We’re admittedly curious about the reaction you folks may have here. After we posted photos of Tye’s new knuckle tattoos, the old conversation about whether there’s a certain hierarchy of visible/”extreme” modification work that should be adhered to crept back up. (Tye, of course, has his ears pointed and a not insignificant amount of tattoo work, though we will admit these modifications were not perfectly visible in the attached photos.) Our Russian correspondent up top may be a good example of this conflict as well. Not only are medusa piercings stretched so large rare themselves, but it’s especially uncommon to see something like this ostensibly independent of any other major modifications. (There are, of course, marks and scars that indicate previous work.) We’re fans of it, aesthetically speaking, but, even more so than knuckle tattoos, this is a pretty dramatic standalone piece of work. A nice close-up, after the jump.

i actually like the fact that it’s a stand-alone piece. the lack of other largely noticeable mods gives a clean simplicity to it. it suits him.

I.. Well. I’m going to be honest. I’m not a fan of stretched lip piercings. Something about them throws me off. However. This suits his face well, I must say.

as much as i don’t like medusas this big, it looks nice. i really like how it’s all alone.

Absolutely stunning. I love it, like everyone else has already stated it’s really nice as a stand alone piece.

Actually not a fan of that one. To me, it just destroys his otherwise really handsome face. Like he just put a piece of Mint Candy there…

Like most of the above have said, I love the simplicity of it. Also not a fan of stretched lips, but I think that it is never a bad thing to have one focal feature rather than lots of little pieces. But then, perhaps I am just a little simple 🙂

Nice. And in regards to “earning it”, he had to live with progressively larger jewelry, so it didn’t go un noticed. He was at least somewhat prepared. Not to mention the scars from work previous. A+ in my book, and I don’t even like medusas stretched

He clearly has other scars. and who knows what else piereced/modified. Streching takes time so he was definitely not unprepared. I think what throws people off here is the shirt he’s wearing.
