I've Got You Under My Skin

Do you ever have something just pop out at you that makes you go, "Damn, who the hell would want to do that?!" I saw this link on BoingBoing and it made me react the same way my parents did when I got my belly button pierced in 1994. (It got all infected and gross and I had to take it out even though I followed the piercer's directions by the book, so now I just have a healed over hole. No bikinis for me. Boo-fucking-hoo.) I guess I'm all conservative and shit now that I'm a homeowner and buying fancy furniture from places like Dania, but if I tried to put Klingon implants in my forehead, my head would probably puff up with infection and even the body modification fans would be repulsed. (I mean, I can't even wear earrings anymore because they irritate my ears so much that they hurt and turn red.)

So I think I'll stick with external adornment, like purses. Although, it would be neat to see a handbag inserted under someone's skin. Maybe a nice Birkin? It's a classic, so that might be a better bet than a Hobo. I mean, if it's under your skin, you want it to be in style for the long haul. Am I right?
