Sometimes I look at his photos and can't help but read his expression as like he's just in pain and misery trapped in a mutilated body. Sometimes he looks at the camera and seems just sad and in pain with his expression. Maybe I'm totally wrong though.
I've been following Black Alien Project for a while, but there's a lot of interesting information here that I hadn't heard before. As for the leg amputation, I seem to recall having seen his plans for his legs, but I don't think they were quite as interesting as the idea that you guys talked about. On the subject of people amputating their legs for reasons other than necessity, I have read of people amputating their own legs as far back as the late 90s. This has been connected to Body Integrity Identity Disorder and the people said that they needed to perform the ampuations in order to feel complete. The first reported cases of this were in the 70s.
I recall hearing a story of a man who lived a good portion of his life with both legs but his whole life he had said it always felt like one of them shouldn't be there. After asking doctors and plastic surgeons they refused as his legs were both healthy. He took matters into his own hands with liquid nitrogen. I'm sure you can put the rest together lol
That’s what happens a lot of the time with stuff like this, doctors refuse by the desire doesn’t just go away, and whatever we want bad enough we’ll find a way come hell or high water lol
It's a very rare condition called BIID or Body Integrity Identity disorder. People who have this have the desire for the removal of one of their limbs. Interestingly enough, sometimes the desire to remove limbs can "move" to other limbs like if the right arm is removed then they'll want the left leg removed.
@@gabago0l saw an interesting documentary about this BIID issue, a guy always wanted his leg off, so he did it with a shotgun, above knee amputation - he was when interviewed, some years later, apparently delighted with his new look and prophetic leg.
This dude is all in, no matter if you find it aesthetically pleasing or not you gotta respect that commitment. I don’t get the amount of hate people throw at strangers who modify themselfes. It’s beyond me how you can be uppset for what other people choose to do with their own body.
You and I both honestly, even if it’s not for me personally I admire the heart and the desire, can’t help but, and he’s a great guy too from what I’ve seen. All the power to him
@@EphemeralRemy I have only seen his interview with Rene ZZ but he seems like a humble and down to earth guy which is pretty fucking rare these days. All the best to him on his jurney . Our paths to enlightenment and happiness are all different.
@@EphemeralRemy it's a great watch and I think one of my favorite segments is on bodybuilding in how that is body modification which I had never considered before seeing it. It's a bummer it's not available many places. it was on Netflix streaming back in 2010!
I’ve watched it many many times throughout the years haha, it still holds up, and body building is definitely a body mod, it’s been that for me. In general weight loss/ change is, and I actually believe my weight loss to be my biggest body mod of all, whether most other people see it that way or not
Personally I do think people should be able to do what they wish with their body, even if it includes a voluntary amputation. But obviously that's really extreme. There is a condition called BIID (body integrity identity disorder) that causes people's "body map" in their brain to not recognize certain body parts, causing people to desire to amputate limbs. I wonder if this is part of his desire. This is probably not the context for a complex discussion or speculation about that (it's a body mod podcast not a psychology conference lol) but it does make me wonder.
I just discovered this whole Black Alien Project the other night. I know this video is old, but wanted to give my two cents. Coming from someone who has never even had a tattoo, I couldn't give a $hit less if someone does this. It's something I wouldn't do to myself, but my hats off to him--and others--for doing his own thing. Is it extreme? Of course. But it's not hurting anyone, and the body is just a shell. The clip I first saw of him the other night, he was walking around his hometown with a guy, and some religious lady basically insinuated he'd go to Hell for ruining his body like that. What I find amazing about people who are obsessed with the Bible, is how hypocritical they are, and tend to cherry pick what works for them, and conveniently dodge what they don't like. If the body is a temple, then why is that same person fat? Why are YOU mistreating your body? I could provide a million examples of how people mistreat their body, yet they'll judge him, simply because his choices are extreme to them. Anyway, I find it fascinating, and what would life be with everyone looking the same. BORING!
I wonder if this guy views himself as riding along with the body as in a second person or if he is a part of it. The psychology of the thing is very interesting.
I know that this project is something I will never understand. It doesn't mean I dont think he should be able to do whatever he wants with his body but I think it's clear his project is designed to push boundaries in so many ways. Boundaries of what is possible to do with the human body, the line between body modification and self harm, and something I havent really seen talked about explicitly- the uncomfortable area of intentionally disabling yourself. I just came from your first video on him and a thought I kept having was that there are people in the world that look like him but those people are usually burn victims. They are people who have been mutilated or disfigured against their own will. Is doing it for aesthetic reasons disrespectful or is it in a way respectful because it's something many people would feel shame for while he is uplifting this aesthetic? But then again is the branding as "alien" dehumanizing and othering to those who don't have a choice in looking this way? The amputations even further this as he is literally physically disabling himself. Then again does other peoples experiences and appearances even matter in comparison to what hes doing? I dont know if I can truly answer these questions but I'd love to hear input from disabled people about this project.
It’s the same reason you can’t just drive however you want and crash. Because everyone else has to clean up the mess. When all that shit gets infected and he’s in the hospital he has to be taken care of. Honestly poor guy just wants to commit suicide and he’s taking the long way.
Hi, your comment was so interesting. I agree on everything you said, on every question you brought up. Being disabled now (yeah I know my profile picture doesn't show it - it was taken 7 years ago), it is hard to see people mutilating themselves and making themselves disabled on purpose. But somehow it is just as hard watching him do that to himself as it is seeing people smoke, knowing they have high chance of developing fibrosis because of it. It can feel disrespectful, as I wish I would have been able to choose.. That being said, I don't think I represent the disabled community so my opinions might be off. And I also don't think we should prohibit these kinds of projects. I do believe that everyone should be free to do what they want of their body. But as you said..if it is a way of doing self-harm, should it be promoted? Should it be regulated by the approval of psychiatrists? Is it a good thing that he calls himself an alien? Wouldn't people who survived accidents/suffering from birth defects feel dehumanised? The subject is so interesting and I wouldn't know what to conclude. I'd love to know more people's opinions on it, i wouldn't be able to make my own as I think it is a subject that requires to be talked about with great nuance
I always figured Tim Commerford was the first dude most people saw with blackout tatts, even though they were just the upper arm/shoulder and chest a bit - I clearly remember thinking how wild it was that he just went totally black and that was back in the 90's
Awesome video as always! I’m not sure how to feel about the leg amputation idea. With the black alien project I’m basically just along for the ride at this point lol. But I was a little bit jarred by the branding on the head. It seems so…unaesthetic? I’ve gotten that vibe about one or two other mods he’s had done, but in the end they always made sense. But I don’t know about this one.
