Cain – Four Weeks Later

Cain appears to be healing fairly well. We all know what he looked like during the procedure and a couple days out. Emilio sent us some photos which were taken about four weeks later. I suppose it’s obvious but I’ll mention he’s clearly had his forehead implants replaced with a larger generation.

    @ 37: I don’t quite reckon calling is stupid is called for. I mean…the guys obviously gone to a lot of effort…and if it didn’t make him happy he wouldn’t have. Does making yourself happy (or at least closer to)…make you stupid?

    The nose seems like its coming along really well though. Keen to see it in a couple of months more or less healed.

    And sinus drainage? I reckon it might be ok? As in the last pic I think I can see that hole into his head up his nose looking normal…could be wrong though =P

    i think he CAN´T smiling… it appears like his lip piercings (especially on the fourth pix) are going through both lips…

    That takes dedication. I wonder what the reaction is when he goes out to, say, the grocery store.

    The healing looks great but I’m curious about the “tip” of the nose that was sewed down. It still looks iffy.
    and DAMN I can’t imagine hitting my head on a cabinet with those implants.

    Good luck brother!

    I was a little unsure of what i would think of this when it is healed, but it looks awesome! He really does look like the devil

    I really like the nose work, I don’t know if it’s subtle because I have seen it so much and have stopped seeing it, but I find the implants a lot more striking now than the nose.

    Good on him.

    But I wonder what it would be like to have a cold!

  13. Bonnie Avatar

    Wow…the new implants are super intense; I dont think i could handle having my scalp cut and stretched around as many times as he has with all his size ups.

    The nose is looking rather well it turned out rather nice.

    I like the lip piercings but not too crazy about the fang part of them on teh top lip, but if he likes it who cares? :0)

    Im curious to if he has any dental mods….that would be sweet.

    Im also curious what type of reactions he’s getting from the folks in his city.

    Wow, the nose looks gnarly! It’s awesome. I love how the upper lip piercings go through the lip (as seen on bottom row second pic).

    Absolutely amazing!!! I am very impressed by his new look, and the amazing work his artist did.

    Personal Opinion?
    He’s doing too much too fast.
    But who cares about restraint anymore.

    I was told by Emilio that the new horns are 1 1/2″. They look huge, and I do believe they are larger than Louies.
    The healing looks good so far. I’m curious to see what everything will look like a few months from now. HOpefully we get more updates on here.

    God thats gnarly. The picture of him on the street is my fav -its really puts things into context, how it would be to run into this cat. Amazing. Is there a limit to the fucked up, wonderful shit people can do?

    this is terrible!

    why in the world
    did he do that to himself?

    im sorry but i don’t consider this art

    Carly, what one doesn’t consider “art” others do, and you need to keep that in mind here.

    i dont like his big horns. they looked nice small, but this is just kind of silly looking, imo. especially in the first shot.

    the nose is interesting.

    he should do some large gauge facial stuff. big labret?

  25. ward. Avatar

    Or maybe he doesn’t care if it’s art and simply got it done because he was fully capable of having it done.

    And while I wouldn’t do this myself, it is incredibly awesome. Very nice job.

    I completely agree with Shawn. Nothing against the horns or the nose, but you really need to slow down man.

  28. HereKittyKitty Avatar

    I liked the look of the smaller horns better. These seem to dominate the other mods he has (but that may be what he’s focusing on). The smaller horns along with his nose-work and add ear-points and he’d look perfectly Pan-like.

    I’m also all for slowing down… we hear//see enough about stupid kids stretching their lobes too fast nowadays, but this is taking it to a completely different level.
    [Not calling him a stupid kid, by the way. Just using them as an example.]

    I think it’s interesting that, because of the horns, the nose doesn’t look all that strange to me. Then again, this may be because I spent a great deal of time staring at the pictures of it immediately after it was done :] But, as I was saying, because of the size of the horns, the nose just complements his appearance more.

    Kudos to him for going after what he really wants. This really demonstrates that there are very few real limits to body modification… if any.

    And I’m surprised no one’s mentioned the hilarious juxtaposition of his evil facial expression with a Dunkin Donuts in the background!!

    30: I was wondering the same thing.
    31: Chances are if he took them out, he’d get a facelift along with it.

    If it makes him happy, I’m all for it.

    I wasn’t sure about the nose when I first saw it, but now it’s starting to heal I actually like it a lot. Personally I think smaller forehead implants might have shown it off to greater effect, but he does look pretty great!

    All the negative comments. He said he wanted to transform himself FOR A LONG TIME into something more “evil”.
    He finally got the means and the person to do it, so of course he jumped fully forward.
    I love it. He looks amazing.

    it’s something i’d never ever even consider doing, but it’s so awesome i can’t get over it.
    he really is changing himself so much! and it looks so great.
    mad props to this fella.

  44. swoon Avatar

    oh and at #70.
    if i’m right, he’s doing sweet metal poses, and being, “grim” i suppose.
    you typically see people in various types of metal doing it.

    but he might be doing it ’cause he wants to. just sayin’.

    He looks like how I envision Saladin Chamcha would have looked during his transformation in “The Satanic Verses.” I like!

  47. Michelle Avatar

    That looks much better now that it’s starting to heal. I rather liked the smaller implants though. But as a complete picture, neat effect.

    What time frame are we looking at here? 4 weeks, have I got that right? So it’s still gonna be swollen with more healing to do then?

    even if you dont like it, you have to admit its amazing.

    He really does look amazing in my opinion. It reminds me of old folk artwork of demons, which I guess is his intent.
