some practical purposes for this:
you can set 3 glasses down on your arm now.
gives your rescuer something to grip when you're dangling from the edge of a rooftop. not that you're the type to hang out on rooftops. much.
you can be an octopus for halloween.

An old friend of mine had a band member who was very into this, to the point where he had those teflon beads inserted under the skin in his penis so that it had permanent ridges like a French Tickler. Ugh. I just don't get it. I must not be "enlightened"or something I guess. Crap.

*edited to avoid confusion*

yeah, implants are rediculous crap.

no more confusion.

i don't understand. sort of looks like ringworms to me.

NSFW.














Not always crap.




But most of the time........



crap.

I maintain my stance that this sort of "body modification" (and, for that matter, almost all body modifications) is(/are) 100% absolutely, mindwrenchingly attention-staved crap. You say it takes balls to permanently change your life by putting ball bearings in your face; I say it takes brains to realize you'll look like a fucking clown if you do.

Of course, this isn't all about "looking like a fucking clown." I think sex-change operations are totally fine, even though a lot of the time they make you look pretty bizarre and change your life a lot, because there is a genuinity and heart-felt feeling behind the choice. I cannot think of any way to justify getting rings put in your arm except "People will look at it and say, whao, you have some rings in your arm."

Go ahead and put shit inside of your skin. You have the right. Meanwhile, I maintain the right to laugh at your ass for doing it. Crap.

I agree with all of the above comments. That's why I recommend against any body modifications which do not, you know, do stuff.

Any kind of Cyberpunk type implants, James Bond kind of shit, little dart shooters underneath your skin: these are what body modification was meant for.

But a couple of rings, that's just lame.

I voted Not Crap, but only because The Lizard Man, who tours with Jagermeister, is fucking badass.