Yea for me the branding was a bit of a “buying your own hype” moment, maybe it wasn’t but that’s how I read it, it cheapens the project, but I don’t think in a monumental way, I think I would wake up the next day in a similar mind space of having slept with a woman I wouldn’t have otherwise if not intoxicated “ahh sh1t why did I have so many drinks” it was a chaotic semi nonsensical step for his overall project that seemed a bit spur of the moment for my taste. Still got love for the guy though! Thanks for watching
A close friend of mine went from a PA to Meatotomy in the early 2000's, Sadly he took life very shortly after. I cant say for sure if there was a connection but I've wondered for years. RIP old friend
I love body modification im 6 days in splitting my tongue using binding method , I'd love vampire fangs and pointed ears but this is super extreme , but its his body if he's healthy and happy then fk what others think , loads of people have boob an butt implants , botox, lip fillers an toast themselves for hours on sunbeds yet this is total acceptable 🤔
That scarification though. I can't get over it. Lots of the other stuff I am truly fascinated about, and the pain he must endure must be something similar to the disease I am fighting, so he is somewhat an inspiration to get through the pain. But I have enough scars, no need for more. I stick to piercings and tattoos. And I am planning some blackoutwork now inspired by you @remy. It is so beautiful to watch the changes and how it all comes together.
@@EphemeralRemy oh lots!! You showed me that I can stretch other parts of my ears then the lobes,and introduced me (kind of) to blackout tattooing. (I was following the brutal black project before I found you).. But all your work is so inspiring, though I will never get a full bodysuit due to my illness I can at least black out some of my body and reshape some of my tattoos, you guys showed me that.
I would say Black Alien has no real direction . His last mods seem more like someone suggested something off the wall and he said, what the heck , I’ll NEVER be normal again anyways . Taking the human body to its limits, or till he is on the table and doesn’t wake up .
There are online communities centered around people that desire voluntary amputation. And yes, people have gotten entire limbs removed. Sometimes they just don’t identify with various body parts- meaning their brain cant register that its a part of their actual body. Sometimes its fetish based where they want to be incapacitated to whatever degree and there are then counterparts to that of people who want voluntary amputees to be dependent on them. Then there are the people who want someone to eat a part of their body, and people who will do the eating. All kinds of stuff. I haven’t really seen it approached from a body mod aspect though it may be related to the dysphoria type experience some seem to go through. I do know that often people do not go to doctors to have these things done. They would just be denied in a regular medical setting. They get creative finding other providers or harming themselves in ways that then demand amputation. People are diverse and strange.
That’s the thing, the medical industry has sort of dropped the ball/ failed in a big way in many countries if you ask me. The people who want to do this stuff bad enough will always find a way, and when doctors won’t even perform simple surgeries like tongue splitting on principle alone, it forces people seeking procedures to go to people who sometimes aren’t capable. In black aliens case however his surgeon does seem gifted, and I trust that they’ll do whatever else he has planned the safest best way they can.
@@EphemeralRemy Oh definitely. And I don’t see how any if it is much different than plastic surgery. Especially given all the health complications that can come from very common cosmetic procedures. I guess they just don’t want the image. He seems to have found a good person to work with but I hope there is a way that plastic surgeons can get involved in the more “taboo” body mods in the future.
I’ve already done a video on ReneZZ and he has done several with me too. Renezz and I have been friends for years and I have a ton of respect for him as a human
I don't get why these people are wearing human style clothing. They will do all of that modification and have the audacity to not even walk around in a Xenu suit or something.
i can tell you guys that most men that have had the procedure gently hold behind the head of p...s with middle and pointer finger or jack style and aim. everything else still very capable of normal function when said procedure is fully successful.
"Simpsons did it"!!!!! And Darth maul ( from star wars not the internet guy) also had his bottom half removed and replaced by mechanical spider leg thing's... Lol!!!
I thought he was going with the mechanical leg idea, if he did both legs he could get the prosthetics that they use for running fast, those C shape springy ones that would look cool af 😂👍
It’s so hard for me to have a clear opinion. On one hand, people should be able to do whatever they want with their own body. On the other hand, would we would have the same view about someone killing themself or self harm type cutting? I know it’s not exactly the same, but it’s potentially on the same spectrum. I think I have a bit more of a reservation about it for him specifically because of the vibe he gives me. I’m in the mental health field and there’s something about him in the videos he posts that makes my little therapist hairs go up. It’s not even his look per se, it just the energy his behavior gives off that makes me feel like there’s something under the surface. Of course I could be totally wrong. Like you said, he’s the only one who knows what’s truly going on with him. If he’s going to start doing bigger and bigger mods, I really hope he uses someone who is a real surgeon and prioritizes safety. Also, I totally agree with you about the addiction to cosmetic surgery. Just because it’s not “scary” looking doesn’t mean that plastic surgery is any less of a body mod.
It’s tough because medical professionals refuse these surgeries, so often people seeking them are forced to find less qualified individuals that are willing to do these procedures. That being said I also don’t know what the criteria would be to qualify for this sort of modification even if doctors were on board with doing it, how do you prove your sane and want to remove your legs at the same time to a degree that would make sense to anyone else? It’s a tough grey area for sure. As far as humans taking their own lives that’s a huge grey area too i think, some countries do have assisted suicide already, my father took his own life, and the way he did it was much more grisly than it should have been in my view, especially considering he was sort of trying to die for his whole life, you could say his death was his life’s work.
Some of his mods I like, some I don't like. Yesss to the idea of spider legs from the person behind the camera 🤩 I wonder if the silicone implants help keeping the dermals in place 🤔
Hey remy! Im loving what you're doing, i cant stop watching your videos since i discovered you had a youtube channel. I have a question, what should i do if i really like a tattoo artist work but there is no way i can get an appointment with them? For example, i live in Argentina and this guy is from Denver, and there is no possible way i can buy a plane ticket, rent a room on the US for who knows how many days, pay UD prices, etc. I hate the idea of copying a design or art style, what should i do? Again, loving what you're doing, have a nice one :)
Reminds of an old bmz thread where a dude had used dry ice to freeze his leg dead after the docs said no. He went back and forced their hand for amputation.
People I know who have removed their legs without it being a necessity technically, are the people who have body dysmorphia and feel as though they shouldn't have a leg there and they were supposed to be an amputee. But that's debatable because they feel like it's a necessity to make them happy so even though it might not be medically necessary it's necessary to them to feel comfortable in their own body. I have no judgment when it comes to people modifying their body to make them feel happy and comfortable in their own skin. I will see that most of these people cannot find anyone to actually do this procedure for them. Most of them have to kill their appendage to the point where there's no return in order for medical professionals to remove the body parts like sticking it in ice until they basically freeze the body part to the point of death or other types of destruction on the offending limb. So I'm not sure who will do this procedure and my fear is he won't be able to get it done professionally.
