The owner of 'Dr Evils Body Modification Emporium' has appeared in court today accused of mutilating his clients.

Brendan McCarthy or self proclaimed 'Mac 'Dr Evil' McCarthy' faces three counts of causing serious injury relating to consensual piercing and body modifying at his shop in Wolverhampton, West Midlands.

The charges relate to the removal of a client's ear, removal of a client's nipple and tongue splitting procedures.

McCarthy of Morton Road, Bushbury, appeared before magistrates in Walsall only to confirm his name, age and address.

The 47-year-old , whose salon is also known as 'Punctured Body Piercing & Modification', faces three counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and three alternative counts of wounding without intent.

The alleged offences are said to have taken place between August 2012 and July 2015.

The business owner is due to return to Wolverhampton Crown Court on March 3.

That he is still getting customers after accidentally cutting off someone's ear is astounding.

@sbc: I'm not sure that there was anything accidental about this, but details are sketchy.

In this [Link] it seems that he's being prosecuted for not following some kind of 'medical procedures'. We'll have to wait and see what actually happened as more details emerge, but as it stands, I wouldn't be surprised if the people who had these things done went into his shop and asked for these 'modifications' of their own accord.

It's very typical of our toxic culture these days.

Thomas C I'd have to agree that the procedures noted in the article are 'common' in those circles.

I've seen both good and bad results from the tongue splitting procedure. Infection is tough to fight but once healed the split tongue has a marked effect on everyone around.

Something LindaMay needs to experience herself perhaps?

I think LindaMay's reaction and response is natural and healthy, and a reassuring sign that there are still people who haven't been poisoned by the pervasive effects of cultural Marxism.

Body modification is certainly an ancient practice and may have been with us forever, but the devil is in the details and what is regarded as pleasing to the eye and advantageous to one's social position are specific to the cultural milieu that one is a part of.

The dyeing of ones eyes, removal of body parts, tattoos on the hands and face, piercings and suchlike, in today's culture of body-modification are done to be provocative and to make one stand out among others and trigger disgust reactions, rather than being ritualised rights of passage, done to enhance one's connection to his or her society.

So it all depends on what kind of 'marked effect' we want to have on everyone around, and why we want that.

Thank You Thomas C.

Every word you wrote was intelligent.

LindaMay Yes, a good assessment of the phenomenon. I don't think it's culture though. Human culture , all the philosophy about our lives existed in books for centuries. Our failure to pay close attention to what these books wrote is just one of the reasons of our moral decay. We had music and all of a sudden there isn't good music to listen to. Good movies were made in the past and today there's none. Only what I call these "fast-food" movies, that you need a bottle of wine and some appetizers in a home theater kind of space in order to stomach. So we are left with what ?

Useless gadgets. Even the auto industry is rolling backwards. Everything is rolling backwards.
