Body modding is no longer the social taboo it once was. In fact, it seems body mods, at least on the less extreme side of the spectrum, such as nose and tongue piercings, are all together trendy. But what about combining piercings and tattoos to create one overall body mod art piece? Your body is your canvas, indeed.

This awesome body mod was accomplished using metal pieces which attach to the skin via piercings. The tribal style ink underneath adds a shadowy outline. The end result? An awesomely extreme body mod. It might not be suspension, but it’s a nice go between until your ready for the next step.

I’m tempted to call Photoshop but goddamn that looks like it must have hurt. Either way, it’s as close to Morpheus as you’re going to get.

You gotta give teenagers credit where credits due. There is no doubt that creativity seeps through the blood of many teenagers and here’s some proof. This watch piercing was done on an 18-year-old girl! This idea wouldn’t work for the squeamish.

Technically you could say this is a body modification, since it is a piercing, but integrating a gadget such as a watch physically INTO your body is plain weird and disturbing. She’ll probably take the piercing out after she realizes she has no excuse to be late for an appointment ever again.

Here’s a quote from her blog discussing her current piercings:

Current Piercings

16g. nostril
6, 10 & 16ga. lobes
14g. tongue

Retired Piercings

14ga. lip ring x2
16ga. nostril
14ga. navel
14ga. eyebrow
14ga. watch
16ga. vertical labret

“Ga” means gauge we suppose. We also tend to think that a piercing of such creative prowess deserves a better name than simply “watch”. — Andrew Dobrow
