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.

Oh, its also nice that anyone who has ANYTHING bad to say doesn’t even have a IAM. Know anything at all? Probably not. Another reason why the comments should be for IAM member only…*sigh*

Yes, Spinknas, everyone that says your piercing is disgraceful is “completely ignorant to anything/everything.” I used to work at a reputable shop for dedicated piercers, so I am quite aware of what sterility is all about. From my time spent in Thunder Bay, I know Creation is a clean shop, not “rockstar” at all as they perform standard piercings with a humble attitude, and that local people come into that shop to tell the staff horror stories about Central. Perhaps it is heresay, but this is a forum, and we are all entitled to our opinions. Lastly, I do have IAM, but since I don’t wish to deal with your teenage drama, I chose to remain anonymous. Have fun with those scars, don’t get your watch caught ;).

oh my god, you people are so immature. people can all have their own opinions about shops. i personally dislike a very reputable shop because of the rudeness of the counter people. does that mean i sit around talking shit about the shop? no. note that i didn’t even mention their name here. its a cool mod. so what if it scars? any piercing can potentially go bad and scar. surface piercings are unstable, and most people getting the piercings are aware of the fact. why not enjoy the piercing while it lasts?

To avoid needless confrontation, I would like to add that no one from Creation Body Piercing has actually commented on this forum. I know the entire staff there, past and present, and none of them have commented on this forum. You are right, Spinknas, I HAVE never set foot in Central, and props to the staff who have commented in a mature manner but people, ESPECIALLY in Thunder Bay, like to talk shit. I do, too

tbayers do LOVE their shit talk… 😉

I like how this looks 🙂 I’d be willing to get one. But the thing I thought of first was how I’d have to make sure the watch was waterproof, becasue unscrewing it every time I want to shower or wash my hands would be a pain.
Looks great, though!

You must think your pretty special for knowing the staff. Really, you’ve almost got the same attitude as they do. You have no reason to say ANYTHING about Central if you’ve never set foot in the shop. We are cleaner and safer than ANY tattoo OR piercing shop in town. Really, it mostly pathetic that people like you start and continue the rumour about the shop being closed. Ever contact the health unit? Ever hear it from a newpaper? Didn’t think so. You know, we hear alot of horror stories from Creations, almost all about that fat bitch. But do we start shit? No, we continue to say good things about them. So you obviously still have no idea what your talking about, you don’t want am IAM because of the “teenage drama” (which of course as everyone knows is what it is all about) then stop taking part of this. Its really ridiculous. Grow the fuck up.

I am not talking shit at any point in my posts. I am from Thunder Bay. I am only stating fact and defending the truth.
Electrolarynx, you make statements like “Have fun with those scars”, which any informed or intelligent person will tell you that any piercing especially surface piercings will leave a scar when removed. If you are making these statements to appeal to an uninformed audience, please be aware of the location and manner in which you are posting. This is a body modification site, where the focus is on information, and you are posting anonymously.
And to whoever posted that gearfuse thing… perhaps reading all the way through a paragraph would allow you to find the correct information. There are several mistakes in your write-up.

I am special, and the fat bitch doesn’t work at Creation anymore.

LOL nice… all that trouble to permanently attach a $4.00 Claire’s boutique watch to your arm. At least save up for a Tag… or even a Fossil 🙂

I didn’t read all the comments above, because by the look of the last couple it just turned into a mindless flamewar somewhere mid-thread. You’ll just have to excuse me if this has been mentioned before.
As cool as the StS piercings are, I really think this was a bad way to implement this. Granted, the wearer gained a few points in my book for being one hardcore SOB with a pain tolerance on par with a rhino, but as several of the few good comments near the top mentioned, this piercing will have serious issues with snagging on things, and eventually rejection and/or infection due to them never healing properly and staying gooey inside all the time.
IMHO, a subdermal magnet (or pair of magnets) would have been much cooler. Then you’d be able to pop the wrist strap off of almost any watch, and toss it up there. If it snags on something, it’d just pop free. Plus, you’d be able to mount more than just a wristwatch there at that point. Imagine a magnetic mount-point for your iPod/Cellphone/Pocketknife/anything-you-can-stick-in-an-Altoids-tin. How about a whole arm done in small evenly spaced subdermal magnets? Extensible human, anyone? Get a few people together like that, and you could form Voltron!
OK, so maybe that’s taking the idea a bit far, but you get the idea.
Still, this gives one hell of a “wow” factor.

I want one!!! I didn’t think this was actually practised but my friend has wanted to make me a watch to attach to my piercing ever since I got it six months ago! Haha I can’t believe it’s really done. Woopla :]

Even though I have removed all of my piercings (professional reasons) this does look pretty damn sweet. If its is a fake; good job, if it isn’t ; good job. And to all of you self-richeos body modders, get over yourselves. This isnt high school. Nobody cares if you have 1.25′s in your ears and implants in your arms with a star shaped nape piercing. Except your mothers who will kick your ass for ruining the body they provided for you. *hugs and kisses

This guy will have fun with his little watch piercing until he catches it on something and rips it off of his arm.

Good Ol’ Thunder Bay X2!
Hit the Hoito, and then Kanga’s Saunas! That’ll get awfully hot, since one can’t take it off when the temp starts to rise.

That’s so nerdy…it’s not even a stylish watch. And with any watch, the band is a big part of what makes it look good.
But I guess it’s good for impressing people on the internet…

Isn’t that watch too big? To attach such a big thing to skin seems not smart.

You wouldn’t think a watch would get so many links. It looks quite good, though it probably would of worked better if the actual watch was a bit smaller and slimmer in design, to save snags and weight.

Spinknas, you comment about only IAM members being able to post is ridiculous. Not everyone can shell out the extra money to buy an account. And people ARE ALLOWED to have their own opinions. If you can’t handle that, go elsewhere or don’t read the comments.

if you have a camera or the ability to type it’s pretty easy to get on iam and stay there for free.

That’s insane, I’ll check it out but Thunder Bay is so remote. That’s just crazy and it must hurt

I had to read this story again because I didn’t think for a second that anyone in Thunder Bay would do this. I knew for a fact that Creations would not do this type of modification. And as far as Central being cleaner than Creations – please remember that Creations set the standard for shops in the Thunder Bay area. They may not longer be able to say they are the only place to go in Thunder Bay but they are the most trusted. Have there been so called horror stories from Creations – sure, I have no doubt BUT for what reasons did the story sprout from – the lack of aftercare, the way the peircing was done or people got pissed at the prices? Remember that it is up to the peircee to make sure the peircing stays healthy.
So what – you have your preference of where you want to get peirced and tattooed – all cool, you can do it where you want to. I have not heard many good stories from Central but then again I choose Creations because they were the people I started with and will continue with because I trust them.
As far as having IAM only comments on here – I am on IAM and have been for many years and the reason why I don’t link my page to this site is because I would rather not have public access to my page. Personal reasons. If you belong to IAM then you can type in Super Muffin to see who I am.
And calling people names (i.e.: fat bitch) is so classy. Remember that as a person that trusts a certain shop – if you want to promote how good they are, you might want to act is some kind of professional manner. A body modification shop is only as good as the customers that they have. And having big mouthed people like you makes the shop look like a dump.
All in all – a waech attached to you – interesting idea that will never fly.
