This is Iguana Mike, a client of Shawn O’Hare‘s at Charlies House of Tattoos and Body Piercing in Ventura County, CA. What interests me the most about Mike’s (intense) modifications is the asymmetry — I think he’s one of the only people I can think of with such large changes where literal reflective balance has not been an issue.

I definitely see what you mean, Shannon, but at the same time, there’s a certain assymetrical balance to it all. I can live without mirror image – no balance tends to make me twitchy.

I don’t know nearly as much about mods as you do, Shannon, and certainly not about implants, but couldn’t it be that the star was originally straight and then tilted off to one side during healing? I mean, implants do migrate, don’t they?

yeah implants can migrate, maybe he wanted it that way. who knows.
the star though is a huge implant, wow so cool, would prefer somewhere else myself but nevertheless an amazing addition

I definitely don’t mean to imply there’s anything wrong with it, I hope it didn’t read that way! I assumed it was intentional because there are a different number of ridges/horns on each side.

The implants are awesome! I would love to have implants like that someday, depending on where I end up in life. Until then, I love to see new and bold implants. Thank you for posting this!

I think the guy just did some bad work on him. I dont think the guy wanted everything to be off.The transdermals are all off the star is all off and it looks like the ridge had 3 in at one time but cut one out. I might be wrong on that but even if the guy says they are fine im goin to view it as one of them kids that insists their piercing is not rejecting when you can see half the bar exposed

I think it looks intentional….I have no personal experience with implants, but even if it had migrated wouldn’t something that big be somewhat difficult for the body to migrate that far off center without pushing it out of the skin?

I think the fact the his transdermal mohawk goes off to the left side of his head is a sign that the asymmetry is intentional. The transdermals taking a path towards the back left part of his head seem to balance out how far to the right the star is leaning.

I think if shannon would have said it looked messed up alot of thee views would have been different. I just think the guy has not done too much implant work. Cause you look threw his portfolio and will see that coincidently most the people in there must have wanted off center twisted work then. I understand everyone startin off does some worse work and in time gets better and alot of implants tend to go where they want especially on the head but that alot of messed up lookin work to walk around with exposed.

I wonder if the star came after the transdermals. I think if the star was centered there may have been a conflict with the top point and the bottom dermal.

I won’t comment on the work (or outcome of it), each one can just look through the portfolio and make up their own mind.
I’m just curious where he entered with such a big implant and with the mohawk and the side implants already in place…

Even iguana mike knows his mohawk is off. it was discussed at APP. as well as why he removed one of the domes and the incident with pushing too hard he forced the elevator out his scalp. The star is the main thing though i think that bothers me. i seen alot of crooked transdermal mohawks as well as sub horns. hell i have yet to see a perfect straight set of sub horns but the way the star was done in such a visible place so large and not done better then it was. If you are new at some of this work and dont do much i just wish they would stick to shit the person does not have to be criticized for every day of his life is all. i was not knockin the guy or the practioner.

Well, if the microdermal-hawk is off, the star might as well be too! The fact that it’s not symmetrical makes me uncomfortable ,but it’s still very striking.
