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.

    I don’t damage my body unless training, but this is against faux pas, controversial, offensive, brash, extreme… if it was me I would probably implant a genuine brass knuckles that had seen a few beatings/deaths, but regardless… the sheer nerve to present that to this schmuck society is inspirational…

    LOVE IT!

    Screw the mainstream! Fuck the system! Awesome! ^-^

    You know what? I like it. I think it looks good.
    It’s only one person, they’re not metal. People who post something closeminded and mean, not to mention just unintelligent, are obviously the ones who need help, not the people who encourage creativity like tattoos and implants. Leading me back to the neverending question:

    IF YOU HATE CREATIVITY SO MUCH WHY ARE YOU ON THIS WEBSITE, AND WHY DID YOU TAKE THE TIME TO TYPE OUT A MESSAGE THAT WILL JUST PISS OTHER PEOPLE (who like creativity) OFF?

    Just my opinion.
    I still think the knuckles look good. And all of your “omg, why would someone do something aweful like that to them selves” can go to some anti-tattoo/implant forum somewhere, I don’t really want to see it here, on a site that encourages self-expression.

    I still think they look good. I still think that a person’s goal in life is not to be “Fuckable” or even attractive, it’s to look like themselves, however that looks, and to make themselves comfortable in their own skin. Brass knuckle shaped implants? Penis or vagina tattoos? Piercings in places that make old women cry? Amputations? A butterfly carved into your forehead? Go for it, if that’s what you want.

    I still think they look good. The haters don’t change my mind.

    Where are you people from? Lemme guess. WAY down south where there is no cable TV or paved roads or anything like that. Subdermal implant (that’s what this is called) procedures have been around for over FOURTEEN YEARS!! That’s probably longer than half of these posters have been alive. As has been said repeatedly in this forum already, if you don’t like it, YOU DON’T HAVE TO FUCKING LOOK AT IT!! Go away and leave other people to their own decisions. And just to clarify, they are SOLID silicone, they cannot burst, won’t set off a metal detector, and are 100% removable. In fact, any body-mod artist will tell you, implants are easier to remove than they were to put in.

    That is AMAZING. I’d never have the guts to do it myself though. Kudos to you! And to all of you pessimistic eejits, it’s her personal choice–or do you believe that women actually all people for that matter shouldn’t have control over their own bodies?–and I completely agree with Marina there. It’s not sick, it’s art.

    I’m sorry, am I the only one who thinks that scar is way too big and obvious?

    Reputable surgeons try to hide the scar, or make the incision in a place where it isn’t visible. In this case, there is an obvious scar across the front of her chest. It doesn’t take much to put two and two together to figure out “Oh, that disfigurement on her sternum was likely forcefully inserterted through this jagged hole.”

    I guess you’ll only ever be as smart and successful as the people you associate yourself with. Since she’s hanging out on myspace, she will likely find approval from someone else who wants to shamelessly mangle himself so she’ll like him.

    Like this guy. Go eyelid piercing. =/
