This is What Happens When You Bang Your Implant

By Jordan Ginsberg • Feb 24th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


So … that’s unpleasant. A cautionary tale:

Well this is a lesson learned: Never fight if you have implants. I banged my arm on a wall during a fight and this was the result. It started off as a small graze and over a week the pressure opened the hole right up. The implant is clearly visible and it got infected; obviously, it had to be removed.

Guhhh. See? A life of nonviolence, among the many other benefits, will probably keep your implants from rotting out of your goddamn arm. At any rate, we wish this fella the best of luck in healing.

    Ohh, ouch. I hope he learns a lesson. fights = not good for mods! or other stuff too.

    What material??

  4. s on February 24th, 2009 at 8:11 pm:

    Stuff like this is why I would never get implants. Ugh.

  5. unchain on February 24th, 2009 at 8:13 pm:

    And this is why I don’t fight people

  6. snoogans on February 24th, 2009 at 8:34 pm:

    Eek. they look exactly like mine. Location wise anyway. Good thing I avoid trouble LOL

  7. Diva on February 24th, 2009 at 8:41 pm:

    When you have heavy mods, you obviously have to be careful.

  8. Navi on February 24th, 2009 at 8:53 pm:

    Oh yikes. A similar thing happened to me with an unknown piece of glass in my leg. Fucking unpleasant.

    Maybe no implants for me. :)

  9. Mandic on February 24th, 2009 at 9:23 pm:

    Thus why no implants for me. Working on cars and construction I just don’t think I could I have implants.

  10. Jackzilla on February 24th, 2009 at 9:35 pm:

    Oh God it looks like a massive zit in desparate need of popping.

    For some reason, out of everything I’ve seen on ModBlog, this is the most unsettling.

  11. Jexon on February 24th, 2009 at 9:56 pm:

    You need make knuckleduster implants for betta fightin’!!

  12. nk on February 24th, 2009 at 10:03 pm:

  13. HereKittyKitty on February 24th, 2009 at 10:29 pm:

    I thought that was a worm in it.
    Even if it just appears to have a maggot in it….Oh Hell no…worms!
    WEEERMS!

  16. slummyx on February 24th, 2009 at 11:37 pm:

    Shit bob….. that is some serisoul nasty ass stuff!!!!!!!!!!

  17. VOMIT on February 24th, 2009 at 11:39 pm:

    Ouch! Thats one of the reasons why I’d be a bit iffy about getting implants on my arms where I would most likely hit them all the fucking time

  18. Kelly on February 25th, 2009 at 12:28 am:

    Well, hopefully you beat the crap out of the other guy.

  20. HereKittyKitty on February 25th, 2009 at 1:07 am:

    Oh…bob…….no…
    *tears*

  21. kit on February 25th, 2009 at 2:10 am:

    im new to implants….how can you tell which part of this horrible mess is the implant? it pretty much just looks like pus and congealed blood in one part….

  22. aspirin on February 25th, 2009 at 6:55 am:

    never take an implant and fight like hell

  23. PiercerDan on February 25th, 2009 at 8:51 am:

    I have had implants on my forearms for about 9 years now, been in tons of fights and mishaps, never had anything like this happen. Lots of swelling sometimes, lots of scrapes and bruises but never something that made them wanna come out.

    As an added non violent part, i have also broke my arm with them in and recently fell through a window in which my implant saved my ulnar nerve. So yay for implants!! Ill have to submit pics when i get organized :)

    Sorry to see this happen to someone though, the others look nice still.

  24. Burcu on February 25th, 2009 at 11:44 am:

    Yarggggggg

  25. Noadi on February 25th, 2009 at 3:49 pm:

    This is why as much as I love the look of implants I could never get any. I’m unlikely to get into a fight but between my job and my pets the chance of something like that happening is too high (also why my mods are confined to tattoos, one piercing ripped out was one too many for me).

  26. Max Brand on February 25th, 2009 at 4:50 pm:

    you should never fight for any reason….

  27. Mike on February 25th, 2009 at 9:04 pm:

    That is the stupidest thing I have heard all day.

  28. wildefae on February 26th, 2009 at 5:40 pm:

    …..ew.

  29. ward. on February 27th, 2009 at 12:22 am:

    Pretty much why I’d never consider a forearm implant.

    [...] - And this is what an infected and rejecting implant looks like. [...]

  31. goldust on February 28th, 2009 at 2:19 am:

    Grm… I like implants, but I can’t be so careful to carry them in me…

  32. la on March 2nd, 2009 at 7:45 am:
