Body Modification: Interviewing an Expert

The tongue splitting is a type of body modification that involves dividing the tongue in two from the tip toward the base, in most cases this is achieved through traditional surgery (scalpel) or by laser surgery.

In some cases, prior to the bifurcation it is necessary to implement a wide piercing at the base of what will be the fork in the tongue; this facilitates the operation and the healing of the tongue.  It produces a different visual effect from the cut with a scalpel and from the one performed with the piercing.

Finally, one can say that surgery process is not strictly necessary, it is possible to get a fork of the tongue by a progressive enlargement of a tongue piercing, this process is however very tedious and painful.

Any questions you have about these matters, I suggest you get in touch with an expert in body modification, like Jonathan Martinez.
