 Apropos of, um, your avatar -- Dr. Nick Riviera, maybe?

 OK, did a bit of googling.  Seems that body piercers and those who perform other modifications do the slicing and stiching.  There are some really gross images out there.  Why people feel the need to cut, mutilate, modify, stetch, and poke themselves is beyond me.
Here's a mild image.  Kind of creepy.  The most disturbing image had to do with fingernail modifications.  Yes, it appears that they cut the skin away and extended the finger nail area back to the area of the first knuckle.  I had to look it away, I was getting queasy.
Too much of a chicken to get a tattoo of my own.
Edited to remove queasy image.  See post #5774 for a link if you are really curious.  WARNING:  The images are quite disturbing.  Sorry if I offended anyone.
