I really think that without a doubt one of the most truly stunning, unique, striking, exotic, and beautiful women in the body modification scene is Argentina’s La Negra, photographed here by Eduardo Baez for Tatuarte en la Piel magazine at Danny Yerna’s event in Mexico. More photos continue after the break.

These ear ridge implants were done by Dominick at Starlight Tattoo in Belleville, NJ, using three 5mm Teflon balls.

Is that a doughnut in your wrist or are you just pleased to see me?
You’re probably best asking Jorge of Spirit Bodyarts, Chile. He was the man that put it there!

Who said ribs are bad for the skin‽
Biel obviously doesn’t think so as he paid Paulo “Sheetos” Vitor quite a lot of sauce for these five forearm implants.

The picture for this entry is after the break.
Following up a little on Mark’s lip silicone and the questions about removal, Fignutz had some problems with a genital injection in which the material extruded through skin leaving a fistulous (nonhealing) tract that took two years of debridement (dead tissue cutting and removal) to heal. He explains,
The initial mod looked like many of those in this section [members link] — something potato or tuber-like. Huge, but ugly with loss of sensation. If you must do this mod, less is better. It’s like the gambler who can’t quit while s/he is ahead. Eventually the odds prevail to your disadvantage. Either tissue necrosis (cell death) due to pressure from the large volume of injected material occurs; the injected material acts as an irritant or toxin; infection occurs; and/or the preservative found in the injected matrix causes a local immune reaction (seen with “KY” and other water soluble lubricants, or some forms of saline used to reconstitute collagen).
Although it is never safe, wise or recommended to perform this genital mod, by far the only substance I would consider is Saline (isotonic 0.9% WITHOUT preservative, sometimes called “Bacteriostatic Saline). I will repeat that it MUST be isotonic (0.9%)saline , which means it is approximately the same concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl)as the normal surrounding tissue. Several other concentrations do exist, as well as injectable sterile water, but these (including water) are guaranteed to cause tissue damage. The modding and enlargement effects of saline, being water soluable, does wear off in a relatively short period of time, so it is a temporary mod, which is usually a good thing. Repeated administration can lead to scarring, fibrosis, chordee and infection however, so unless you’re willing to take the risk, I suggest you get yourself some nice ink, or a frenum, like I did. (I won’t get into the risks of THAT for now!)
Luckily it looks like he’s healed quite well. Many people are not so lucky — check out the interview with Impgrin for someone who had far less luck. Read more…

I assume most people have seen my friend “Mister Mark”’s huge silicone penis (see: silicone penis videos on BMEvideo) as it was featured in “The Perfect Penis” and other documentaries (various free clips are online). Anyway, he’s also been working on his lips for the last five years (which slowly recede in size over time), and he just had them redone and is very happy about it and says he’s sure he’ll go even bigger in the near future.

Morbus sent in a couple photos from an ultrasound of a week old magnetic implant that Roland from Visavajara put into his finger. The implant is circled in red, and you can see in the left photo where it’s positioned in relation to the joint.

Rachel (iam:Freedom), who wears a silicone heart-shaped implant in her chest (put in by Brian on — unintentionally — 6/6/06) was concerned about the very real possibility of what would happen should she be in an accident that left her unconscious or unable to speak and under emergency medical care. How would the doctors respond to a heart-shaped lump on her chest if she was banged up? In order to reduce the risk factors, she wears a bracelet which reads, “SILICONE HEART IMPLANT LOCATED ON MY CHEST”, which may well save everyone quite a bit of grief one day.

I thought I’d never see transdermal implants again, what with the insane popularity of microdermals, but while Emilio Gonzalez (Mithos Tattoo, Venezuela) was working in Costa Rica this February he did this set of jawline spikes. Click through for a second photo.

Lane (who I’ll be posting an interview with hopefully this week) took this photo of Sheena, who had this note-shaped silicone implant done by Brian at Pure Body Arts (Brooklyn, NY) while he was guesting at Lane’s shop in Edmonton, Alberta.

My friend and modification artist Emilio Gonzalez (of Mithos Tattoo, Venezuela) was recently in Bogota, Columbia, where he did these intense horn up-sizes, taking this client to the next generation. Continue reading for a couple more photos.

Has no one ever told Freakboy that if it comes out of your nose, you’re not supposed to eat it?

One of the fun things about silicone implants (this well healed one is by xPUREx on Waffle) is that depending on the way your body encapsulates it, you can do silly things to freak out your friends like flip it upside down under your skin…

I like kissitgoodbye’s heart shaped implant, done by Howie while at Metalurgy in Dundee, Scotland — I think if it was me I’d be in line to get a second matching one on the other side. After the break is a second photo of it under different lighting, and from the front, which is interesting because it gives you a better idea of the 3d aspect. You can also see her new white gold tooth in that shot, done by a dentist in Pretoria, South Africa.

So I wrote up a long set of potential questions for a series of piercer interviews, and I was thinking how few piercers I know that are “just piercers”… Almost everyone these days does scarification, or implants, or tongue splitting as well. There seem to be very few pure piercers out there — not that that’s a bad thing and not that it’ll stop me from interviewing them. Anyway, if anyone has suggestions on who they’d like to see in the piercer interviews — or wants to volunteer — I’m listening.

On to the entry… I remember when Steve Haworth first popularized circular barbell implants (”the piercer’s implant”) in the mid-90s, he made a point out of welding the beads on to ensure that there was no “gap” for bacteria or dead tissue to collect. However, many people still implant regular body jewelry. While it’s generally not going to cause a problem, it could increase the risk level slightly.

One of my perennial favorite modified people is Patrick from Denmark (featured previously), and I’ve greatly enjoyed watching his visage evolve as it improves and becomes more distinguished and defined with every iteration. Most recently he’s had a gorgeous set of biomechanical sideburns added (his body already has a large number of tattoos in this theme) and cheek cuttings.

This noteworthy post about Sheena’s musical implant seemed to strike a chord with a few of you, so here’s a video of the procedure..

I like this photo of my friends Komando and Mumumu (formerly La Negra of course), with implants by Emilio Gonazalez, in a photo taken at Komando’s last birthday in Tigre, Argentina.

I’m sure I don’t need to remind you about Lane’s leg implant gone awry. I do? Ok.. 1 - 2 - 3.
Well, here’s some video of the initial procedure by Brian (camera - Tayla Johnston). Get those lighters out and hold them high!
I’m also sure Lane won’t mind me saying that for the short while they were together their relationship was bumpy, the important thing is they parted company amicably and the time they did share was DDelightful.
Finally, although the couple met through Brian he had nothing to do with the break-up and was the perfect gentleman throughout.
