Howie (who you know well) customized Ben’s (who’s also a ModBlog regular) ear into a “part time cigarette holder”, designed to fit the profile of an injury caused by a .50 cal round…

Desert Eagle dessert.
J-Knuckles on September 26th, 2007 at 9:09 pmThat’s a .50 cal ouch!
JustJen on September 26th, 2007 at 9:16 pmman, fake injuries are so lame. I would lose all self-respect in myself.
Fred on September 26th, 2007 at 9:19 pmStones. Glass houses, Fred.
JustJen on September 26th, 2007 at 9:21 pmThere’s always going to be someone out there that thinks a particular body mod is lame. To each his own…
Anyone want to wager that he’ll use his fake injury to deceive someone at some point? I bet he doesn’t have it because it looks cool, he wants it to get free drinks at a bar or to pick up chicks.
Maybe I’m old fashioned.
ubermensch on September 26th, 2007 at 9:35 pmHe looks very tasty
kookyknut on September 26th, 2007 at 9:41 pmhaha clever. at least he can make good use of it!
shokroklove on September 26th, 2007 at 9:42 pmOh man, now he can start every sentence with “when I was in ‘Nam”, like they do in the movies.
Hanargh on September 26th, 2007 at 9:44 pmMmm… lame mod or not, he’s hot.
funkadelica on September 26th, 2007 at 9:52 pmi’m quite impressed with how well his lower ear has healed from his previous earlobe removal
and it does look kinda kooky and kinda funky :)
Jonn t. NØTHING on September 26th, 2007 at 9:55 pmWow. He sure is purty.
Anna on September 26th, 2007 at 9:59 pmI just love the fact that it’s a nifty cigarette holder!
Wiggledance on September 26th, 2007 at 10:12 pmi love his facial hair.
jesse on September 26th, 2007 at 10:32 pmI hope he doesn’t stop smoking because then it wouldn’t look as rad.
Toothpaste on September 26th, 2007 at 10:39 pmThis gets you free drinks and chicks, ubermensch? Sign me up.
Shannon Larratt on September 26th, 2007 at 10:41 pmi like his facial scars
Charel on September 26th, 2007 at 10:49 pmfake injuries are pretty lame - i dunno, i just feel like if you want the look of someone who’s gone through something, you should go through something - if he had actually had someone shoot his ear, then i’d have no issue with it.
it’s like the whole dueling scar thing - http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Dueling_Scar - they wanted scars, so they fought to have them. they didn’t just go to a shop and have a guy carefully cut the skin away then take care of it.
i barely have an argument here, it’s just the principal that i find, i dunno, troubling?
markmarkmark on September 27th, 2007 at 12:20 amhonestly after seeing the aftermath of one of these procedures done, I’m going to always strongly advise AGAINST people getting this work.
People are going to do what they’re going to do, but people REALLY need to get the WHOLE story from previous people who’ve gotten this kind of work.
Let me tell you it was not a fun task.
Not to be rude or anything, more of a question…But is Howie starting to put gauze or something into the ear canal now to prevent blood flowing into the inner ear canal? Or does everyone getting ear work need to go out and buy those ear suction cleaning kits?
Not overly trying to knock against Howie, I’ve(we’ve all) seen a quite a bit of solid work from him…But with this type of ear work, that was my only pet peeve with what I’ve seen and heard.
Warren on September 27th, 2007 at 12:38 amdamn hes pretty
ovaryaction on September 27th, 2007 at 12:48 ami’m not a fan of smoking, so perhaps if he quits he can keep something else there…like christmas ornaments or lollipops. though i suppose they aren’t so cool- probably not the image he is trying to portray :)
nope on September 27th, 2007 at 1:16 amI can never get enough of looking at this guy! Absolutely gorgeous, and I love the lobe nullos…
I didn’t ‘get it’ at first, but it’s a cool concept. I seriously doubt he’s going to go around telling people he got shot, but then again I wouldn’t give two shits if he did so maybe my opinion doesn’t matter.
Brittany on September 27th, 2007 at 1:55 amIn any case it probably hurt about the same and it looks really interesting–that’s good enough for me.
I love this guy’s mods.
He always does stuff that I’m like, “Wow, thats really cool. I’ve never seen that before.”
Props
Tyler Integrity on September 27th, 2007 at 1:59 amHe’d be MUCH better looking without that disgusting cigarette in his mouth!
nicole on September 27th, 2007 at 2:03 amaw now this was perfectly timed. chatted with him on my way home then open up modblog to this :) ive seen him numerous times since this has been done and never guessed what it was supposed to resemble, just always thought it was a very cute, very ben thing to do.
kennybaby on September 27th, 2007 at 2:31 amoh and i also agree hes quite pretty ;)
kennybaby on September 27th, 2007 at 2:32 ambut damn boy this would be a sexier shot if that wasnt a native…
…looks pretty crucial with that cig…
lol
nice tats tho :)
xpalehorsex on September 27th, 2007 at 2:48 amInteresting conceptually. I imagine you could rest a round there, much like the ciggie. A true-to-life “injury caused by a .50 cal round”, though, would be to have ones head mimic a plastic baggie full of raspberry Jell-0 dropped from, oh, say ten stories high. ;) BTST….
fetch on September 27th, 2007 at 3:43 amThank you for all the comments , especialy you Shannon for the Niettzsche reference allthough I don’t think I can ever live up to such perfectly enlightened ideals of this genius.
