After tiring of piercing, tattoos, and implants about three years ago, they began exploring much heavier surgical modifications.
Dave had spent two and a half years in pre-med at Queens University in Kingston, and using contacts made both there and online he and his twin brother have changed themselves in ways far beyond anything anyone else has ever attempted.
