I Started My Extreme Body Mod Aged 11 | HOOKED ON THE LOOK

AN 18-year-old woman with over 20 facial piercings and tattooed eyeballs says that she doesn’t regret any of her modifications. Body-modification lover Chiara, 18, from Rome, got her first piercing when she was just 11 years old. Since then, she has had around 40 more modifications - including over 20 facial piercings, 12 “scarifications”, two “brandings”, six subdermal implants and tattooed eyeballs. Chiara told Truly: “My need for modification is not dictated by the need for attention or to be seen at all costs. It’s a personal need. Everything I do, I do it for myself.” Chiara’s mother Samantha is overall very supportive of her daughter’s look, but worries about how she will be perceived by others. Many of the piercings Chiara has undergone were carried out herself or by her boyfriend, Michele. Chiara’s tattooed eyeballs were also performed by Michele - this was the first time he had ever performed such a procedure on anybody. Michele said: “My favourite modification that I’ve done on her is a project that we had for quite a while. A little, intimate project. We stretched her labia minora and later we put some implants on her labia majora. But I think in the end, after some ups and downs, she’s happy with it.” Chiara added: “I have a bit of a limp, but whatever.” Chiara’s future bod-mod goals include implants in her scalp, titanium horns and silicone implants in her forehead. “Wherever you go, people say nasty things to you. But I don’t feel the need to justify myself to anyone."
