Gorgeous Forehead Implants!

I think I posted the before picture of the big 1 1/4″ labret being put in the day before yesterday (sort of a funny photo) — thus the swelling — but I really wanted to share the after portrait because I really love the implants! These were implanted by Steve Haworth and made custom for him by Jesse Jarrell. Forehead reshaping (be it by implants, piercings, tattoos, scars, whatever) is one of my favorite body modifications…

    Man, that labret looks painful. It’s just so red along the underside of his lip and on his chin. My lip/chin is throbbing with sympathy pains..

    That being said.. i’d like to see the head tattoo.. it looks really bright and colorful!

    The implants… aah forehead implants.. yet another one looking like some sort of Star Trek species. hehe I’ mean that in the most positive non-insulting way. Its just funny because that’s all i can think about when i see those.

    ok, is it just me or do his lips look insanly kissable like that?

    The combination of the implants with the shape distortion of the nose and lower lips and the solid black jewlery give him an other worldy look. rockstar!

    i love when people use mods to create a complete “look”, like when everything matches and sort of goes with their face.

    the only thing i would like to know is what all of these heavily modded people do for a living! shannon, article? ^^

    I third the article idea, except maybe with a little story to each person, you know, add a bit of flare. 😉

    LOL at pumpkin comment, that was floating at the back of my mind.
    Its really an amazing image, balances in an unexpected way.

    Fourthed, or whatever, on the possible article. Hearing from a large sampling of people would be an interesting read.

    I would love an article on jobs held by people with visible mods. Maybe an option to answer a short questionnaire when you submit photos or something? I’d like know: what jobs are held by people with visible mods, how having visible mods has affected their job (except in the case of those in the body modification field, obviously no trouble there!), and if there is an interesting related anecdote or piece of advice they would like to share. I think that would keep it short but answer the main points people would want to know.

    Oh, and the implants are lovely. His lips remind me of having my vertical labrets done. They’re only 2 14g piercing but I had amazing “bee-stung” lips for a couple of days. I felt like Angelina Jolie or something. I was actually kind of sad when the swelling went down. Come to think of it…I had my lips done by Steve Joyner at Laughing Buddha (when it was still Puncture). I love that shop!
