Norplant for guys is finally on the market, they’re just working on reducing its size (just kidding)! Thanks to Dan Marshall (www.piercerdan.net) in Toronto (currently on tour in Calgary) for sending in this photo of his unusually placed bicep implant, now over a year old.

I think these may be some of the first finger implants I’ve seen (not including transdermals and finger dermal anchors). They’re 6mm and 8mm pieces on Nobnig (who has quite a bit of heavy work), done by Samppa Von Cyborg (MadMax Tattoo). I think the photos are by Al Overdrive but I apologize if I got that wrong.

PS. If you’re wondering about the title, it’s because as long as those implants are there, punching someone is going to really suck for both people! “This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you!”

Awwwwright, I know I’m posting a lot of Samppa‘s pictures today (and I have a few more saved for tomorrow or Wednesday), but I quite like this necklace piece he did. The scar in the middle is from the removal of an older implant by the way.

PS. For BME/extreme members, there’s tons of photos from Samppa at MadMax (located Finland-London-Everywhere) that will be posted later in the week.

Some days, it’s very good to know an implant artist.

Implants are not forever much of the time. I’ve taken out almost a dozen myself, and you can see here Raposa at Tattoo Land in Sao Paulo, Brasil is doing the same. I’m not saying “don’t do them”, and I don’t think Raposa would say that either, but if you’re going to get implants, be aware there is a very, very good chance you’ll have to remove them at some point in the future.