Ben on September 27th, 2007 at 3:48 amAs for # 18. People will do what they will do but to advise people not to do or go through with procedures like this at the hands of some of the most talented and inovative artists in the industry , espcialy people like myself that are in the industry who have endured new procrdures and advanced the art for the sake of the art. Yes I did suffer and will keep suffering for this art.
#18. and others I didn’t mean this to look like an gsw but it is what people have told me and have said is what it looks like , this was solely my idea and just because I’m tired of seeing the same old shit being done over and over again and wanted to give people something new isn’t of anyones concenrn but my own.
This procedure could not have been done more professionaly and under more experienced hands. I’ve known and worked with Howie for a decade and wouldn’t have dared or trusted to ask someone else to have carried out my vision.
yummy.
anonymoose on September 27th, 2007 at 3:51 amHowie , Thank you I feel a little more complete.
Ben on September 27th, 2007 at 3:52 amyayy! looks good.
LastxKiss on September 27th, 2007 at 5:03 amcan’t wait to seeeeee it!!!
Warren - How dare you post an intelligent response here. You forgot to mention how attractive the guy is and end your post with “I soooooooooo want this done”.
;-)
MistahG on September 27th, 2007 at 6:04 amIsn’t that the guy who had a cigarette in a wound on his forehead?
Lihis on September 27th, 2007 at 6:21 amSorry but a fake gun injury is pretty lame. If the dude really wanted that look then he should have shot his ear off with a .50.
Joanne on September 27th, 2007 at 6:29 amslight problem….
nature223 on September 27th, 2007 at 7:12 ama 50cal wouldnt do that little bit of damage….
it would’ve ripped most of his ear completely off
Giles, well…I didn’t want to be all public about it…but that second picture…with the neon glow…that’s some awesomeness right there! LIKE OH-EM-GEE!!!!
Warren on September 27th, 2007 at 7:23 amAnyone notice that the scars across his left eye are almost exactly like the previous modblog entry.
Soup on September 27th, 2007 at 8:46 amI walk by future skin all the time and have seen this as it healed…It’s darned cool…but I’m glad to know what it was meant to be.
Eric on September 27th, 2007 at 1:26 pmlovely ear mod! :D
dojz on September 27th, 2007 at 9:31 pm#33
kennybaby on September 27th, 2007 at 10:30 pmyes it is
its funny how i only read the comments on posts when it involves one of my friends…he just said it wasnt done to look like a gunshot wound..yet people keep insisting fake injuries are lame..you know what else is lame not reading before writing..geez..its a one of a kind piece..and ben is hot to boot ..and a sweetie who i hope would tell you if your mods are lame to your face!
sistinas on September 28th, 2007 at 2:16 amits funny how he just said it wasnt done to look like a gunshot wound..yet people #34 keep insisting fake injuries are lame..you know what else is lame not reading before writing..geez..its a one of a kind piece..and ben is hot to boot ..and a sweetie who i hope would tell you to your face if your mods are lame !
sistinas on September 28th, 2007 at 2:20 amHe is so HOT!
Elina on September 28th, 2007 at 7:39 pmThis is great! I really like the look of pieces cut out of the ear, and I like this one in particular. And it has a practical use! Although I’ve quit smoking (cigarettes) these days, so I’d just have to keep a spliff in there. Much cooler than keeping it in your lobe!
possessed on September 29th, 2007 at 4:08 pmI think he’s gorgeous.
Caroline June on September 30th, 2007 at 4:43 pmfake injuries are lame, but he’s hot, and very vain, as all of his mods are very cosmetically appealing.
fifi on October 2nd, 2007 at 2:45 pmim sorry but i don’t think ive ever seen the guy without a cigarette stuck in one of his wounds.
please. im sorry, no offense, but please.
LeaveThePoliticsToMadmen on October 2nd, 2007 at 11:13 pmoh, caroline june, don’t get me wrong, i think he’s flat out gorgeous, but i think that’s all alot of it is. the cig thing is always a major turn off.
LeaveThePoliticsToMadmen on October 2nd, 2007 at 11:15 pmDefinitely interesting, but I’m also drawn to his fantastic facial scars.
Lenore on October 6th, 2007 at 3:13 amThat is not a .50 cal wound, fake or not. He would have stopped smoking, which is good. The bad, is that he would no longer have a head to use for smoking purposes, thus, no more smoking addiction!
JP76er on February 10th, 2008 at 5:27 pm[...] may remember that last year Howie “shot” Ben’s ear… Well, this year Ben (Future Skin, Ottawa, Canada) has done something similar to Shawn, [...]
