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.

    Y’know… This really doesn’t strike me as interesting.. I just don’t really see anything eyepopping or thought-evolking about a brass knuckle implant in the chest. Now, if it was something like a sun cutout, or a tatoo with an implant underneath it, like a ying-yang symbol, I think it would be much more interesting.

    Props on the idea, though. Just not my cup of tea.

    Stop hating. The worst label is the one in which we bash on someone else to make us feel better about ourselves. Be what you wanna be. I wanna be a poser, so I am. Try to test that, you’re gonna get served!

    I think this is beautiful.

    Pointless, yes. But how many millions of people get un-necessary breast implants, calf implants, hair implants or various other not so taboo implants? All of which are equally pointless, but if that is what you want then you have every right to do it

    Don’t let the close minded bother you. I think it’s amazing that you can look down and know you’re living your life how you want.

    It’s not necessarily something I would personally do, but it’s beautiful and I give think it deserves a lot of respect.

    seriously, why would someone do this? who cares if its hardcore or straight edge? i mean when your 30 years old and starting a family you are not going to want to have brass knuckles in side of your skin. and probably, with adolences trying to attempt this one their own are going to end up killing them selves due to not knowing what they are doing. this is probably one of the most disgusting things ive ever seen people do. piercings were bad enough but now implanting something? this is plain out disgusting. trends now are getting worst by the second. THIS IS NOT SEXY ONE BIT, ESPCIALLY AS YOU GROW OLDER THIS IS JUST GOING TO GET IN THE WAY AND MAKE YOU ANGRY! WHOEVER STARTED THIS HAS A VERY VERY SICK MIND.
