OK, one more keloid picture! This time I’ll pull one from the “weird” category with this “flerp piercing” (you do it first, you get to name it) through what I assume is a keloid skin tag… Crazy Swedes!

…eww
That grosses me out!
my sister was born with a skin tag right next to her tragus, it looked like a second tragus and it was just perpendicular to the skin surface. when they removed it when she was a kid it ended up having a root on her skull!! they thought it might have been tumorous after that. hers was way cooler.
the Zorglüb piercing ! (this name sounds good, no ?)
sorry, my first reaction was also “eww”–and the name doesn’t really help (but maybe it sounds better in swedish). but way to go for turning something negative into something…new!
haha. the word flerp makes me want to vomit. haha. kewl piercing though
That’s so fucking cool ^_^
flerp flerp flerp flerp. i like it. piercing skin buddies makes me wish i had skin buddies to pierce. i don’t, which is also perfectly fine.
If life gives you lemons, get used to it… and learn making lemonade from girl-scouts 🙂
Haha I love it!
i was eating 🙁
i nearly threw up.
Very creative!
I have keloids on a branding that still hurt almost two years later. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable this piercing was to get.
I would have that thing scalpelled off, if I were him… But good for him if he likes it being there.
we swedes? like wtf? ^^
ew.
That totally needs a longer barbell, haha.
The only thing they could have done which would be creepier than this would be to tattoo a little face on it.
Why the long barbell?? Would look a lot better with something that fits snugly, no?
hehe I am eating…
*continues eating*
growing up in a medical and military household,
nothing phases me.
I think we should name it the Ack! Piercing.
Because that seems to be most people’s first reaction.
Have an interesting body bit? why not stick some titanium through it?
I love it.
Haha, yeah I’m eating and still eating. I think it’s kinda neat.

He was joking, the barbell is PLENTY long enough lol
very cool.
I don’t know why the squeamish browse modblog while eating
Jeez, what’s with all the pansies saying “ew”?? If you think THIS is gross, why the hell are you on modblog? For real.
I had a skin flap that grew to the size of a nickel in a relatively strange location. I thought a number of times about piercing it. Then I finally had a dermatologist remove it.
I wish could remember the technical name for a bump there. There is a name for it, I’ve known at least a couple people born with them. I think it’s a genetic trait.
Is that really a keloid, and is it healed? From what I know about keloids, piercing one doesn’t seem so great. Wouldn’t that likely cause it to grow?
This is the first thing on ModBlog to gross me out…
In swedish the name does make some sense.
The swedish word flerp or (rather flärp) litterally means a small flap or tab.
Thought you’d like to know.
found the name I was looking for, a “preauricular skin tag”. read more here
i’ve got one of those skin tag thingies above my left tragus. my tragus below is pierced but the skin tag’s a little too small to be pierced. i get so many people asking me what that ‘thing’ is above my tragus. i just say i was born with it! because i honestly i have no idea myself. lol.
I can’t believe people are getting so grossed out over this. It’s only some kind of bump! It’s not like it’s oozing or funky colored. It’s a bump. It’s a pierced bump. I too am eating and I don’t see the big deal. If your tummy is that sensitive, why come onto modblog while you’re eating? lol
I think it’s awesome. Way to make lemonade!! I wonder, did it hurt?
Is that the kind of random lumpy bit you could put a string around and wait for it to die and fall off?
Also, that’s pretty cool. I find it really weird that everyone’s so “grossed out” by this. It’s really cool, but not that noteworthy by modblog standards.