4:26 when I had my leg amputated, I had the same feeling. I am glad I am able to have a unique human experience, although it would be nice to have two legs.
That guy on jerry springer in the late 90’s took a skill saw and cut off his legs, and he even went as far as injecting. Dirty water to try and get an infection so the doctors would cut off the other leg. Had like 3 episodes on him and another dude
Hey Remy, years ago on cable I saw a doctor that had his healthy leg removed. He consulted w/ psych drs and friends that were doctors and they took it off. He was in his right mind just wanted that leg chopped off. It was on tlc or something. Keep The vids coming Remy!!!
@@justinthymes5680 theres definitely some boundaries being pushed as far as Form vs. Function going on. But aesthetics aside, I think domestic addiction as mentioned in the vid is 100% accurate. Which we all fall on at some point of the scale. Which is ultimately driven by culture and biology. Like.if hes going for full send post human art piece I get it. But like my patience is tested with like the those so called "trans-disabled" folks, who disable themselves for seemingly pathological attention. This seems to be really blurring that line.
It's fascinating to see people's reaction to this kind of "extreme" projects. They just can't seems to understand how it has nothing to do with them and why their commentary on it is completely irrelevant. At best you get a "that's their thing man" followed by some clearly disgusted reactions. Being trans and having to talk to people about surgeries and the why and how of it all has left me convinced that there's just a large chunk of the population who's outright disgusted by anything that changes/modify the human body, regardless of it's reconstructive or esthetic. It's not like bod mods but I often get the same disgust from people. That's why I like those vids, it's a more nuanced take and while there's still criticism, it's thoughtful criticism, not just gut reaction like most would have. Good stuff!
It might be a little bit of a odd question but when you blacked out all of work did you know right away how much blackout you wanted? I currently have most of my chest and a start on my right arm and I've already been thinking about my left arm and neck.
Originally I just blacked out one arm, and not even all of it, the desire for more grew over the next year as I was already finished my first body suit when that happened, I grew to love the black arm more and more and added more as time went on. I have most of that documented on this channel from the first videos onward
@@EphemeralRemy I definitely understand that my chest was out of wanting to cover it up and the arm I've started has my "better" work and is only from part of the hand to a third of the forearm so far and I love it so much
I remember seeing an episode of Jerry Springer when I was young, and there was a transgender woman in a wheelchair she said that she had cut her own legs off because she didn’t want them anymore, but that is my only memory of someone removing their legs on purpose.
My uncle had both legs removed due to diabetes (I know it's not the same thing). He often suffered tremendous "phantom" pain where the legs had been, and would sometimes forget he no longer had legs when he got out of bed. The entire experience for him was awful. Using prosthetics he could traverse stairs, he had to knock his heel on the back of the step to feel the sensation and then step. He missed once and decided it too dangerous to continue walking and relegated himself to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. I loved my dear Uncle Joe, and as a child often thought how I would save him if there was a fire in his apartment. He never let his afflication stop him from being a kind, loving, and generous human.
Totally agree about being with him when listening to the Renezz interviews. The way he talked about the leg removal makes it seem commendable. He's creating adversities to overcome in his life without negativity impacting others, which is a healthy behavior. It's interesting to see that developed nations have become so cushy, creating this sort of adversity is thinkable, let alone possible and relatively safe.
We’re in strange times for sure I think a lot of what we’re doing now we can only entertain because we have excess and ease, that being said it’s not our fault for that either. Life doesn’t give a lot of us enough strife to respond to, and some of us are creating our own. I think it’s admirable to some degree.
Wow you got mad work done in whenever this was uploaded to the vids I see now. Holy shit dude you use any of that numbing creme or you handle the pain like a savage? 5:49 My thing is why remove your legs just to get metal legs? I mean if he is cool with it then go ahead. Interesting guy
I'd be into having another dong installed. Ideally, side by side dongs; like the weird dual neckties in back to the future 2. I'm glad we live in a world where nothing is too outrageous if done in a grounded state of mind.
I’m doing a reacts about him too eventually; two completely different people with different back stories, I don’t think of him as the black alien 2, that doesn’t give either of them their due credit in my opinion
I'm all for doing what u want with ur body, I was a member of bme and admired Shannon as a kid... But removing perfectly healthy and extremely important body parts is where it crosses the line for me... I believe u should be allowed to do it but I really start questioning a person's mental health and if their doing all this for the right reasons... I do think he's doing this project for himself but I also believe their are people out there that will do crazy modifications for the clout and to be the most extreme, I just hope for people like black alien project they don't one day regret their decisions and have to live in pain later on in life because of them... And also We can't forget people like the stalking cat who committed suicide and zombie boy is still up in the air wirh his mysterious fall on what exactly happened... Theirs been plenty of lesser known ones too in the body mod community who have taken their lives and its something to keep In mind... Is this purely for the love of body mods and expressing urself or is it a symptom of a deeper problem
One thing to keep in mind about people like Stalking Cat and Zombie Boy is that they had many many other factors contributing to their mental illness that had nothing to do with body modification. Stalking Cat in particular struggled with their gender identity and was shunned by the local LGBTQ community for years and years, sending them into an unhealthy isolation. Zombie boy struggled with sobriety if I recall correctly. I’m not sure you can say their body modifications can reflect what was going on with their mental health in any way. For all we know, things could have ended the same no matter what they looked like because the problem was always deeper. Even Shannon from BME took his own life sadly, but it’s because he struggled with chronic illness and pain and couldn’t take it anymore (and suicide is common with people who have his illness sadly). I don’t think it’s fair to always speculate that extreme body modification could be a symptom when there are other factors at play. Now, If we’re talking about people with known or diagnosed personality disorders, impulse control disorders, body dysmorphia or body integrity disorder then I would definitely speculate.
I believe it’s definitely possible, but in black aliens case I don’t suspect depression/ suicidal tendancies, of course he may present well but have deep seated issues, that being said that could be said of many. As far as others looking for clout go I definitely share that concern/ sentiment as I expressed on an earlier reacts, the level were at now with body mods is a scary thing for youth, which is why I often say heavy mods should be done at a later age when we have a clear picture of who we are
@@Moon_samurai128 I agree, u make some valid points... I completely forgot about Shannon I always remember that he died from his illness I forgot that he took things into his own hands at the end.... Ur right about alot of what u said though, there's so many things at play when it comes to mental health it's impossible to narrow it down and try to pigeon hole one root cause for someone's behavior
It does work, it’s just pretty feint, laser is a long road even for removal, I actually do it at the shop I manage, it’s very gradual and tends to look pretty subtle
@@EphemeralRemy I have a tattoo on my arm that goes down onto my hand and I needed the hand part removed in order to get into the army, I went to 2 removal sessions and it really only took off the shading, all the line work is still there pretty dark.
