And do you agree that this man is a good influence on his new daugter?

"Look at what daddy had done to himself!"

... next day in the E.R.

"I just wanted to be like you, Daddy."

Yeah. Real great.

In that aspect, I agree that he probably shouldnt have children, because they have been known to mimic their parents. :|

Especially when he tells her that he did it for her. If my dad did that i'd want his head to get checked. :lol:

Well, I'd go the other way. If he's going to have children, he needs to stop this stuff and realize his responsibility. As much as he wants to mutilate himself, he has to stop.

Just like if a woman slept around a lot, and then had a kid (not a difficult situation to imagine, heh), she'd have to change her ways in order to be responsible and set a good example for her daughter. It's one thing for the mother to be open with her daughter about sex when she's older, but having men in and out (of the house, you pervs) when she's just a small child is going to set a horrible example.

Just like if this guy wants to be open with his daughter about "visual modification" when she's older and can make her own decisions ... fine. I don't agree with it, but let her make her own decisions. But cutting yourself "for" her ... that's way too much. Especially when she's way too young to understand.

Ya I dunno what to say... It's a nice gesture I guess in some sort of way but there are better things to do for your daughter... you know maybe start up a trust fund or an RESP...

Usually my parents just gave me gifts and a cake, possibly a party.... I'd be a little disturbed if one of my paretns went out and got their skin cut off for my birthday...if you're gonna do that a tatoo would have worked alright.

How is doing something concidered rebelious being irresponsible? Given, that yes, I think that whole ripping skin off is a little too far, but doing things like getting piercings and tattoos and other stuff he has done isn't what I would concider irresponsible.
If he was a druggie alcoholic that neglected his family and was so completly immature that he was doing shit like this all the time just for the hell of it, then yeah, I'd concider his to be irresponsible. But to grow up with a figure in your life that taught you that conformity was not the only option, and that you can be a good person while being individualistic and challenging the boundries of the normal society would be very healthy. Its better then growing up in Stepford.

Maybe I'm just saying all this because I support people doing that are a little out of the ordinary if its for some other reason then "I felt like it" and I think this guy has thought it through. But I can't really compare it to my own experiences since my parents were nothing like them. All I know is that I have absolutely no reason to knock this guy. Other then the whole...bloody mess thing.

His body his choice. I'm just thinking it's a little weird that in celebration of your daughters birthday you do that. And without anesthetic OUCH!

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 10/17/2004, 7:35 am

It's not just "his body" anymore though. He has a young child. A young, impressionable child. What he did was dangerous. Weird, yes. Painful, yes. But above all else, it was dangerous. If a kid sees daddy with a tattoo, he'll draw one on with his crayolas. If a kid sees daddy with an earring, he'll clip a paperclip on there. If he sees daddy with scars intentionally put on his body by having comeone cut him and rip away his skin ... what the hell is the kid going to do to emulate that?

Eeek. Those pics were a bit icky to me, although I'm really fascinated by body modification type stuff. I'd never do any of it cuz I think it's all fucking crazy as hell (just getting my nose pierced was crazy enough for me), however, like I said I find it fascinating. That's why I can spend a lot of time at bmezine.com, very interesting/sometimes disturbing stuff.

I gave in and looked. It wasn't nearly as gross as you wusses made it out to be. :lol:

Okay, let me peel away your skin with no drugs, then see how gross it is.
