In keeping with the “bad ideas” theme, it amazes me the crap people put into their bodies in the name of body art.
The old school implants that were made to resemble body jewelry started their life’s as regular titanium body jewelry, but then several steps went into making them suitable for long term implantation. First off the seam from where the ball threads in was plasma welded shut. Then the bottom side was made into a smooth, but flat surface so it wouldn’t create as much downwards pressure. I have a circular barbell implant of this style in my right hand, and nearly ten years later it is still happy and has caused me no (known) issues.
Nowadays, those type of implants have been made obsolete by the molded or carved silicone implants. Yet for some reason, people still think it’s ok to put standard body jewelry (with no attempts at making it suitable from implantation) under the skin and call it an implant?
This submission to BME came with no story, only artist credits. I am intentionally leaving off the artist credit, because I don’t know if the artist was the photographer, the implanter, the implant remover or what and I don’t want anyone jumping to conclusions without more information.
Without any explanation, I do think the pictures here do a fine job of telling the horror story of poorly planned implants.

yea, but what about the one you had in your other hand? this pic is pretty scary lol. not so much because they put that in there but because of the way it looks like they took them out.

The image of the arm with the implants still in it looks familiar. Like it was posted on modblog already (before the disaster removal of course)

These implants are selfdone by Arseniy Andersson, he just decided to remove them, so there’s no shame or stuff like this (except stupid idea to put industrial barbells to the arm, of course).

My jaw is agape and I hope they learnt a hard, yet crucial lesson: Research thoroughly before you do anything.

I hate to be a pedant, but… Modblog really needs to learn how to differentiate between possessives and plurals. Does no one edit these entries? They’re always riddled with super simple-to-correct grammar/spelling errors which detract from what might otherwise be great content.
Plural forms of nouns NEVER have apostrophes (see, that’s “apostrophes” not “apostrophe’s”). So the plural of
“life” is “lives,” not “life’s”. Also, I cannot stress enough that “who’s” = “who is”. The possessive form is “whose”. Oh, and “they’re” = “they are”; “their” = “belonging to them.”
I’m sure I’m not the only one sent into a nerd rage by Modblog’s lack of proofreading.

Scott, I apologize for my grammatical errors. I’ll try and do better, but if I fail miserably, you may find yourself more happy reading http://www.grammarblog.co.uk/.
