Everyone wants to do extreme mods, but no one wants to research them… In pretty much every update I get photos of things that are ill-advised, not thought out, and quite dangerous… But this really takes the cake.
If it's not obvious, it's a cheap acrylic circular barbell being implanted under the skin. Two things are going to happen. First, because it's just regular jewelry, there's plenty of cracks (between the balls and the jewelry, etc.) to both irritate the surrounding tissue, and for bacteria to fester. But more importantly, it's a guarantee that the plastic will break down under the body's chemistry and release toxins.
It's pretty damn obvious that this is a BAD IDEA. It's just sloppy and inexcusable. People really need to think about what they're doing, and realize that when you put something permanently under the skin you have to consider the long term implications. I really hate singling out individual artists, but this person also sent in photos of fair sized implants being placed across tendons and the wrist which isn't the greatest idea either…
