Gorgeous skull-shaped implant

I really love the way this newschool-style skull implant, done by the folks at BodyTunning in Sao Paulo, Brazil, has turned out. The level of definition and detail is great — let’s hope it doesn’t freak people out like the brass knuckles implant did!

    The detail showing through the skin is amazing. I’m new to all of this and can’t help but believe that bumping this on a hard surface has got to hurt. But as we have seen through the years, with beauty comes a certain amount of pain. It looks great.

    Like it. Where can i get it in Germany? This one really looks sick in a good way 🙂

    Are there any other, more asia/japan themed Implants like this? They look really 3d under the skin.

    Very cool, the way the definition shows under the skin is really impressive. Its interesting that there is quite a fast growing mod scene in Brazil these days. Next time I’m there Ill have to check things out.

    Oh and where is the implant? Im assuming wrist/forearm.

    I think the reason the brass knuckles went overboard is that it was one of the first (identifiably) shaped silicon piece (at least, in such a central place) that was linked all over the damn place. I remember seeing it twice on my livejournal friend’s list.. I wasnt a fan (I love me some chestpiece tattoos though), but to each their own.

    Paging through the comments, did it get linked on Fark.com or something?

    I went back and read “get a life’s” post… man. If his opinion on body modification only counts as to how screwable a person is, not only does he not understand what it can mean to modify oneself, he also doesn’t realize that a lot of us think that tattoos are hot.

    I usually don’t enjoy insulting people but that level of close-mindedness (and theres a lot that makes me squick too, but again, to each their own) really made me mad. Sure, there’s a lot of “I like that idea, I’ll do it too!” or desire to be accepted in the modification community (such as with all communities), but its also a medium, in my opinion, that allows for self-expression, personal symbolism, and communication through imagery. That’s what it is to me, anyway.