Did he (Alien dude) purposely get his "black out" tatts to look like someone scribbled on him with a sharpie when he was passed out? I'm asking seriously.
I watched the first part before this, and I looked into the Instagrams. They seem to be having fun. Troubles on the inside will always bubble to the surface. What’s so funny is that his transformation reminds me of “Transmetropolitan” the comic book. That was a damn good title. I’d love to add a member rather than splitting it. 👍🏾 You look good with that black tank btw, like some nude illusion thing. 😂👏🏾👏🏾
It's up 2 this guy what he does with his body, but I 100% know that no matter how much he has thought about having a leg removed he really can't understand just how much that is going to impact on his life losing a leg, that's something nobody can understand unless it happens to them personally and I know 2 people who have lost legs one of them from the knee down and that took them along time to adjust to the other person lost their leg to the hip and they still haven't adjusted to that loss yet as that is far more debilitating than losing the lower leg alone, plus with the artificial limbs, they cause issues also, open sores on the stump etc so maybe black alien should go spent time with people who have legs missing to get a better idea of how disabling it can be? It's his body and choice but losing a leg ain't like having ears, noses or fingers removed, it's a much larger impact physically
I would have thought if he was going to do a brand(s).. He would have gone for something like alien looking symbols.. not the word “alien”… kinda lame. Like some HR Giger looking symbols.. Not ugly, chunky block letters that look like something I would have wrote on my middle school folders..
I mean that hard, FR i hope he realize what that mean to not be able to use leg, i assume he does so yee.... But some people have a medical conditions where they need to remove membres in order to feel better, damn that extreme. But ey its his life, all we can do is react and give him suport is better than sending him death threat
Some people have the mental illness where they believe that a body part does not "belong" as if its not their own... there was a guy in who cut off both legs actually.. but that was ofc. Not for him to look a certain way..
I don't understand it but if it makes him feel happy then more power to him. Makes me wonder how much more extreme modifications other people will do. I'm fine with just several tattoos on each limb for me. I've done scarification and regret it cause I'm not sure if it can be covered up with tattoos.
@@EphemeralRemy good to know thanks. Cool body art man. That kind of commitment isn't really for me but I respect it and understand it for the most part. I'm quite fascinated with how articulate you are. I really thought that getting tattoos on my arms and hands would put me in the position of not being able to get a job but I've had a few and I'm still looking for a full time job right now. I have a part-time job but I really need full-time work.

Sometimes I look at his photos and can't help but read his expression as like he's just in pain and misery trapped in a mutilated body. Sometimes he looks at the camera and seems just sad and in pain with his expression. Maybe I'm totally wrong though.
Nah he’s happy
I get the same impression: he doesn't look happy at all.
Gender dysphoria!!! This guy struggles big time with his biological gender.
It’s crazy comparing his before and after. He literally changed any identifying feature he could from his face. It’s a mind fuck. 🤯
Such a mind fuck😳
Removing his legs. When theres so many people who die to have legs. It's kinda like an insult to them. No to mention that he is totally insane
“He’s totally insane” seems like you haven’t seen any interviews with him
The leg is insane. It's His body, but damn homie.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆✌️
I've been following Black Alien Project for a while, but there's a lot of interesting information here that I hadn't heard before. As for the leg amputation, I seem to recall having seen his plans for his legs, but I don't think they were quite as interesting as the idea that you guys talked about. On the subject of people amputating their legs for reasons other than necessity, I have read of people amputating their own legs as far back as the late 90s. This has been connected to Body Integrity Identity Disorder and the people said that they needed to perform the ampuations in order to feel complete. The first reported cases of this were in the 70s.
I recall hearing a story of a man who lived a good portion of his life with both legs but his whole life he had said it always felt like one of them shouldn't be there. After asking doctors and plastic surgeons they refused as his legs were both healthy. He took matters into his own hands with liquid nitrogen. I'm sure you can put the rest together lol
That’s what happens a lot of the time with stuff like this, doctors refuse by the desire doesn’t just go away, and whatever we want bad enough we’ll find a way come hell or high water lol
damn son lol RIP
I have read lots of things about people having issues with their appendages and wanting them removed.
It's a very rare condition called BIID or Body Integrity Identity disorder. People who have this have the desire for the removal of one of their limbs. Interestingly enough, sometimes the desire to remove limbs can "move" to other limbs like if the right arm is removed then they'll want the left leg removed.
@@gabago0l saw an interesting documentary about this BIID issue, a guy always wanted his leg off, so he did it with a shotgun, above knee amputation - he was when interviewed, some years later, apparently delighted with his new look and prophetic leg.
Looking hench!
You can see you’ve been putting in the work 💪🏋️♀️
Now to actually watch the video 😂
Haha thanks man! Yea I’ve been working hard every day since the start of the year to change my form
This dude is all in, no matter if you find it aesthetically pleasing or not you gotta respect that commitment.

I have only seen his interview with Rene ZZ but he seems like a humble and down to earth guy which is pretty fucking rare these days. All the best to him on his jurney . Our paths to enlightenment and happiness are all different.
Absolutely agree on both fronts
Been following him for a long time and I am with you bro I really think he is truly happy.
Seems a great guy! I’d love to speak with him sometime
Just getting to the split member part and it's taking me back to the movie modify when the dude described it as a hot dog exploded in the microwave 😂
Yea that was a great great documentary, honestly it was a huge influence on me
@@EphemeralRemy it's a great watch and I think one of my favorite segments is on bodybuilding in how that is body modification which I had never considered before seeing it. It's a bummer it's not available many places. it was on Netflix streaming back in 2010!
I’ve watched it many many times throughout the years haha, it still holds up, and body building is definitely a body mod, it’s been that for me. In general weight loss/ change is, and I actually believe my weight loss to be my biggest body mod of all, whether most other people see it that way or not
What’s the documentary called?
@@ivyrose779 Modify
No. He is harming someone. Himself. This is akin to self harm.. and the person responsible for removing legs should in prison
Personally I do think people should be able to do what they wish with their body, even if it includes a voluntary amputation. But obviously that's really extreme. There is a condition called BIID (body integrity identity disorder) that causes people's "body map" in their brain to not recognize certain body parts, causing people to desire to amputate limbs. I wonder if this is part of his desire. This is probably not the context for a complex discussion or speculation about that (it's a body mod podcast not a psychology conference lol) but it does make me wonder.
