Pierceit – Body Modification Journal

Has now been removed from my scalp, there is nothing quite picking the little buggers out – Mmmm satisfying. I also use Bio-oil on the incisions to reduce scarring.

Oh yeah baby! A swollen head and two black eyes – REEESULT! Libby keeps laughing at me too.

So I went and done and did it! Yup The implants are now fully installed beneath my skin – Did it hurt? Of freakin’-course!
Here you can see the markings of where they’ll be placed and we eventually want them to sit – I’m not going to post too many gory images here, as some folks don’t appreciate the gore factor – You can find all the images on my Flickr account. . .

Anyway that was yesterday and I was informed that I would have the mother of all headaches today, but so far I’ve been fine. My head feels funny but I’m not in any kind of pain. I even managed to get a reasonable night of sleep. Can’t really see much apart from a big swollen bonce .

. . .Oh yes, there will be and lots of it too! Yes, for today is implant day. Six of the buggers, three either side of my hairline – it’s been a long time coming and I don’t mind admitting I’m a little bit apprehensive.

Ever since I first saw 3D art implants I knew that I would be having them done myself. Over the last few years I’ve had six Teflon implants in my arm and one silicone circular barbell in my hand. Obviously I was leaving the best ’til last, well to tell the truth, we have been waiting almost a year for the implants themselves. This is not as bad as it seems as I have a busy life/work schedule, and when they did arrive we had to do some careful planning to fit the procedure in.

That day is today. I know that head procedures bleed like a bastard, but then its not me that has to deal with that side of things – I do wonder if this is the modification that will push me over the edge (so to speak) as it’s probably the most extreme one that I’ve done.

Time will tell – I’ll keep you posted. . .
