I dono, I think there's a sort of bizarre elegance to this level of body modification. It certainly makes a statement. The body as medium, the extremity of it as a form of art. People who do this are simultaneously extremely off-center (from the rest of society) and completely self-contained and centered, if that makes any sense. They've taken complete control of their appearance and identity and made it entirely their own. I find it fascinating.
