Yes it is real. This is just a variation of surface piercing similar to the corsets I'm sure you're all familiar with. The skin on the arms and hands is quite thin and flexible, making this process relatively painless and easy. With that said, don't try this unless you're an APP certified artist with qualifications in blood-born pathogens.

Edit: spelling hard.

Daddy why did you ate my fries???!!!!!

[–]sora312 4 points5 points ago

What kind of dad eats his daughter's fries,

And doesn't look her in the eyes?

Daddy, there were tears there.

If you saw them would you even care?

[–]Semi_Chivalrous 6 points7 points ago

It's a performance piercing. These kinds of things are usually used in portfolios for artists trying to display their skill for future work, or done as a form of entertainment or, in some cases, for shits n' giggles. I get that you're joking, but it does irk me some when people rip on people in the bod-mod scene for being 'fucked up' :(

[–]Rapistsmurf 6 points7 points ago

So noted. Stereo type unchanged.

[–]Semi_Chivalrous 1 point2 points ago

I don't like dubstep, or the dubstep fanbase on the whole for that matter, but I don't assume they're all retards because they differ in musical taste. Just sayin', you can express distaste all you like, I'd just ask that you don't assume it's a reflection on them as a person.

[–]colbyshairbrush 4 points5 points ago

Somebody needs a hug!

[–]Tumi90 1 point2 points ago

Body-mods like this are pretty in your face, so of course some people are going to rip on them. It's just a natural reaction to oppose something you don't understand and since a lot of people never get taught an alternative response to different and scary things and people, they have no chance but go with what they know.

[–]Semi_Chivalrous 0 points1 point ago

These ones aren't permanent. The wearer most likely removed them after a half hour or what have you. I get people expressing disdain for it, totally get that, people do it with watersports or scat fetishists all the time, maybe rightly so because it's quite a weird thing to do if it doesn't appeal to you.

What I don't approve of is assuming that it's some reflection on the person who got those mods, as though the only reason they could have for having that sort of an appearance is because they want attention, or are just damaged goods.

[–]Tumi90 0 points1 point ago

Her subdermal implants seem pretty permanent to me, unless of course she has them taken out.

I may have been unclear on the point i was trying to convey. I completely agree that making wild assumtions about people based on their apperance is stupid, but most people are going to do it any way.

The sheer volume of people content to never question their way of thinking makes trying to change this pretty much like trying to purify the ocean into drinkable water...

[–]Semi_Chivalrous 0 points1 point ago

I wouldn't say so. The amount of progress that's been made towards tattooing becoming more socially acceptable has been staggering.

And those skewers could never heal. They're too obtrusive, and so they'd get knocked about too much. Same goes for corsets or any kind of surface piercings.

Oh god tell me that's not real! That silly girl (i'm assuming it's a girl?)

[–]DerelictDiety 17 points18 points ago

If that's not a female, that's a hell of a tuck n' tape job.

[–]thescrapplekid 3 points4 points ago

Its temporary

Play piercing generally is.

[–]Twosauced 8 points9 points ago

If that's a dude, he is never playing with a vagina again.

"again"?... that's quite the assumption, there.

Even though this is posted weekly I always wonder why somebody would do that. There's no way it's permanent, so why do it?

[–]Shouldknowbetter 0 points1 point ago

Nope!

[–]jrgreenie123 0 points1 point ago

He will definitely never regret that decision.

[–]JamesFrancisRyan 0 points1 point ago

Chances are they did not stay in longer than a coupe of hours. Every surface piercing I've done has been completed, then photographed, and generally removed within 30 minutes of completion.

Some people keep them longer, but these are by no means permanent.

[–]jrgreenie123 0 points1 point ago

Oh alright. That makes me feel a lot better about the whole situation.

The needles in the hands are different needles from the ones in the arms.

[–]h8sgonah8 -1 points0 points ago

Seems legit..

[–]LouSpudol 1 point2 points ago

This looks like it would get infected within minutes.

[–]JamesFrancisRyan 0 points1 point ago

Unless the needles are not sterile, the only real risk of infection is when the needles are taken out. The pressure being placed on the needles by the skin helps keep a pretty tight seal.

Once the needles are out, a good scrubbing with some antibacterial soap and a small application of Aquaphor will keep things pretty. As long as you keep it clean, the holes will close in under a weeks time.

[–]XxAtreyuSinsxX -1 points0 points ago

[–]ExplosiveChristmas 1 point2 points ago

Now imagine what would happen to his arms and hands if he ever tripped and fell. Or if they got caught in something.

[–]vivolleyball15 0 points1 point ago

They are temporary. They take them out after about half an hour usually. Same with corset piercings.

[–]ponylover93 2 points3 points ago

And that's how you knit a human. Any questions?
