Shaved Head Implants

PBurke:
always go with the lady's opinion, especially if she is your wife.

Noner:
That's almost as bad as a guy who gets pectoral implants.

Some days I just want to slap everyone!

Vash:
I'm all for personal expression and physical manipulation, but that just sounds dumb. I am very interested and into body modification, tattoos, piercing, implants, branding, suspension, you name it. I really appreciate anyone who is willing to exercise their own personal control over what their body will look like.

At the same time I tend to think of anyone who does any of the “cosmetic surgery” type modification (including hair plugs and whatnot) as just being “vain”, while I don’t think that about someone who is heavily tattooed or pierced.

I have sat in the waiting room of a piercing studio with a guy waiting for magnetic implants for his hand, a girl getting her genitals pierced for the 3rd time, another guy getting a check up after having his tongue split a couple of weeks before and were discussing how “The Enigma” had just had ball bearings implanted under his scalp to give him the appearance of “horns” (Just another step in a LOOONG line of body mod for that guy). When this small group of trust fund mall crawlers teetered in on their high heels asking in giggling voices about having their navels pierced “I mean like, does it hurt?...like, a lot?”.

One of the girls had obviously very very fake breasts and after she left the whole group rolled their eyes and we all commented on her boob job (in a critical, why would you DO that kind of way). Then we all paused... looked around at each other, taking in where we were sitting, looking from tattoos to nose rings and so on and started to laugh.

Body mod is body mod, some of us choose to use it to conform less to standard cultural stereotypes, some use it to become MORE like the current media norm. But we all use it to try and look the way WE want to look. To each his own.

All that having been said, I still think implanted stubble is just dumb. But I guess if you have enough surplus cash, you are free to do any dumb thing you like.

That made me laugh, but it must have been an odd moment for people in that room.

OK I just laughed again. That was a great story, that sounds like it could be in a movie or on South Park. Thanks for sharing.

LOL!  Well said and exactly what I was thinking!
