To be honest, I’ve personally seen a whole lot more weird shit at any given location in the US than I have here. [/quote]
Like?? I am from LA and have seen weird stuff but, Japan has some of the weirdest/disturbing sub-cultures out there.[/quote]
Just one example. And yes, I’ve seen plenty of these pathetic cases personally. Known a couple, in fact.

Split tongue has nothing on getting a saline bag put in your forehead. Lol
A split tongue will heal its self pretty quick anyway.[/quote]
Not true. Tongue splitting, properly done, is a permanent modification. Surgery is required for reversal.

If you are uncertain about having this procedure, then you are advised NOT to have it. But what if you are certain you want it now, only to find out 5 or 10 years from now that you wish you hadn�??�?�¢??t done it? As it turns out, this procedure is reversible. Your surgeon can perform an operation in which he or she removes the healed mucosa on the inside of the fork and then suture the halves back together.
The saline bags are not bags at all. Just straight saline injections. They quickly deflate as the liquid disperses harmlessly into the body.
[i]Here’s how it goes down: technicians insert a needle into the forehead and inject about 400 cc of saline to create a forehead-sized blob. (One bagel-ee describes is as feeling like “something’s dripping down [his] head” and a “slight stinging sensation.”) The practitioner then places his or her thumb into the blob to create the indentation.
…
Luckily, the bagel-shaped injections aren’t permanent; the round protusion fades after about sixteen hours as your body absorbs the saline. [/i]

You’re talking to a dude who lives in the goth and shock scene. I’ve seen people split the tongues for all sorts of events and a few weeks later they’re fine.
They will heal on their own. No one with a forked tongue wants one forever. Just the odd occasion where it may fir with a theme.

Classic interwebz.
I post a link and quote from a board certified plastic surgeon who performs these procedures, you counter with street cred. I even added the parenthetical “properly done” because I knew this was next.
Okay, I’m sure that shittily performed hack surgeries tend not to “take” and in those cases the tongue does grow back together. Not sure how that makes it any less disturbing.
Have you watched a video of an actual tongue splitting procedure? Did you watch the huffpost vid in the link I posted? One is invasive surgery involving bisection of one of the most important muscles in the human body. The other is a bolus of saline under the skin. That’s it. I could perform the latter procedure on myself right now if I had an IV drip. I have all of the other necessary materials on-hand in my desk drawer beside me. I wouldn’t dream of saying the same thing about the former.

What?
No I didn’t even read your reply and for bored after the second sentence of your second reply. Lol
The truth is there are more ways to skin a cat…or split a tongue. I wont argue with you about this. I don’t care.
I can say that I’ve seen it done in a bathroom and you will say “no child only a doctor can do it and its forever”
Im not into long drawn out debates over shit that really doesn’t matter. I wont change your stance and you wont change mine.
