Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

A lot of times we get photo submissions of mods freshly done and while that’s always great, people often ask, what does it look like healed? Suzanne H sent in this photo of an implant done by Samppa Von Cyborg and she titled it, “Implant at 1 year”. It’s great to see how this looks at 1 year in. Thanks for the sharing Suzanne!

It’s hard to believe that it’s going on 11 years since Rachel and I took a trip to The Netherlands so she could have her jewel eye implant. 11 years! Not too long ago I was actually thinking that it’s still not something I ever really hear about. Well, yesterday bodmodpunky sent in the photo below:
Artist: Danny
Studio: Rock the Body Studio
Location: Baden CH
This looks really nice and I’d love to hear the reactions when people realize, hey, you’ve got a skull in your eye! I’ll be honest, I tend to forget Rachel even has it, it’s such an unobtrusive thing and so far as I know she hasn’t had any issues with it. I’m not suggesting everyone should run out and get this done, if you do decide to get it done, make sure you do your research and find someone who knows what they’re doing!

Now I may have just been slacking on my ear pointing updates, but I don’t believe I’ve ever seen ear pointing done this way before (feel free to post in the comments if you have and I’ll update!).
I have never personally performed ear pointing but this looks like its much less invasive (albeit a bit less extreme looking) than conventional means. I don’t have much background on this photo, if anyone can shed a little light in the comments by all means do so!

Nearly a decade ago Modblog covered Rachel’s extraocular implant.
Recently there has been a surge in news sources covering a woman paying $3,000 to have the same procedure done in New York City. Comparatively Rachel paid about $900 USD including the flight! Six months after Rachel’s procedure there were a few cases of the media claiming that a few people in California were the first Americans to have it done. So not only is this topic not a new trend, it’s already been done in the United States, been covered, and it was already full of misinformation!
How do you feel about popular news sources picking up on body modifications? These articles expose a new audience to things they have never seen, but are often times filled with misinformation and spun in a negative light. Is it our job to shout back?

Have a safe and happy weekend everyone! Thanks to Arseniy Andersson for the photo.
