In a relatively short time, body modification seems to have not only grown, in terms of pushing boundaries but also in terms of mainstream attention, at least, that has been my observation.  I can’t imagine some of the more extreme body modifications being covered in mainstream media (other than a purely negative piece) when I first discovered BME (however many years ago that was, shh, not telling).

Gelding sent me a link to an interview he did with Gawker.  The interview itself is very professional and positive (I can’t speak for the comments).  It’s refreshing to see this sort of extreme modification getting positive coverage from a more mainstream outlet.

We’ve been checking in with nonippleboy for a while now in his attempts to remove the tip of his nipple.  The last time we saw him his nipples had healed from the removal, but the new tissue was growing in much lighter than the rest of his nipple.

So here we are a month later, and as you can see below he has finally reached his goal.

You can go back and see the rest of the his transformation in the nipple nullification and nipple modification galleries.

Back in December, one of the Guess What posts featured a type of nipple nullification that is a little different than what we’re used to seeing.  Nonippleboy is in the process of doing a DIY nipple removal, and in the first stage he removed just the tip.  Well it’s been a few months, so lets check back in and see how things are coming along.  But before that, here’s what his nipple looked like back in December.

A couple of days later a scab formed, which left the nipple looking like this.

And finally here’s how his chest looks today.

Now Nonippleboy’s goal is to have his areolas remain intact, but be completely smooth.  His right nipple was removed by tying off the tip with elastics and then cutting off the excess.  His left nipple was done by cutting off the skin, which is why the area is a little larger.  He hopes that the scar tissue will eventually darken, leaving him with a smooth chest.

You can see more of his progress in the nipple nullification gallery.

When it comes to nipple removal, the question always arises, “What will it look like healed?”  Well, thanks to this newest submission to the nipple nullification gallery you can.

They still may lighten up over time as they’ve only healed for a year at the time this photo was taken.
