“I have lots of body mods...extreme body mods. My first one was a piercing when I was around fourteen or fifteen-years-old. I always thought it was the direction I was gonna go in [and] it just kinda perpetuated from there. I got into heavier mods, like I have a microchip in my hand (which we scanned with our phone to get his Instagram), a heart on my sleeve, my tongue is split, and I have all Egyptian tattoos on this side. I like the idea of how the Egyptians characterized personality traits or qualities. I do wanna get another tattoo, but I really like my subdermals, so I have a plan to put three hearts on my arm.

“Not everyone is into body mods. One little piercing can be one thing to somebody and nothing to another, so everybody’s got their own personalized thought about it. It doesn’t really affect me. I’m a nice person, so you know.”