It’s possible but we can only speculate
I just discovered this whole Black Alien Project the other night. I know this video is old, but wanted to give my two cents. Coming from someone who has never even had a tattoo, I couldn't give a $hit less if someone does this. It's something I wouldn't do to myself, but my hats off to him--and others--for doing his own thing. Is it extreme? Of course. But it's not hurting anyone, and the body is just a shell. The clip I first saw of him the other night, he was walking around his hometown with a guy, and some religious lady basically insinuated he'd go to Hell for ruining his body like that. What I find amazing about people who are obsessed with the Bible, is how hypocritical they are, and tend to cherry pick what works for them, and conveniently dodge what they don't like. If the body is a temple, then why is that same person fat? Why are YOU mistreating your body? I could provide a million examples of how people mistreat their body, yet they'll judge him, simply because his choices are extreme to them. Anyway, I find it fascinating, and what would life be with everyone looking the same. BORING!
I 100% agree remy as an individual anthony is epic i love seeing him and his personality evolve
You and both pal! A once in a life time guy for sure
I wonder if this guy views himself as riding along with the body as in a second person or if he is a part of it. The psychology of the thing is very interesting.
I know that this project is something I will never understand. It doesn't mean I dont think he should be able to do whatever he wants with his body but I think it's clear his project is designed to push boundaries in so many ways. Boundaries of what is possible to do with the human body, the line between body modification and self harm, and something I havent really seen talked about explicitly- the uncomfortable area of intentionally disabling yourself. I just came from your first video on him and a thought I kept having was that there are people in the world that look like him but those people are usually burn victims. They are people who have been mutilated or disfigured against their own will. Is doing it for aesthetic reasons disrespectful or is it in a way respectful because it's something many people would feel shame for while he is uplifting this aesthetic? But then again is the branding as "alien" dehumanizing and othering to those who don't have a choice in looking this way? The amputations even further this as he is literally physically disabling himself. Then again does other peoples experiences and appearances even matter in comparison to what hes doing? I dont know if I can truly answer these questions but I'd love to hear input from disabled people about this project.
It’s the same reason you can’t just drive however you want and crash. Because everyone else has to clean up the mess. When all that shit gets infected and he’s in the hospital he has to be taken care of. Honestly poor guy just wants to commit suicide and he’s taking the long way.
Hi, your comment was so interesting. I agree on everything you said, on every question you brought up. Being disabled now (yeah I know my profile picture doesn't show it - it was taken 7 years ago), it is hard to see people mutilating themselves and making themselves disabled on purpose. But somehow it is just as hard watching him do that to himself as it is seeing people smoke, knowing they have high chance of developing fibrosis because of it. It can feel disrespectful, as I wish I would have been able to choose.. That being said, I don't think I represent the disabled community so my opinions might be off. And I also don't think we should prohibit these kinds of projects. I do believe that everyone should be free to do what they want of their body. But as you said..if it is a way of doing self-harm, should it be promoted? Should it be regulated by the approval of psychiatrists? Is it a good thing that he calls himself an alien? Wouldn't people who survived accidents/suffering from birth defects feel dehumanised? The subject is so interesting and I wouldn't know what to conclude. I'd love to know more people's opinions on it, i wouldn't be able to make my own as I think it is a subject that requires to be talked about with great nuance
I’d like to add extra body parts 😂😂 modified rib cage and and extra pair of arms? SURE!
Imagine how much more efficient you could be haha
I always figured Tim Commerford was the first dude most people saw with blackout tatts, even though they were just the upper arm/shoulder and chest a bit - I clearly remember thinking how wild it was that he just went totally black and that was back in the 90's
Remy had me cracking up with his comments & retorts in this vid! 😂
Haha thanks for watching! People can be very silly
i'll be honest his leg sleeves are seriously sick
Definitely!
i love the black alien’s leg tattoos. very cool.🔥
Awesome video as always! I’m not sure how to feel about the leg amputation idea. With the black alien project I’m basically just along for the ride at this point lol. But I was a little bit jarred by the branding on the head. It seems so…unaesthetic? I’ve gotten that vibe about one or two other mods he’s had done, but in the end they always made sense. But I don’t know about this one.
Yea for me the branding was a bit of a “buying your own hype” moment, maybe it wasn’t but that’s how I read it, it cheapens the project, but I don’t think in a monumental way, I think I would wake up the next day in a similar mind space of having slept with a woman I wouldn’t have otherwise if not intoxicated “ahh sh1t why did I have so many drinks” it was a chaotic semi nonsensical step for his overall project that seemed a bit spur of the moment for my taste. Still got love for the guy though! Thanks for watching
There are a lot of carpenters with cut off fingers.... unintentionally but still 😂
My dad actually had a finger pulled off by a machine at a poultry plant before I was born hah
A close friend of mine went from a PA to Meatotomy in the early 2000's, Sadly he took life very shortly after. I cant say for sure if there was a connection but I've wondered for years. RIP old friend
I love body modification im 6 days in splitting my tongue using binding method , I'd love vampire fangs and pointed ears but this is super extreme , but its his body if he's healthy and happy then fk what others think , loads of people have boob an butt implants , botox, lip fillers an toast themselves for hours on sunbeds yet this is total acceptable 🤔
I make that same argument all the time, the Kardashians are more heavily body modded than black alien
@@EphemeralRemy not only are they more modified, they are also more of an influence on people including children which is scary
Definitely
Body modification has been around a long time,chill peeps.
True freedom of expression
Remy we need the workout video soon you’re lookin huge my guy! Taking body modification a new route💪
Haha I talk a bit about my fitness in an upcoming vlog, that being said I have seen my change as a body mod for sure
That scarification though. I can't get over it. Lots of the other stuff I am truly fascinated about, and the pain he must endure must be something similar to the disease I am fighting, so he is somewhat an inspiration to get through the pain.
But I have enough scars, no need for more. I stick to piercings and tattoos.
And I am planning some blackoutwork now inspired by you @remy. It is so beautiful to watch the changes and how it all comes together.
Thanks so much! Happy to be some inspiration to you!
@@EphemeralRemy oh lots!! You showed me that I can stretch other parts of my ears then the lobes,and introduced me (kind of) to blackout tattooing. (I was following the brutal black project before I found you)..
But all your work is so inspiring, though I will never get a full bodysuit due to my illness I can at least black out some of my body and reshape some of my tattoos, you guys showed me that.
He must be so in debt.... No way he can afford all of this with only having a tattoo shop🤷🏻♀️
😂😂😂
Sugar daddies.
I have a Jacobs ladder and the idea of splitting my member who I love is terrifying. Curious about the logistics of it though
Him with a nose but all black already was looking like satan😈👽
I would say Black Alien has no real direction . His last mods seem more like someone suggested something off the wall and he said, what the heck , I’ll NEVER be normal again anyways . Taking the human body to its limits, or till he is on the table and doesn’t wake up .
