i finally got my sister to pick up my late birthday present, it’s my very first unicycle! i’ve wanted one for ages but never been able to try, sister went to a circus shop i told her about and she ordered me a 20" Bell Caroll. i think the seat needs to go up a bit, but tomoro i’m going to test it out in somewhere bigger than the kitchen, and see how it goes.
a little bit about me - i’m 21, training to be a vet nurse (fingers crossed), therefore obviously an animal lover, have a kitty and 3 ratties, also ride a lowrider bike with no brakes, and a motorscooter (no licence yet tho). into digital photography, local music, body modification, and veganism/vegetarianism. basically a hippy in disguise.
i don’t know anyone else in my city who rides a unicycle, but there probably are some people in small circus groups around the place. i’m just excited about going down to the shops on it, and being able to fit it on trains easier.
What’s body modification? Like replacing your arm with an electronic one? http://iarm.de./movie_high.html
Personally, I always wanted steel nails to replace screwdrivers. And lasers for eyes.
haha…that makes me laugh…
i used to have that same spot pierced(i went through a “phase”) and its just through the extra skin…unless janey_moo is crazy…
yeah, they got out a power drill in the piercing studio and drilled thru my skull!!!
not.
i think i get that question at least once a day. sigh! no it just sits under the skin.
by body modification i mean - 12 piercings, 3 tattoos, 1 scarification, 4 brands, so far. i have plans for implants, tongue split, and plenty more ink. my body is my canvas and i’ll do whatever i want with it. i’ve also done 2 flesh pulls, and plan for my first suspension in the coming weeks. it’s not at all a ‘phase’ for me, it’s a big part of my life.
anyone with narrowminded questions like “how will you get a job” or “what will you think when you’re 80”, please feel free to jump off a cliff

now i’m going to try this unicycle thing again, in the daylight, with shoes on. if i can find a pump, cos the wheel is super flat
what is scarifacation? is it like a cut that is shaped like somthing that you help to scar so it stays longer? How does a brand feel? that seems very painfull! Can you get them in different colors? or is it a brownish color?
this is from my second flesh pull which was at my 21st birthday party, it was a zombie cocktail party, so all the blood is fake blood. the ropes (rainbow shoelaces!) are around a pole that holds up the patio in the backyard. i’m on the right and my friend tara is on the left. you lean forward so you’re standing on an angle and let your weight do the work.
healed skin removal scarification. cut with a scalpel and then sections of skin removed. done by the AWESOME wayde dunn from queensland.
healed a few months later. now it’s faded to a pale pink, soon it will be white. you could put ash or ink in it i guess, but i just wanted it as a scar. it’s not as detailed as a tattoo, but if i wanted it detailed i’d get a tattoo, simple as that.
they all hurt. but that’s just a part of it. the adrenalin rush from a pull is amaaaaazing.
how do you go about getting a brand? and how does burned flesh smell?
In scarafacation, do you do anything special to keep the cut clean or improve the ammount of time that you have your scar? it seems like it would go away after a year or so…
what does that look like afterwards?
