Since a lot of you seem interested in body modification, here's a shot showing 6 of my implants, some ink (I have 1/3 of my body done) my forked tongue (come on, it's a reptile forum, who doesn't like forked tongues here?) and various piercings and stuff. I'm also branded, cut, and have no nipples (actually I do, they're preserved in a jar in my family room)
i have a vairty of pircings (scaffoldings and flesh tunnels to name a few) and tattoos but i really want a brand! but apparently its illigal in this contry booooo! :( can you please put some more pics up! xx

How do they do the arm implants? What are they? Do they hurt?? They look cool, but oh my god...I would pass out cold! I hate needles and all that stuff...It amazes me what you guys can do to yourselves!! Did getting your tongue done hurt?? I'm sure these are annoying ass questions that you get asked all the time, but it just amazes me! I'm an art teacher and I really consider all of it art. I just know I could NEVER do it! Very cool pics! Post more if you can!

Well for the arm, we made a small incision at the top of each forearm, placed a skin retractor into each slit (hooks to pull the skin up) and then used a series of elevators (medical spatchulas) to scrape the pocket in for the implants. Once you have pockets you slide each in where you want it, push aout the extra air, and suture yourself back together. Deffinately not fun. The tongue is way easier, you just cut from the tip back to a pre-existing tongue piercing with a scalpel heated to about 2000 degrees, a couple seconds and it's done, and immediately afterwords it's not too painful because the third degree burns temporarily destroy your nerves. Thanks for appreciating it as art, a lot of people don't. I like it, it's what I do for a living. Flesh canvas.

Just curious, as to your work, who did your implants/tongue splitting/branding/ cutting/nipple removal? Also are you associated with any shops or anything like that? My buddy Ryan works at a shop, and he has all that shit done too, so drop me a line, or if you are associated with BME check out ColdBlood, that is my buddy Ryan! Later man!

Steve haworth did my implants and my nipplectomies, jon durante did my tongue split, the branding and cutting were done by myself. I've worked at shops across the country, right now I'm working at Devil's Advocate in Santa Barbara along with george totten and permanent mark, it's pretty nice spot. I have a LOT of my work on BME, although I don't use IAM at all, I pretty much have a permanent full membership. I do piercing, punching, scalpeling, branding, scarification, implants, and splits, and have work in most of those galleries.

For you forarm subdermals, did you use teflon, or are you rockin like an old skool soldier with stainless? They also look pretty big, did you just do a balls to the wall first generation, or are those second or third generation? Do you know Steve personally or did you pay out the butt for your stuff? All my friends have their stuff done by Steve Truit, and it is all mint!!

My implants were done with teflon half cut beads, and were the first to be put in. The smallest on each arm is 5/8, the mediums were 3/4 and the largest ones were 7/8's. There is no reason to do multiple generations of implants on a body part with as much loose skin as an arm. Typically the only place it needs to be done is on horns. I don't know steve personally, but we know some of the same people and talk at conventions. I think I got pretty much the normal rate of 230 an arm for all three implants. I feel that's a fair price. I've met streve truitt before in hollywood at a convention, and talked to him a couple times at the convenion and an after party. He's a nice guy.

I was wondering about the nipplectomies too. The other stuff looks cool but I just don't get nipplectomies.
