It looks gross. Why would someone want to inject that into their arms??

Well, millions of gals stuff stuff into their boobs every year.

It must be another acquired taste.  I just can't comprehend arms that look like that being regarded as attractive.

It’s mental illness, plain and simple, and should be labeled as such.

He's no different then the guys that abuse steroids and get worshipped by the muscle fetish queens here. Bigerexia is all the same thing.

Can’t the same be said about most body modifications?

To me, there's a world of difference between a facelift or a similar procedure that (hopefully) looks natural and poses minimal risk and pumping your biceps full of a dangerous substance to achieve grotesque proportions.

I was referring to extreme body mods…scarification, mutilation, and extreme piercings and tattoos

Oops, I misunderstood, my bad.  You mean like this? (referring to pic below)  Yeah, I agree up to a point.  The Russian bodybuilder took it to such an extreme, though, by pumping himself up with a dangerous substance.  While I find these face tattoos and extreme piercings quite ugly, the guy in the picture didn't do anything to endanger his health.

Very true.  But I wonder if the motivation is much different?
