I think I posted the before picture of the big 1 1/4″ labret being put in the day before yesterday (sort of a funny photo) — thus the swelling — but I really wanted to share the after portrait because I really love the implants! These were implanted by Steve Haworth and made custom for him by Jesse Jarrell. Forehead reshaping (be it by implants, piercings, tattoos, scars, whatever) is one of my favorite body modifications…
Thanks to Nickk Leading (“inspired by Alec B.”) at Perforations in San Diego, CA for sending in this neat shot of a piece of clothing held in place using a set of 16ga surface piercings. Along these lines, some of the early SintheteX clothing designed by Jesse Jarrell was held in place via piercings.
As you probably know I have magnets inside my fingers, implanted courtesy of Steve Haworth (made by Jesse Jarrell and previously covered on BME). My magnets are mostly intended to be functional, to give me “magnetic vision“, but Steve and his partner Cookie recently opted for something far more romantic.
Each one got two magnet implants done; one in the fingertip, and the other behind the knuckle, positioned so that if they are holding hands, the magnets draw toward each other, linking them. It’s yet to be determined whether there will be a noticeable sensation or not (the magnets are very small), but on a purely symbolic level I really love it!
If you’re interested in something like this (or are an implant artist looking for silicone coated magnets), you can contact Steve via his website at stevehaworth.com.
I think by now most people have seen pictures of Jocyelyne Wildenstein, who used extreme cosmetic surgery to transform herself into a cat (sort of) in a failed attempt to win back the love of her billionaire husband. Well, last night Entertainment Tonight featured a new male champion of bizarre plastic surgery, Steve Erhardt, who has spent $250,000 to look more like a Ken Doll. He’s even the first recipient of bicep implants (well, not including Jesse Jarrell that is; he’s had custom muscle-wrapping implants for some time). Click the pictures below to skip to his story and see some video.
However, unlike Jocelyn who transformed herself to seek someone else’s approval, Steve claims that this is a personal decision and it’s making him happy — if that’s really the case (rather than an excuse), more power to him, and screw anyone who denounces him for these decisions.
And yes, he did go to the same doctor as Michael Jackson. Why do you ask?
