Body Piercer Sliced Off Own Finger With Bolt Cutters and Turned it Into a Pendant
Metro (U.K.) ^ | Thursday 15 Feb 2018 | Georgia Diebelius

A body piercer who sliced off her own finger because it ‘looks cute’ has turned the severed limb into a pendent.

Torz Reynolds decided to cut off her little finger with bolt cutters on Valentine’s Day last year after wanting to do it for a decade.

After keeping the stump in the freezer next to a bag of peas for 365 days, Torz decided to mark the occasion by immortalising the frozen finger as a pendant necklace.

The 30-year-old body modifier bought a glass vial, filled it with alcohol solution and dunked the detached digit inside attached to a chain so it wouldn’t waste away in the freezer.

Boyfriend Xav also presented Torz with a collection of tiny hats to dress her stump, which she has affectionately named Wiggles.

Torz, from Colchester, Essex, said: ‘I forgot it [the finger] was there. It was in the freezer next to my frozen peas.

‘You don’t want to waste it so why not turn it into a necklace?

‘I made the necklace on Wiggles’ birthday (February 14). I’ll pick and choose where I wear it – I wouldn’t wear it at work – but it will definitely be a new favourite in my free time.

‘I thought a necklace would be the easiest thing to make and I wanted to do something to mark Wiggles’ first birthday.’

Torz now plays dress-up with Wiggles, decorating the stump with one of 15 kids’ toy hats including a stetson, a viking helmet, a hard hat and a red baseball cap.

She said: ‘The hats were a present from my boyfriend for Wiggles’ birthday. I thought it was brilliant, they look like they’re the Village People.

‘A lot of people have said they’re awesome – everyone knows I don’t take anything seriously.’

Torz was inspired to chop her pinky finger off after one of her friends took the plunge. She added that she would often practise bending her finger back to see if she could live without it.

She said: ‘I thought it was really cute. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and decided to do it. ‘Xav and I had a nice dinner and then I chopped it off, I numbed it first so it wasn’t too bad. I wasn’t sure if I could live without it but I can.

‘It hasn’t changed anything – I love it, it’s so cute.

It gets worse.

First get a large bottle of your favorite adult beverage. Then Google image search her name.

Quickly change search to cute kittens.

Consume entire bottle of adult beverage. Then kill your computer.

Never could see the sense of piercing and fixing pieces of metal to the skin.

Are you kidding? First meeting would be like:

Me: “Hi, nice to meet you. What happened to your finger?”

Her: “I cut it off. I’m wearing it around my neck.”

Me: “Well, bye.”

It’s even cooler to be woman with a penis. Obviously you are not that cool.

These body modifiers are truly mentally ill.

I was on a flight from New York City to Los Angeles last September and while waiting in the terminal for the flight I heard young girl tell her mother that she doesn’t like that clown. I had no idea what she was talking about at that time.

Later on the flight I saw seated toward the back a man who had his faced tattooed as a clown and his hair also done up as a clown-like tuft that was dyed a bright red. Utterly creepy.

I feel for anyone who had to sit next to him on the flight.

that person should not own an AR15 as she is mentally challenged and self destructive....not to worry folks, she’ll likely get an out control staph infection from all the fishing lures on her face. My guess is that she has been abused to some degree earlier in her life

Did you notice she said other people are doing it, too? She’s not the only one who is nuts?!
