Less than 48 hours to go to my tongue split procedure! I removed the 10mm barbell from my tongue earlier this week, to allow the tongue to return to normal, so that it can be cut correctly. I’ve been wearing that barbell for about four years - It was custom made for me and it feels really weird without it. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good 
I purchased some 4mm flesh hooks from the shop (I take my own medicine) for my suspension coming up in September. Was meant to be getting some more ink this week, but things changed at the last minute and I have to forego that.
Good News Everybody!
I’ve arranged to have my tongue split next week! I’ll be doing that on Friday, to give me a quiet weekend of reflection before I have to try to talk again. I am really stoked about the whole thing, the only bit I’m not looking forward to is the stitches. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I’ve been mostly working - Added some tweaks to the PiShop site - and getting on with orders/product updates. Speaking of new stuff; I decided to see if I could find some silicone eyelets to fit my 38mm lobes. I had to import them from the states and I’m currently evaluating them.
They are from Kaos Softwear - so the quality is a ‘known’ - Just a matter of seeing how well my ears get on with them. We may add them to the shop if demand is high enough.
In other news; I managed to get the first part of the crossbuster done - just need to finish of next week. Plus a number of my other tattoos need touching up.