There are online communities centered around people that desire voluntary amputation. And yes, people have gotten entire limbs removed. Sometimes they just don’t identify with various body parts- meaning their brain cant register that its a part of their actual body. Sometimes its fetish based where they want to be incapacitated to whatever degree and there are then counterparts to that of people who want voluntary amputees to be dependent on them. Then there are the people who want someone to eat a part of their body, and people who will do the eating. All kinds of stuff. I haven’t really seen it approached from a body mod aspect though it may be related to the dysphoria type experience some seem to go through.
I do know that often people do not go to doctors to have these things done. They would just be denied in a regular medical setting. They get creative finding other providers or harming themselves in ways that then demand amputation.
People are diverse and strange.
That’s the thing, the medical industry has sort of dropped the ball/ failed in a big way in many countries if you ask me. The people who want to do this stuff bad enough will always find a way, and when doctors won’t even perform simple surgeries like tongue splitting on principle alone, it forces people seeking procedures to go to people who sometimes aren’t capable. In black aliens case however his surgeon does seem gifted, and I trust that they’ll do whatever else he has planned the safest best way they can.
@@EphemeralRemy Oh definitely. And I don’t see how any if it is much different than plastic surgery. Especially given all the health complications that can come from very common cosmetic procedures. I guess they just don’t want the image. He seems to have found a good person to work with but I hope there is a way that plastic surgeons can get involved in the more “taboo” body mods in the future.
Then again psychopaths are likeable and charismatic ,well spoken and clearly NOT of right mind. Who really knows If BAP is of sound mind.
It would always be impossible to say for sure
PS Had wrong fingers removed to do Vulcan Live Long and Prosper
He is french but speaks spanish and english well tbh
Good to know he speaks English! I’ll be reaching out to them
Great video, you, Rene zz and PK chronicles do a great job diving into this subject, wondering about your thoughts on those 2 people?
I’ve already done a video on ReneZZ and he has done several with me too. Renezz and I have been friends for years and I have a ton of respect for him as a human
I don't get why these people are wearing human style clothing. They will do all of that modification and have the audacity to not even walk around in a Xenu suit or something.
i can tell you guys that most men that have had the procedure gently hold behind the head of p...s with middle and pointer finger or jack style and aim. everything else still very capable of normal function when said procedure is fully successful.
Always good to hear your point of view man.
Respect ✊
Thanks for watching my friend, much love
Great points here. The branding does seem to be motivated by social media. IMO it's a redundancy like tattooing your own name on yourself.
Ironically I have ephemeral tattooed over my eyebrow, however that was before I even was on Instagram let alone was known haha, but I completely agree
I love watching anthonys(black alien) progression i am defo following his evolution and re-evolution. #renezz homiefella spanglish fan
Same here pal
I have this weird thing of really wanting a prosthetic leg but i most definitely wouldn't cut my leg of for it 😅
Few would, which is part of what I admire about his quest
I worked with a guy at little ceases that had 3 fingers like the alien guy but he lost his when he was a kid by putting his had in a bike chain
Haha yea my father lost one of his in a machine at a poultry plant before I was born, totally different animal
Oh man you guys gotta do Diablo Prado ! Kinda like black Alien
He’s on my list for sure, I’m admittedly less familiar with him but I’ve had him in mind for months.
Favourite episode so far Remy haha, loved it!
Thanks for watching! I had a lot of fun with this one
Would be cool to do an interview 👍🏻
Perhaps one day!
"Simpsons did it"!!!!! And Darth maul ( from star wars not the internet guy) also had his bottom half removed and replaced by mechanical spider leg thing's... Lol!!!
I thought he was going with the mechanical leg idea, if he did both legs he could get the prosthetics that they use for running fast, those C shape springy ones that would look cool af 😂👍
Definitely haha
Since you think it would look cool won't you do it? 🤔🤣🤣🤣✌️
It’s so hard for me to have a clear opinion. On one hand, people should be able to do whatever they want with their own body. On the other hand, would we would have the same view about someone killing themself or self harm type cutting? I know it’s not exactly the same, but it’s potentially on the same spectrum.
I think I have a bit more of a reservation about it for him specifically because of the vibe he gives me. I’m in the mental health field and there’s something about him in the videos he posts that makes my little therapist hairs go up. It’s not even his look per se, it just the energy his behavior gives off that makes me feel like there’s something under the surface. Of course I could be totally wrong. Like you said, he’s the only one who knows what’s truly going on with him. If he’s going to start doing bigger and bigger mods, I really hope he uses someone who is a real surgeon and prioritizes safety.
Also, I totally agree with you about the addiction to cosmetic surgery. Just because it’s not “scary” looking doesn’t mean that plastic surgery is any less of a body mod.
It’s tough because medical professionals refuse these surgeries, so often people seeking them are forced to find less qualified individuals that are willing to do these procedures. That being said I also don’t know what the criteria would be to qualify for this sort of modification even if doctors were on board with doing it, how do you prove your sane and want to remove your legs at the same time to a degree that would make sense to anyone else? It’s a tough grey area for sure.
As far as humans taking their own lives that’s a huge grey area too i think, some countries do have assisted suicide already, my father took his own life, and the way he did it was much more grisly than it should have been in my view, especially considering he was sort of trying to die for his whole life, you could say his death was his life’s work.
Hi Remy, why did you cover up your chest piece? It was soo beautiful! It's cool in all black as well though :)
I have made a couple videos all about that, as it’s a pretty long explanation
Some of his mods I like, some I don't like. Yesss to the idea of spider legs from the person behind the camera 🤩 I wonder if the silicone implants help keeping the dermals in place 🤔
Good question
Hey remy! Im loving what you're doing, i cant stop watching your videos since i discovered you had a youtube channel.
I have a question, what should i do if i really like a tattoo artist work but there is no way i can get an appointment with them?
For example, i live in Argentina and this guy is from Denver, and there is no possible way i can buy a plane ticket, rent a room on the US for who knows how many days, pay UD prices, etc.
I hate the idea of copying a design or art style, what should i do?
Again, loving what you're doing, have a nice one :)
Find someone with a similar style and do an original design based on a similar idea is what I’d recommend, I’ve never traveled for anything honestly
Reminds of an old bmz thread where a dude had used dry ice to freeze his leg dead after the docs said no. He went back and forced their hand for amputation.
Yea I’ve heard about that story, wasn’t quite the same but it’s still a removal haha
Really loving your vids! I've seen your IG, always admired your spirit. So cool to find your vids 🤘
Appreciate the support thank you!
the alien project shows that everyone have to stand for himself, however from where you are and who you are!!!
