I actually like the look of some of the branding stuff i've seen but I don't think it's for me.Tattoo's and piercings nip a bit but burning fucking sucks. Never say never though

are the implantations reversible?

im not into the branding again i feel its associated with animals. Some of it does look ok though but you do have to seriously think to the future if your gonna get that stuff done and decide whether or not your still going to be happy with it later in life xxx

Yeah, you just slice it open again and pull it out. I'd imagine it would be incredibly painful, but serves you right for sticking a lump of metal under your skin.

funkybabe · 2nd March 2004, 4:51pm

yeah it does sound realy sore, nah dont think its for me.

Yeah, they're just loose balls under the skin. Dunno how effectively from a scarring aspect though. When they're put in though theyre all pushed into place through the one cut further up the area being done but I don't know whether they can be removed in a similar way or have to be cut out one by one.

It's not always loose balls. I've seen barbells and hoops and horseshoes. Yucky stuff *eugh*

it just sounds pointless and stupid to me. I know some people can then argue the fact of piercings and tats being pointless but theres a line and i think it has majorly begun to get crossed. xxxx

given the word 'implants' i automatically think of breasts! I've obviously seen too much generic pornography...and i don't like breast implants. I guess i think that people should be able to do whatever they like to their own bodies, but not for me. I'm a quiet retiring soul.

ok, fair point, i suppose it's the symbolism of branding i was referring to.
For some reason it just seems so much more barbaric.

But agreed with Shannow, in theory ANY piercing could be cool if done properly and on the right person.....

do piercings under the skin not carry a higher risk of infection - obv you can keep say for example a nose piercing clean with salt water or whatever but how do you prevent infection on an object forced under your skin - and whats to stop it from moving around - isnt that kinda dangerous - sorry if that sounds totally ignorant of me but that would worry me.

i dunno any details, but surely if it's under your skin and sealed in, it should be pretty ok? It could only get infected if it became exposed to the outside world. possibly.
