A la the pierced eyeglasses, here’s a pierced watch that Spinknas had done with 14ga surface piercings by Peter and Brad at Central Body Art in chilly Thunder Bay, Ontario.

- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body— they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.

Totally awesome, wish it could be viable.

I love the fact that I can ALWAYS find something that I’ve never seen before on BME… and this is such a beautiful example of where body modification is going. Extreme stuff is very cool, but simple things like this can be just as amazing. Infact I was thinking of tattooing a watch on my wrist with the hands at 4:20….

i like that idea a lot.

This is the coolest thing i’ve seen in a long time. Very ingenius. Although, i would imagine, the watch face wouldn’t be able to be worn for extended periods of time. Unless this person didn’t want to keep the piercing for long.

That is going to get caught on everything, but it looks awesome as a temp piercing.

This piercing, though it looks pretty cool to the uncaring eye, exemplifies poor judgement on the part of the piercer and recipient. Uhh, did they autoclave the watch before screwing it down next to open wounds? I am decidedly NOT a fan of temporary, impractical piercings simply for the sake of a few photo ops and publicity for what might be a crappy shop.

To me it looks fake..

Is there any verification that this is actually pierced? It looks kind of like a prototype sitting on flesh…not in flesh.

looks fake to me too, anyone can take a watch and glue a few barbells to the ends and stick it on there wrist to make it look like a piercing.

The piercing is NOT fake. I have other pictures but they are from a bad camera [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/spinknas/f5.jpg[/IMG]

The watch was also soaked in viroxx to clean it before it was pierced. The shop is in no way a “crappy” shop as electrolarynx stated. It didn’t reject and the watch was mounted with the original piercing.

it may look fake – but there have been others out of central that have been real. speaking as someone who is from thunder bay who has SEEN this type of piercing, from central, in real life – they have no reason to send in a fake photo.

I swear I’ve seen this done afew times before, looks cool regardless though.
I’ve wanted to do something like that since I was about 8, until I found out more about piercing and learned it probably wouldn’t last.

i still think this is just sitting on the surface, till i see some better pictures of it anyway.

Katt : I agree that Central isn’t the best place to get pierced now. But I was there for the first year and a half that they were open and durring that time it was NEVER closed for health board violations. In fact the health board used to use my facilities to train their inspectors on how to recognize a CLEAN shop.
I know Matt at Creations personally, we have been friends for close to a decade, he is an great piercer, but his shop seems to be doing like so many and slipping into the “rockstar” attitude.
Some of the watches were left in a chemical soak, whereas some were dismantled and the rear cover autoclaved.

there is another picture of a watch piercing.
And for those of you that think these were done just for kicks, most of them lasted several MONTHS some almost a year before being removed. If you have any questions as to the procedures and practices used feel free to IM me on iam and I can answer any questions you have.

I love how some people, “Katt” for instance, are completely ignorant to anything/ everything. Im sure she has never even set foot in Central or she would know that it is MUCH cleaner than Creations. We have never said one bad thing about them, ever. Why start shit if you don’t know anything? You don’t even belong in the Mod industry, obviously should not be posting either. Get your facts straight before talking bullshit. If your just some stupid bitch at Creations your in for a talking tomorrow. You guys are all very fucking sad. Get something better to do than create false rumours about people who take more precautions to protect customers than you ever would. Get a fucking life.
