Bad-ass Brass Knuckle Implants

Earlier today I was looking at some fancy-pants Rhinestone brass knuckles on boingboing. If people think that’s cool, check out Krissy’s implanted silicone brass implants by Joe Amato in Florida. You may also remember Joe as one of the gonzo piercers who brought us eyelid piercing.

The procedure took a few hours (after which Krissy went back to work the same day) with most of the time being spent laying anchor stitches to reduce shifting. Healing was uneventful with some bruising and swelling for the first week. Mederma treatment is starting soon to minimize the insertion scar.

    They probably wouldn’t think it was so cool if somebody punched them with real brass knuckles.
    Violence isn’t cool. If you can’t back up repping it by sporting weapons as body art with fighting ability, you deserve to get your ass kicked by someone who can.

    To everyone that’s just bitching and complaining about how this is gross, disgusting, hideous, stupid, dumb, or whatever the fuck you wanna call it.. I didn’t realize that while living our own lives we had to live up to YOUR expectations. Just because YOU wouldn’t do it on your own body does not give you the right to bash people who would. Nothing pisses me off more in this world than close minded people that believe that everyone who isn’t like them or doesn’t think like them is fucked up and wrong. THAT, my friends, is what is disgusting in this world. Not facial piercings, tattoos, or body implants. Times have changed and trends change as well, just because people weren’t doing this in your day and age doesn’t mean that you should be shitting on people that do it now. Get with the times and realize that you’re fucking old and that’s why you don’t like it. Where do you get off telling people that something they love is ugly and disgusting? People who give people shit about body art irritates me just as much as when a nonsmoker tries telling me how bad smoking is… no shit, buddy. I clearly know and I clearly don’t give a shit because it makes me happy. Why can’t everyone just focus on worrying about their own happiness and the happiness of others through acceptance rather than going “omg! i would never do that so I have to tell this person how stupid they are!” Seriously, this is like fucking high school drama. Also, this girl has A LOT of balls for doing this. The fact that you’re going to hide behind a computer screen and act all big and bad makes you look like a fucking immature high schooler. Grow up immediately please.

    I agree completely with Sid. Not everyone that’s old is as close-minded as these fuckers though. My gran’s 85 and she’s never said anything against my tats or piercings. I think older ppl are more inclined to not understand it than just saying, “You’re fucking stupid for doing that.” Older ppl have asked me why about some of my tattoos and piercings. Especially the microdermals on my arms and my gauges (1/2 inch). Only one person has been a bitch to me about having my lip pierced (Only body piercing I had at the time.) That was my high school teacher when I was 14. She said my lipring looked “disgusting” then had the gall to send me to vice principal’s office cos I told her, “Then don’t look at it.” But that’s dumbasses for ya. I like it and that’s what counts. I do it for me, not for you. I don’t give a fuck if anyone else likes it. It’s MY body. Just like it’s HER body. Everyone else can fuck off!

    Can you sleep on your side, with your chest collapsing gently in the center, shoulders forward or is that uncomfortable? What about a seatbelt riding up and rubbing over it or getting jerked tight when suddenly applying the breaks in a car? I think it’s cool, but might end up being bothersome, but you have guts and it looks good on you.

    I was thinking on doing something like this, but with an Amethyst stone, then get a tattoo around it.
    It looks great!
    How much did it cost?
