i infact did this, i knew she wouldn’t try stop me, i was 18 and already had pierced ears, and had my septum done before (not with mums knowledge… she hated it, only time she has ever asked me to get rid of a piercing, and now we have a mutual agreement that i can get it done again as long as i never tell her and never show it XD)
The day before i went to get my NExT in i told her, first time i phrased it as an announcement instead of a question, i think i grew as a person from that experience.
Just wanna say I agree with this.
Mine is as well. I kept bringing it up over 2ish years and finally got it installed at 17. Now she just thinks it’s cool and now I have 4 implants. She still sorta dictates it (even though I’m of legal age now) because she always ask a family friend who is a nurse to do it for me, but she came around rather quick.
Same thing happened with my septum piercing, she hated the idea said it looked ugly and then 2 months later she signed the waver saying I could get it done and now she loves it.
when i first brought it up at 16 or 17 my mom was probably thinking: what the heck is this crazy thing? its probably just a phase, if i say to wait till hes 18 itll go away…
so i waited because i was almost there anyway. i installed an rfid/button start on my car in preperation (that failed and im replacing it)
fast forward to 18 and now shes backed into a corner. she said 18, im 18 now, ive made mods to the car in prep… she kinda couldnt say no at that point. i pester a bit and she just gives up like usual. so i get it, search around a bit and turns out moonman was willing to help. Dad then stepped in with the thought of “i dont like this whole random guy you met on the internet idea…” and reluctantly offered to attempt it himself. the rest is history!
edit: at this point she has resigned to “dont talk to me about it, dont show me” because she gets grossed out. so when the titan happened i kinda just bought it and she found out later when she saw $500 missing from my bank account.
I guess parents just generally want to make sure that their children are safe.
As soon as they find out that the process is pretty safe they cool with it.
I would give 500bucks to my kid to get a titan magnet as that is pretty much the safest implant I can think of.
…but as always, feel free to argue: you can suggest a safer implant if you know one?

I’m not sure if I need to make allegations of insider trading, or acknowledge your great call on this, but either way it reads well!
I can respect that, but this is why we can’t reach a community consensus! I was more talking on why I believe in todays climate for my region it should be done a certain way, not advocating for the climate around body mods acceptance in general too.
I see where you’re going with this, but the unfortunate nature is that piercings are more accepted. Child Welfare Services aren’t going to be bothered if they hear reports of piercing a 12 year olds ears, will they feel the same about a concerned person calling them saying the guy around the corner is microchipping his kids like cattle?
If you want a hard answer, i think its less flexible to account for circumstances. For example, one local piercer considers any piercing to be ‘advanced mods’ - same category for silicone, scarification, x series, flex or ear pointing. By that logic, strictly 18+.
Unless law makers can categorise it as a piercing/body jewellery, legal mod, or illegal mod we’re just gonna go in circles. There are arguments that are valid for all ages.
I thought it was weird seeing him talk in “Any Other Young People?”
I also have a habit of reading everyone’s bio, and he outed himself there.
…is that a thing?
… I mean everything’s always a thing… but shit…
Not going to stop anyone, but I guess I start questioning things when you are removing things, rather than adding or altering
You mean something like this
That I can totally understand more than removing a nipple
oh, if google was more biased towards gore I’d suggest look up nullification
It’s a bit strange, yes…
But I’ve seen people removing nipples or navels because they were disturbing a tattoo… so, might be a valid reason 
Other people remove their ears, noses or parts of their fingers, simply because they like the aesthetic of that. I don’t, but I’m fine with everything^^
I’m not! I stand for my point:
Medical point of view, leaving moral to the parents. see my equation 
How to expect people to uprate the reputation of cyborg if we can’t get to a consent about basics, even if we say 18+. !!! The Kaspersky lab pointed out the people in the UK are morons, because they were biassed by the brainwash clickbait of the media. Therefore you hear comment about the mark of the beast and what not… I started to go around circles 
and that’s that!
I mean, Australia is still dealing with an artist who was doing labia removal for Body Mod Art. It sounds like a thing.
Did you guys know, that according to a fresh survey 77% of the UK would prefer if human augmentation was regulated by the government?
I think I can reply now, my options are wait 1-1.5years then self-install, or wait 5 years and get it professionally done. What do you guys think?(next implant)
I summarised my opinion in this post.
Self implant? 
Maybe you will spend the next year practicing, researching, consulting with others… so you gain skills needed for self-implant. Despite all that, I suggest against the following:
You actually would need to practice, especially doing it with one hand. Please be sensible and get an expert to do it for you if you decide to get implanted anyways!
I will try to get as much practice as possible if self installing. of course, my body may not be ready in a year, but i’m pretty certain that it would be impossible to get a professional to do it. I will continue to research and possibly make several practice runs before doing the actual thing. anyways, right now I will focus on making devices I can use when I get the implant.