There are people that remove limbs to have a "crippled" aesthetic, there is a sub reddit about that, you guys might be interested
I’ve actually seen a bit of that, but it’s not quite in the same realm haha
@@EphemeralRemy What do you think of his recent "Trash Work" face tattoo on the right side now?
Yeah I seen some ''split members'' in the ''Modify'' documentary, it was wild LOL.
Yup haha
People I know who have removed their legs without it being a necessity technically, are the people who have body dysmorphia and feel as though they shouldn't have a leg there and they were supposed to be an amputee. But that's debatable because they feel like it's a necessity to make them happy so even though it might not be medically necessary it's necessary to them to feel comfortable in their own body. I have no judgment when it comes to people modifying their body to make them feel happy and comfortable in their own skin. I will see that most of these people cannot find anyone to actually do this procedure for them. Most of them have to kill their appendage to the point where there's no return in order for medical professionals to remove the body parts like sticking it in ice until they basically freeze the body part to the point of death or other types of destruction on the offending limb. So I'm not sure who will do this procedure and my fear is he won't be able to get it done professionally.
He was a brilliant piano player, now all he can play is Chopsticks.
4:26 when I had my leg amputated, I had the same feeling. I am glad I am able to have a unique human experience, although it would be nice to have two legs.
That guy on jerry springer in the late 90’s took a skill saw and cut off his legs, and he even went as far as injecting. Dirty water to try and get an infection so the doctors would cut off the other leg. Had like 3 episodes on him and another dude
Hey Remy, years ago on cable I saw a doctor that had his healthy leg removed. He consulted w/ psych drs and friends that were doctors and they took it off. He was in his right mind just wanted that leg chopped off. It was on tlc or something.
Keep The vids coming Remy!!!
Thanks for watching buddy!
I'm not convinced you can both be in your right mind and want a healthy leg removed.
@@beezwaks Maybe thats the whole point of making your own decisions. And who's really "healthy"? Its a matter of perception.
Agreed with that
@@justinthymes5680 theres definitely some boundaries being pushed as far as Form vs. Function going on.
But aesthetics aside, I think domestic addiction as mentioned in the vid is 100% accurate. Which we all fall on at some point of the scale. Which is ultimately driven by culture and biology.
Like.if hes going for full send post human art piece I get it.
But like my patience is tested with like the those so called "trans-disabled" folks, who disable themselves for seemingly pathological attention. This seems to be really blurring that line.
Lead singer of Prodigy had black-out tattoo in the 90's
Yea I think I remember that
It's fascinating to see people's reaction to this kind of "extreme" projects.
They just can't seems to understand how it has nothing to do with them and why their commentary on it is completely irrelevant. At best you get a "that's their thing man" followed by some clearly disgusted reactions.
Being trans and having to talk to people about surgeries and the why and how of it all has left me convinced that there's just a large chunk of the population who's outright disgusted by anything that changes/modify the human body, regardless of it's reconstructive or esthetic. It's not like bod mods but I often get the same disgust from people.
That's why I like those vids, it's a more nuanced take and while there's still criticism, it's thoughtful criticism, not just gut reaction like most would have. Good stuff!
Thanks for watching! And I truly do believe each of us is to decide what we do with our own bodies
@@EphemeralRemy Oh for sure, would be a better world if everybody thought like that.
Really loving the content, cheers to you guys!
It might be a little bit of a odd question but when you blacked out all of work did you know right away how much blackout you wanted? I currently have most of my chest and a start on my right arm and I've already been thinking about my left arm and neck.
Originally I just blacked out one arm, and not even all of it, the desire for more grew over the next year as I was already finished my first body suit when that happened, I grew to love the black arm more and more and added more as time went on. I have most of that documented on this channel from the first videos onward
@@EphemeralRemy I definitely understand that my chest was out of wanting to cover it up and the arm I've started has my "better" work and is only from part of the hand to a third of the forearm so far and I love it so much
Some people have removed their legs, usually one lower leg and replaced it with some kind of peg for body mod. I’ve seen it.
I’ve never that one before, but I believe he’s taking them off at the waist eventually
I remember seeing an episode of Jerry Springer when I was young, and there was a transgender woman in a wheelchair she said that she had cut her own legs off because she didn’t want them anymore, but that is my only memory of someone removing their legs on purpose.
There’s been a few people who have done it, but not as a body mod necessarily, haha
@@EphemeralRemy yes deffinitely not in the same realm😂 they said they did it in their kitchen or something, very strange interview 🖤🖤
@@EphemeralRemy th-cam.com/video/KvY2ScZBCtQ/w-d-xo.html havnt seen this since I was a child and saw it on tv but here it is lol
My uncle had both legs removed due to diabetes (I know it's not the same thing). He often suffered tremendous "phantom" pain where the legs had been, and would sometimes forget he no longer had legs when he got out of bed. The entire experience for him was awful. Using prosthetics he could traverse stairs, he had to knock his heel on the back of the step to feel the sensation and then step. He missed once and decided it too dangerous to continue walking and relegated himself to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. I loved my dear Uncle Joe, and as a child often thought how I would save him if there was a fire in his apartment. He never let his afflication stop him from being a kind, loving, and generous human.
Mans got more ink since last time lol.
Submitted a tattoo for the next reaction! Fingers crossed
We have a pretty big back log but we’ll get to them all!
If he has both removed and gets into an argument he won’t have a leg to stand on…
Fair and fair haha
I think i heard from a old colleague that with the split member, they usually do a urethral re root, so they can pee like a girl 👧
Ahh that makes sense
Totally agree about being with him when listening to the Renezz interviews. The way he talked about the leg removal makes it seem commendable. He's creating adversities to overcome in his life without negativity impacting others, which is a healthy behavior. It's interesting to see that developed nations have become so cushy, creating this sort of adversity is thinkable, let alone possible and relatively safe.
We’re in strange times for sure I think a lot of what we’re doing now we can only entertain because we have excess and ease, that being said it’s not our fault for that either. Life doesn’t give a lot of us enough strife to respond to, and some of us are creating our own. I think it’s admirable to some degree.
Wow you got mad work done in whenever this was uploaded to the vids I see now. Holy shit dude you use any of that numbing creme or you handle the pain like a savage?
5:49 My thing is why remove your legs just to get metal legs? I mean if he is cool with it then go ahead. Interesting guy
I'd be into having another dong installed. Ideally, side by side dongs; like the weird dual neckties in back to the future 2. I'm glad we live in a world where nothing is too outrageous if done in a grounded state of mind.
Haha you and I both
what if they were one on top of the other so you can put it in both holes lmfao
😂👍
No. This is all fucking outrageous.
