Lips: the New Windows to the Soul
People have piercing their labrets and wearing lip discs for centuries, but now you can finally show the world what your gums look like. You get extra cool guy points if you get a gum tattoo.

South Florida Man Removes His Genitals
So of course this happened in Florida, but a guy who goes by the name of "Gelding" has gone through a lengthy process of having his genitals removed. Starting in 1994 he was castrated, and in 2011 he completely removed his external Instruments.

Man Sets Record for "Flesh Tunnels"
Twenty-two-year-old Joel Miggler has holes all over his face, but if you ask him (and Guinness!), they're called flesh tunnels and he's psyched about them. The largest holes are 34mm in diameter, and he's insisted that he'll be bumping up the size ASAP. If anyone has footage of this guy trying to eat mashed potatoes, we want to see it.

Russian Guy Turns Himself into a PlatypusJenya Bolotov, a completely normal person from Russia, spent seven years stretching out his lips to look more like a platypus. Although he says that his real spirit animal is a bird. Oh, and ladies, he's single.

Achilles Piercing... Because Why Not?
Some time in the '90s, Mr. Tetanus, a performance artist (duh), began wearing a self-made 10mm spike through his ankle, behind the Achilles tendon. According to the artist, he doesn't remove the piercing because the hole closes up in about a minute.

Hackers Are Embedding Microchips in Their Bodies
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Fringe members of the tech world are fusing themselves with their first love. Thanks to innovative body modification techniques, biohackers have begun to have microchips installed in their bodies that can send data to smart phones and other devices, as well as open special doors.

Facial Scarification: Not Just for Indigenous Tribes Anymore
Scarification has been around since before the western world tried to colonize everyone, but it still looks weird when you see it in modern times. Especially when it's on some dude's face. If this doesn't change the way you see pizza forever, then you're fooling yourself.

Tattoos on Tattoos on Tattoos
Lucky Diamond Rich is a guy who has so many tattoos (his entire body is covered) that he decided to tattoo more tattoos on to those tattoos.

For now (and probably ever) he holds the Guinness Book of World Records title for Most Tattooed Man.

The Real Life Ken Doll
Justin Jedlica is a guy that looks like a Ken doll, sort of? He's admitted that he spent $100,000 on body sculpting procedures including five rhinoplasties, a cranial brow bone shape, and augmentations to his cheeks, lips, buttocks, and chin. Somehow he's still creepier than the Vampire Woman. Also, fun fact, he and the human Barbie totally hate each other.

Henry Damon, a Venezuelan fan of fictional Nazis, has undergone a crazy amount of body modification to make himself look like the Captain America villain, Red Skull.

Real talk: He certainly looks like a comic book villain, but he doesn't really resemble Red Skull. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Do you want six-pack abs but don't want to do all the boring work that it takes to get them? Why not have a doctor perform "precision etching" on your stomach to give you the appearance of abs, without any of the actual muscles?

Oddly enough, the city he's having trouble finding an apartment in is Los Angeles, a town that seems like it would be used torenting places to weird-looking dudes. Supposedly Boykin adds a new tattoo every day, and says that,"Without feeling the needle feels like I'm losing my purpose in life.

Papua New Guinea is a place full of curious tribal customs, but the most painful custom is that of crocodile scarification.

A body modification that really took off after the Lord of the Rings films was having your ears shaved into points at the top to give the impression that you're a creature of the elven variety. Out of all the extreme body modifications on this list, elf ears might be the one that's the creepiest.

Sudanese Body Scarification
The scars carved across the faces and bodies of Ethiopian and Sudanese tribe members are some ofthe most painful types of scarification known to man. Many of the markings are etched onto the tribe's members bodies at a young age, and they're done so without any anesthetic. If the receiver shows any signs of pain, they'll be seen as weak. Many of the women of the tribe see the scars as an ability to cope with pain and a sign that they will be able to cope with childbirth in future.

Magnetic Finger Implants (How Do They Work?)
For people who are interested in sensory augmentation, magnetic finger implants make total sense. Pun intended? The piercings supposedly give the wearer the ability to sense electromagnetic shifts around them, and they can pick up small pieces of metal with their fingers.

Everybody agrees that Trump is a controversial figure, to say the least. So, there is some people in the US, who believe he can bring some awful things to the country, all the way to the end of the world. That’s why Gary Lynch’s business in Murchison, Texas is literally booming. He’s building underground bunkers for those in fear of “Trumpocalypse” or “Trumpnado”, prices of which range from simplistic $10 thousand to luxury $8,3 million. Maybe, they're really worth it?

Thoniameek:
Wait wait wait is there nothing African to talk about in history? Is there nothing black to take photos of or reminisce over?

We've been so brainwashed that the only knowledge considered knowledgeable is the White knowledge

The only history worth talking about is the white history

The only history for black people is slavery

It's a crime if I don't know where an American state is in the map, I'm considered not brilliant enough

Those same people might not be able to tell where their local government is in their country's map...

I'm fed up!
