, but I can't ever agree to hearing anyone, especially doctors, comfort "my body my choice" mindset. Relativism has always been a bad thing that caused issues where there were none, and in this case such extreme mutilation of a human body is a clear sign that the person needs help, no matter what modern "standards" agree on being a disorder or else.

I know from people who've done it that the pointer is actually easiest to adapt to not having, so pointer on my non-dominant hand.

He did go ahead with the finger amputation, he's done a lot more to his face, and he's trying to find someone to mess with his feet.

I think this is based on an old vid. I believe he has done his hands. He also is super nice, according to a vid I saw about him on Vice. He seems like a seriously sweet guy. It's weird but I think no matter how we are, how good looking we might be, people now always seem to hate at least something about themselves physically. Like you look at Black Alien before he aliened, and that dude was smoking hot, so... like... why? What didn't he like about himself that he felt his true self was black alien? Like in some ways, I totally get it. I have lipedema, and I've had two uncomfortable surgeries to get fat off of me (lipedema is when your fat grows no matter what you do and is quite painful- for those who don't know) I've had people ask me why I am waiting for surgery #3 when recovery is hard and comes with scars, but for me, it's like someone is chipping me out of this fat suit that just keeps growing. My brachioplasty was really hard recovering from, and knowing I will have to do that again from ankle to groin is a pretty big mountain to prepare for. So yeah, I understand the feeling that you don't feel right in the body you have. At the same time, as I said, that man was gorgeous.... so what didn't he like about how he was? I guess I just find it hard when he looked so good, what still wasn't good enough in his mind?

You see, for me he was exactly the kind of dude I am not looking for in his before pictures, I like him better now. Not saying that his current look is what's perfect for me either, butif I have to choose I like the alien look more than a tan gym bro ;) Although what some people pointed out, these "working out too much" chads often have some depression/body dysmorphia, and he might do less if he's worked intensively with a therapist, but if he's being rather sensible about these (e.g. while he did remove several fingers he decided to not seek leg amputation cause it's too impairing and not worth it, even though he'd like to, and he's had few complications which means he's careful about who he's going to and caring for his body) and it fits his lifestyle (working in a tattoo shop, having a partner who like him as he is) then... Why not? I find it really hypocritical (not of you, of the humans in general) that it's much more accepted to bleach chemically or tan in UV your skin than tattoo it black with FDA approved paints, add hair extensions often with extensions sourced in inhumane, oppressive ways than shave own hair off (on the head, of course, while all the rest of the body should be hairless instead of having natural hair), putting huge implants in boobs, nose or butt more than a 3-4cm shape in your arm or scalp and so on... The hive mind was quite useful when we were still endangered by tigers or mammooths, now humans are the biggest cause of suffering for other humans. Not my favorite species by far.

[@DaftFader]

I can actually grip more with just my little and ring finger, as opposed to my index and middle. I try to grip with any finger lifted, the order of the most grip strength impacting for me follows my finger order. As soon as I remove either of the bottom two fingers, I loose a huge portion of my grip ability! The only time I have a half decent grip strength is if I don't use the little finger, but it's still considerably reduced, but not as much as every other finger (if just trying it with single fingers).

Hmmm Answering your question, if I absolutely had to remove one of my fingers, I’d choose ring finger. I’d definitely try to not part with my thumbs, index fingers and pinkies.
