Today’s young generation is becoming more adventurous in stuff like body modifications, but on the other hand they are also increasingly turning to more dangerous, far riskier things never before imagined. One trend becoming more popular in the body mod scene these days is trepanning, or the act of drilling a hole into our skull and allowing it to heal over.
Ryoichi Keroppy Maeda, the man responsible for promoting the “Bagelhead” movement, and body mod expert, said the process dates back more than 8,000 years. He said that it could still be a bridge too far for extreme modding.
The body mod expert even makes the prediction that trepnation is simply the first step, and that new modification of the brain of the skull is coming in the future.
Keroppy Maeda added: “Humans started trepanning millennia ago. Why would they do this? I’ve been told it expands your mind. Elevating our consciousness.”
They did it to relese the headache-causing evil spirits that were trapped in their heads.

So, how did it work out for them? There is a reason the cultures that actually advanced stopped doing retarded shit like sticking pointy things into their faces.

It works, it reduces cranial over-pressure and improves bloodflow. Not everyone needs to do it, but chronic migraine sufferers sometimes benefit from it. When the brain swells, pressure can be dangerous, the usual practice is to remove part of the skull, temporarily or sometimes permanently to return pressure to normal and allow healing. People doing it to themselves isn't a new thing. There was a documentary on people in Canada doing it in the early 90s, it is nothing to do with body modification faggots.

The people that did it back then did it to stop chronic headache and seizures.
Did it work well for them? Most died within a few days
