Implants = Freaky?

In body modification, an implant is a device placed under skin for decorative purposes. Implants and beading involve placing an object or objects under the skin to mold or shape the skin outwardly for a particular appearance. Such implants may be subdermal or transdermal. In the context of body modification, some may consider injections of silicone and other substances a type of implant as well. Some types of implants may be performed by doctor or other medical professionals, while others are performed by body modification artists. Personally, I think implants are a little over the extreme and are in some cases weird. I can totally understand body modifications to stand out, but this; this seems to be a little too much. Really, why would someone want this under their skin? In some cases they don’t even use an aesthetic while putting these implants under your skin. Yes, these implants can be decorative and pretty neat, but in other cases they can be really really weird and freaky. No one can take you seriously with this underneath your skin and it looks kind of gross. This isn’t in anyway supposed to offend someone with this body modification; this is my own opinion on this matter.  If you think putting implants or silicone under your skin is something you want to do, then do it, but to other people it looks disgusting and creepy. You must realize this so you will know not to get offended if someone gives you an odd look or make a judgmental comment that might be hurtful towards you. Implants are something that you need to think about before getting because they can ultimately change your life socially and physically. There are different types of implants including clavicle or collarbone piercings,  deep chest piercings, eyeball implants, flesh stapling, flesh plating and pocketing, genital beading and genital ribs, horn implants, magnetic implants, scrotal implants, subdermal implants, surface piercings, and transdermal implants; now none of that sounds pleasant. You might think these things are cool now, but you don’t realize how painful they may be and that can definitely change your mind. Sometimes less disgusting modifications are the way to go because they can be less painful and they look better. But of course you need to be open minded to the idea of implants but it’s hard for a lot of people to do that when it looks so unappealing. No matter if you want to or not people are absolutely going to think that you are a freak if you have these.
