byob has always been home to creatives and counter cultures, so it's no surprise that many posters here engage in the ultimate form of self expression: modifications to your human body, the last frontier in creative design and engineering challenge.
human people modify the bodies that they have for any number of different reasons, but the big three are:
1. fancy add ons (external visual decorations) ex: change your eye color
2. upgrades (improving existing body performance) ex: replace your heart with a stronger man's
3. new features (doing things you couldn't do before) ex: add a large hollow bony echo chamber over your nose to enable you to produce loud honks, audible at great distances
you can use this thread to talk about the latest mods you've seen or gotten, or if you're new, just ask any questions

i'll start off with a short rant. it's hard being a dedicated body modder in small town america. i thought i had found a like minded crowd when i went to a local shop to get a quote on a tattoo (think tribal design, but with a futuristic style like a computer chip). but when i took out my moleskine to show him my preliminary design work on a swim bladder i want to get for increased buoyancy control, it was like he totally shut down. i don't know if he wasn't willing to do it or if his shop just wasn't equipped for it, but he made it clear that he didn't want my business.

I just bedazzled my brains. 
i don't think that temporary chemical modifications really fit in this thread, but if you've made any permanent sort of physical changes to your brain, i think we'd all like to hear of your experiences and if there were any pitfalls

let me guess, you're new to this. the first thing any newbie does is to immediately go and start replacing their limbs, but this is why i made the thread. think about this: how small would a frog's legs be on your body? even the biggest legs from a frog couldn't provide the force to achieve what you're imagining. if you were serious about limb replacement, a more suitable animal might be a kangaroo, but even that's an aggressive choice for a first mod. maybe try gradually introducing frog muscular tissue to your legs to provide additional jumping speed and strength and see where you want to go from there.

i'm getting sick of the rampant mammalism in body modding. oh, it's no problem if i want a long luxurious mane, or an udder for milking my young, but if i want a large sail fin down my back so i can utilize the wind to propel me while skateboarding, and to radiate heat away from my body in hot weather, all of a sudden it's "oh, i don't really know if that would even work"

boo hoo. try putting a propeller on your head, office chair wheels on your feet and a lobster tail on your butt and both the mod and cyborg communities will have nothing to do with you

I went to the surgeons, they laughed me out of the office for saying "steampunk angler-fish" when I was asked what I wanted to get done. memo to health care professionals: don't ask if you don't want to know!

I added a strip of rare earth magnet into my leg so I could add magnets to my key chain, wallets, box for holding my MTG deck (always gotta be ready for a game), sick rear end switch blade and then just have them cling to my leg so I don't have to fumble around in my pockets like a FAG

I just use one of those T2 mods where you can change your fingers into all that poo poo. Maybe you're too hip for that though? I dunno.

Here's a mod that helps you win Israel vs Palestine debates: I installed an audio sensor on my forehead that detects the word "Israel" and when it returns positive it runs a laser sensor that prints "ISRAEL SUCKS" on the wall

It took me a year to save up, but I finally was able to find a qualified surgeon to allow my head turn fully backwards, like an owl. Friends respect me, and lovers can't get enough of it.

Dead people are so lucky. After you die, if you want a really long, pointy face, all you need to do is grab your face and pull. Want your eyes to be relocated anywhere you want and still be functional? A quick and painless two second "pull and pop" procedure. If I want to do that while alive? Yeah, have fun finding someone who won't gently caress it up and give you a snout, instead.

I know that this isn't strictly a body modification, but I don't know who else to turn to. I am currently considering inserting my brain into a stick insect, so that I may fulfil my life-long dream and also enjoy the many benefits of being a stick insect, for example looking like a stick. Does anyone have any advice on how to make the whole procedure quick and painless?
I can do this very cheap. In one quick operation, you will be no more and I guarantee that somewhere a stick-bug will go on, living the dream, fully convinced of its authentic stick-bugginess.