Imagine having a cold and no nose. It'd be a snot fest 🤧
I’m surprised this isn’t on diablaopraddo who’s commonly dubbed black alien 2 even tho he isn’t going for an alien look.
I’m doing a reacts about him too eventually; two completely different people with different back stories, I don’t think of him as the black alien 2, that doesn’t give either of them their due credit in my opinion
I'm all for doing what u want with ur body, I was a member of bme and admired Shannon as a kid... But removing perfectly healthy and extremely important body parts is where it crosses the line for me... I believe u should be allowed to do it but I really start questioning a person's mental health and if their doing all this for the right reasons...
I do think he's doing this project for himself but I also believe their are people out there that will do crazy modifications for the clout and to be the most extreme, I just hope for people like black alien project they don't one day regret their decisions and have to live in pain later on in life because of them...
And also We can't forget people like the stalking cat who committed suicide and zombie boy is still up in the air wirh his mysterious fall on what exactly happened... Theirs been plenty of lesser known ones too in the body mod community who have taken their lives and its something to keep In mind... Is this purely for the love of body mods and expressing urself or is it a symptom of a deeper problem
One thing to keep in mind about people like Stalking Cat and Zombie Boy is that they had many many other factors contributing to their mental illness that had nothing to do with body modification. Stalking Cat in particular struggled with their gender identity and was shunned by the local LGBTQ community for years and years, sending them into an unhealthy isolation. Zombie boy struggled with sobriety if I recall correctly. I’m not sure you can say their body modifications can reflect what was going on with their mental health in any way. For all we know, things could have ended the same no matter what they looked like because the problem was always deeper. Even Shannon from BME took his own life sadly, but it’s because he struggled with chronic illness and pain and couldn’t take it anymore (and suicide is common with people who have his illness sadly). I don’t think it’s fair to always speculate that extreme body modification could be a symptom when there are other factors at play. Now, If we’re talking about people with known or diagnosed personality disorders, impulse control disorders, body dysmorphia or body integrity disorder then I would definitely speculate.
I believe it’s definitely possible, but in black aliens case I don’t suspect depression/ suicidal tendancies, of course he may present well but have deep seated issues, that being said that could be said of many. As far as others looking for clout go I definitely share that concern/ sentiment as I expressed on an earlier reacts, the level were at now with body mods is a scary thing for youth, which is why I often say heavy mods should be done at a later age when we have a clear picture of who we are
@@EphemeralRemy I agree totally, with everything u just said... Thanks for the reply dude
@@Moon_samurai128 I agree, u make some valid points... I completely forgot about Shannon I always remember that he died from his illness I forgot that he took things into his own hands at the end.... Ur right about alot of what u said though, there's so many things at play when it comes to mental health it's impossible to narrow it down and try to pigeon hole one root cause for someone's behavior
Thanks for watching my friend
Dude, you could have a computer laser some dope designs into/out of your black tattoos.
That doesn’t work as well as what the internet is making it out to, but I’m already doing designs over the black with color black and white
@@EphemeralRemy nope, saw it on the internet, it has to be true. Lol bummer.
It does work, it’s just pretty feint, laser is a long road even for removal, I actually do it at the shop I manage, it’s very gradual and tends to look pretty subtle
@@EphemeralRemy I have a tattoo on my arm that goes down onto my hand and I needed the hand part removed in order to get into the army, I went to 2 removal sessions and it really only took off the shading, all the line work is still there pretty dark.
Yep, that sounds about right to me
Did he (Alien dude) purposely get his "black out" tatts to look like someone scribbled on him with a sharpie when he was passed out? I'm asking seriously.
I watched the first part before this, and I looked into the Instagrams. They seem to be having fun. Troubles on the inside will always bubble to the surface.
What’s so funny is that his transformation reminds me of “Transmetropolitan” the comic book. That was a damn good title.
I’d love to add a member rather than splitting it. 👍🏾
You look good with that black tank btw, like some nude illusion thing. 😂👏🏾👏🏾
Haha thanks! I do enjoy these tank tops
Also, I heard on another video I heard he can't find employment, so how does he afford all of this stuff?
That’s fake, he’s a tattoo artist it’s very well known.
It's up 2 this guy what he does with his body, but I 100% know that no matter how much he has thought about having a leg removed he really can't understand just how much that is going to impact on his life losing a leg, that's something nobody can understand unless it happens to them personally and I know 2 people who have lost legs one of them from the knee down and that took them along time to adjust to the other person lost their leg to the hip and they still haven't adjusted to that loss yet as that is far more debilitating than losing the lower leg alone, plus with the artificial limbs, they cause issues also, open sores on the stump etc so maybe black alien should go spent time with people who have legs missing to get a better idea of how disabling it can be? It's his body and choice but losing a leg ain't like having ears, noses or fingers removed, it's a much larger impact physically
Definitely a ramp up in severity, I know I’d miss my legs for sure
I remember when everyone was aghast when Mike Tyson got his face tattoo.
All i can say is i feel bad if he has loving parents i feel bad for the parents
Lol its a joke but that was exactly my rational when i started getting tattoos on my face and neck.
Yeah my brother amputated his leg and attached to his lower back as a tail
First time I saw blackout was some skateboarder in the late 90’s. Think I saw him in trans world skateboarding magazine. Thought it was pretty wild 😂
I would have thought if he was going to do a brand(s).. He would have gone for something like alien looking symbols.. not the word “alien”… kinda lame.
Like some HR Giger looking symbols..
Not ugly, chunky block letters that look like something I would have wrote on my middle school folders..
I’m with ya there, the name branding was definitely odd
I'm just shocked he found someone to take his fingers off, I thought doctors weren't supposed to do that sort of thing except as last resort.
Skilled body mod artists step in where doctors won’t
@@EphemeralRemy There's an "American healthcare" joke here but I'm not clever enough to make it.
😂
“The value of one human life isn’t much.”
I mean that hard, FR i hope he realize what that mean to not be able to use leg, i assume he does so yee....
But some people have a medical conditions where they need to remove membres in order to feel better, damn that extreme.
But ey its his life, all we can do is react and give him suport is better than sending him death threat
He definitely has sad eyes
Some people have the mental illness where they believe that a body part does not "belong" as if its not their own... there was a guy in who cut off both legs actually.. but that was ofc. Not for him to look a certain way..
I don't understand it but if it makes him feel happy then more power to him. Makes me wonder how much more extreme modifications other people will do. I'm fine with just several tattoos on each limb for me. I've done scarification and regret it cause I'm not sure if it can be covered up with tattoos.
It can be covered/masked through creative use of design, but the scars won’t go away.
@@EphemeralRemy good to know thanks. Cool body art man. That kind of commitment isn't really for me but I respect it and understand it for the most part.
