3-D implants

[Colin]

So i occasionally borwse through body modification style websites and more and more frequently I have been coming across a body mod called Implanting.

the following two pictures are examples, but some two of he relatively tame ones...

It's definitely not for me, but thoughts??

[killer69penguin]

damn that sure is new, im sure it will probally become fairly popular like tatoos in the coming years but im with you definatly not for me

[STiSchucky]

gross as hell!

Usually when you get stuff like that on your arm, you'd go to the doctor to have them removed.

That bottom one looks cool but,not for me. I wanna know is how they get it around your arm.

[amicheze]

That's hideous.

[assasain]

ya i've seen them before... freakin wierd

[Colin]

this is a surgical process, the go completely subdermal and insert silicon/titanium/teflon pieces.

Retarded.

I imagine if you got punched in the arm with the implant in it would hurt worse then falling into a volcano.

I've always found the stuff on BME quite interesting. Not necessarily something I'd do but for some reason the culture interests me.

In my past I was DEEPLY in to body modification, I am still interested in the culture and I am still in to it, but I'm not nearly as deep in to it as I used to be. I am a member of iam.bme and I know a LOT of the people that are in the more extreme pictures on that site.

As for the implants they are nothing new by any means and they won't become mainstream like tattoos/piercings have.

They are a surgical procedure where the area is cut open with a scalpel and a "pocket" is created. If the pocket is too small there will painful tearing, if it is too big then the implant will float freely in the area and won't turn out the way the client wants it. The implant is slid into place and the area is stitched shut. The problem with these subdermal implants is the possible negative effect on nerve and muscle tissue. There is something putting pressure on them that isn't supposed to be. A lot of the subdermal implants are poorly thought out and poorly placed and, yes, a lot of them are removed due to damage caused by them.

If you are truely interested in this kind of stuff then ask me anything, if I don't know the answer I definately know where to find it.

Interesting fact as long as we are on this subject. Anesthetic is illegal to own or use unless you are a doctorr. Yes, there are ways of getting it, but, because of the mindset of a lot of the people in the body modification culture about 80% of the implant pictures (or other "surgical" procedures you see on BME) were done with a clear mind and no anesthetic.

Oh, and when I say deeply involved I mean notice the guy with implants in his arms pulling on the fresh hooks in my back (august 2002). (thumb)

You're fucking crazy.

same exact thought.....:)

[darkelvis]

that was also 5 years ago, things have changed a little since then. Although I still have a couple bags of hooks sitting upstairs.
