That right there? That is just one cold fancy piece of custom jewelry, put into place by Vern K. at Stay Gold in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

That would be so hard to clean. I think it would look even better from further away.

I think this is pretty cool. I just think the ear pointing gone wrong spoils it a bit.
I think all the blood, which people are mentioning, is because the peircing is fresh and
they have had to mess around putting this in instead of normal jewellery which would have
agrovated the holes more. I done see that this would be that hard to heal, its just like healing
a few piercings at once, if he just takes extra care and cleans it more often I think it would be ok.
But I cant help thinking it would be easier and less painful to do the piercings first, let them heal and then
put this jewellery in, oh well.

Nic: “Cleaning it more often” is not really required. Caring and tending for it and your body is all that is required.
Interesting concept, etc. Just hope that much work in that localized area, doesn’t produce more swelling then normal, or that the individual does something to promote swelling (dehydration, poor diet,etc), as that could lead to something very nasty.
Kudo’s to Vern for being so meticulous with everything.

anyone have any idea if the piercer or person who had this done is on IAM? that fuckin huge hole up at the top of there ear is really make me wonder of all the possibilties of what it went threw….
as for the piercing…. eh, thats just too much to take on in 1 area in 1 sitting… coulda gone a way less painful route and better healing wise if theyd done it in sections or at dif times. probably would turn out with better results that way but to each their own

not really my taste, but I can appreciate it. however my eye cant help but be drawn to the blood splatter, and the ear pointing?/failed helix? and question the healing ability of this, especially if all fresh piercings

Don’t like that at all, looks a total mess, and its going to be horrible to heal. I doubt it will heal.

love it!!

having been reciever of negative critic here before just let me say. this looks like a really nice idea. not really practical or sustainable in my opinion. but again. thats just my opinion. but it would explain the photograph it now, not show it later mentality that modblog tends to breed. but i do wish the wearer lots of luck and kudos for wanting to be original.

Oh wow I haven’t check here in a few days didn’t know this got put up here. Anyways to answer some of the questions, yea the pic was taken right after I did it and I have pics from the day after that look a lot cleaner. The hole is where he wore a larger gauge piece of jewelry (8g or 6g) that was taken out. It was done on a person that has had several heavy mods done and is my area so that if he has any issues he can stop in and get them taken care of . As far as putting the jewelry in it takes a lot of pre planning. All 5 bars go to the center ball with the gem that can be changed to any 1.2 mm threaded end. The center ball is made by me.

kind of novelty, not very practical for wear. It almost looks like this person had some kind of ear shaping procedure?
