This is some kind of step up from your average ear lobe.
What do you think? Post tasteful snaps.

Subdermal implants are CRAZY.

there is a guy at my work that has some in his wrists. They are kind of interesting but not something I would ever consider.

They look great. I've always wanted to get one but there is a lot of risk of blood poisoning, varying from mild to extreme risk, depending on what is used. I've heard of silicon being used and that's not exactly a pleasant thought. I have read that there is a body modification artist in the states perfecting the method and making it virtually risk free though.

I hate it.

People heavily into body modification are nuts.... like burning patterns on themselves, or cutting out patterns out of their skin, so when it scabs over there is a permanant pattern..

eek

Branding and scarification are ancient traditions, man.

Absolutely! I think by 'nuts' he means out of his own mindset ;)

Personally it's all good and dandy that you do to your own body, however it sure makes approaching ya lil tougher at times.

implants like that are super fucking irritating. couple of my friends have had them and had nothing but trouble. and they hurt like hell every time you bang them into something.

I think that's your own perception causing someone to look unapproachable man.

Most defiantly, perhaps I'm not as bold as you but a fella with a horns and a burned plaid face isn't my usual type for chitchat. I only wonder what we may have in common. Don't go thinking I shun persons with extra invested into their physical appearance, I simply have not seen many with this type of extreme body modifications.

Well, if you think about it, someone with a personality that is attracted to something as out there as extreme body modification most likely has an interesting conversation up his sleeve regardless of what you have in common. That or he could be a masochistic douchebag and you'll regret the next 20 minutes of your life.

i met the dude with the most tattoos. he'd had his entire body tattooed 3 times over. you could see the different layers of images. he was a total arrogant prick.

tiedye · #13 (**permalink**) Apr 12, 07

Even an arrogant prick can be interesting though... but yeah, I guess my previous comments only apply to people that aren't dicks regardless of their skin.

The silicon they use for subdermal implants is different from the breast-augmentation kind. It's a solid, and medical grade. It won't "leak" like breast implants will.

FYI, they also use teflon, or coat the metal implants with silicon.

And if you want something a little more extreme, there's always Transdermal implants.

^^^ how so?

i wouldn't do these myself (same with scarring) but i don't really see the difference between these & piercings or tattoos.

mekim · #16 (**permalink**) Apr 12, 07

google subdermal implant and learn yerself. it's been around for a long time. it's just not all that common compared to piercing or tattooing.

mekim · #17 (**permalink**) Apr 12, 07

i wouldn't do it to myself either.

i'm still not seeing how it or scarring are any different than piercing or tattooing.

you're just used to seeing every second kid walking down the street with an eyebrow ring and an armband, not screw-on devil horns & twisted braid scars running down their arms.

no-thank-you implants.

That look uncomfortable as hell. Besides it just looks like the person is swollen in a freakisly wierd way.

From what I understand from my discussions with my boss at the time, the silicon is still potentially harmful. It's not leaking so much as it is wearing down over time and it's not exactly bloodstream friendly.
