Your skin, muscles, organs... all working together in harmony to create a beautiful unified whole. Skull Implants Ever feel like you just never want to wear a hat again? Just in the mood to keep your hair at a buzz cut for the rest of your life? Then you need to go find someone to drill holes into your skull and shove threaded spikes into the holes! Lane Jensen's boob leg Lane Jensen was just a random guy with a sexy lady tattoo on his leg. Nothing weird there. Or rather, there WAS nothing weird until he decided the girl's flay 2 dimensional features were just not enough for him and he decided to get something to fix it.

This dude is like your one-stop shop for body mods. Can't have a list of body mods and not mention elf ears somewhere in there. It's a relatively simple procedure to sharpen an ear and make it look elfish, but good luck find a surgeon willing to do it. Scarification, cause if tattoos just aren't edgy enough for you, you could always permanently scar your body! Oh wait, don't do that. Genital Pearling Here's one that'll make all our male viewers grab their own junk in fear: Genital Pearling!
