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.

I actually know the person who has that done, It’s rather cool to see in person too

The “horror stories” really had nothing to do with cleanliness, but the insufficient level of training that the piercers at Central received and some of the questionable practices of the studio. Also, I am well aware that surface piercings scar, I have had a few of those myself, but there is a FUCKING WATCH attached to it. That maybe just might contribute to some unnessesary ugliness on the wrist.
All in all, this piercing is right skid.

10 to 1 the person with the “piercing” rips it out or HAS ripped it out within a week. That is, if the crappy Claire’s jewely hasn’t turned his arm green and caused some serious metal poisoning in those fresh piercings.

You know, the people doing and receiving this piercing are probably WELL AWARE that it won’t last – the comments the piercer has posted give that much away.
If someone wants to do these things, why the fuck shouldn’t they?
It saddens me that all this political bullshit has flooded an entry logging an interesting and novel idea. Body modification is FUN! Some of the people posting here are just getting far too bitchy and stressed over the whole affair.. chill the fuck out, yeah?

People coming from other sites that aren’t into BM very much just don’t understand. Someone said something about using magnets. Anyone that read Shannon’s story with the magnets would know that’s not such a great idea.

Not to mention that magnets strong enough to hold a watch in place without assistance would probably affect its ability to function correctly to some degree, would it not?

Wow, gotta love the maturity of people sometimes. I come on here to enjoy the posts on bodymods, this is a novel though obviously temporary one. Not something I’d choose since I can’t even stand wearing a regular wristwatch but it does look attractive. However instead of seeing comments actually discussing the picture shown a bunch of idiots decide to start arguing about what piercing studio is the best? Now I’ve never been to Thunder Bay so I know nothing about either shop, but what I do know is that you’ve all made yourselves look like a bunch of squabbling middle school students (I have to deal with them enough at work I don’t need to deal with them online as well).

Eh, not impressed. “we dunked the watch parts in anti-microbial/bacterial stuff?” whatever…that should last about 3 minutes once they leave the shop. I look forward to the day when we actually have a viable method for attaching other non-natural parts to the human body, but until then I still lump these types of piercings in with “Wouldn’t it be cool if..” catagory. The problem is that people all over the place(the linkage is Crazy on this entry) are going to see this and not understand that scarring is part of the ‘fun’. Nor are they going to grasp that its more about the photo op and “wow” factor than about the piercings being viable on a long term basis.

Shannon, PLEASE could you consider only letting IAM members comment. I’m not currently a member, but I’ll join when I get round to it.
Ten dollars per SIX MONTHS. If you can afford a computer, you can afford that. Quit smoking or something. Everyone wants something for nothing these days, and it disgusts me. Shannon etc. work very hard to run BME, so I support BMEshop and will be glad to pay for an account.
As I’ve said, there are enough free places for trolls and other morons to congregate on the interweb. They don’t understand reasoned argument and never will… they simply ruin it for everyone else.

Fucking stupid. Anyone should be allowed to comment. And comments are monitored anyway.
If you can’t take the heat, stay outta the kitchen.

Oh come on, how many posts get like this anyway? You want to limit how many people can post here to those who can afford to buy an IAM account for something that happens once every couple of months at the most. As much as I hate how this post has degenerated into a bunch of trolling I think restricting posts would be an overreaction to a relatively rare event. Maybe you don’t visit that many other blogs and forums but the amount of trolling modblog gets is on the level of minor irritation to most other blogs and forums with the type of traffic modblog gets. Doesn’t make it right or fun but puts in in perspective. Limiting discourse is not the answer to the problem, it just reinforces the belief that there must be something wrong with the body mod community that we have close out those who are on the outside.

Okay, this will be my first post at MODBLOG – i am a non-IAM member. I occasionally visit MODBLOG bu would not consider myself engaged enough in the community of bodymodding to become a member.
Not only is trolling a relatively minor phenomenon here, I think there is also a much more fundamental issue at stake. If you decide to give only IAM-members the opportunity to comment, you are effectively strengthening the bodymod vs ‘normal people’ divide (notice: scare quotes). This further isolates the bodymod scene and does nothing at all to bridge people’s understanding of what is happening here. I think MODBLOG functions as a kind of portal between a community that obviously seeks support, friendship and inspiration within, but that needs to also address the prejudices in wider society.
I, for one, would be sad to see the opportunity for dialogue on body modification end here on this website. Trolls and all.

It is funny to see that no one at “Creation Body Piercing” Has participated in all this garbage. Perhaps they are spending their time working to improve the mod industry and shop instead of being petty. I have never been to Thunder Bay, but just by the immaturity shown here I would probebly choose Creation. It’s nice to see that their customers support them but remember slinging dirt is a waste of time. As far as the piercing, not a great idea.
