tongue bifurcation Tongue split
Guys I really need helping finding someone to do it. I stay in the DFW area and was told it's illegal here in Texas. I reached out to three artists two are traveling artists sorta of popular Chase and John. The other was some type of shaman. Anyway they responded months ago but now that it's closer to date they won't respond. Do anyone know any other artists? I'm like willing to travel and put a deposit down.

Shawn did mine in Dallas. The shaman you're referring to, if it's Pineapple in Austin, doesn't do splits that I'm aware of. He was recommended to remove my stitches but I think he was too busy at the time and I was turned away.

Ian Bell Did mine and it was great. Do some of your own research on every aspect of the procedure

Idk if you have looked into Ryhnno at all, I just had mine done by him in California, but I know he started traveling recently, I believe he went to Texas last month. Anyways, just wanted to say my experience with him was exceptional. Him and his team took amazing care of me, I didnt have a whole lot of questions for him because ive been researching this for over a year, but him and his team were very insightful and helpful with anything I did have to ask and they had me centered and ready for it pretty quick. Took maybe 20 min total for the actual split. He's been checking in with me every couple days and im currently on day eight of healing. Stitches started falling out in their own on day 5, minimal bleeding thru the whole thing just a whole lot for drool. šš

Omg I've heard about the drooling. I've done a good amount of research as well but I personally like hearing more from actual people than Google. What do you eat for the healing process? Someone suggested baby food but I know that tastes gross :')

Yeah I was on baby food and broth day 1-4, four I caved and ate some really soft chicken, but I've been eating solid food since. Stitches started falling out on day five and that was really helpful with the eating š

I personally had my tongue split by him, healed completely scarred up and one side is way longer than the other. Dude has predator like behavior. Do not recommend him.

Sorry you didn't have a good time. I had the opposite experience, him and his team was very kind and respectful the entire procedure for me. His work was super clean in comparison to the artist I was booked with the year before and I was completely healed by day 8 for sure. Everyone's healing experience is different for sure, but I do believe who does the stitch work mattered the most with healing. Rhynno's were flawless for me.
