Extreme Face Tattoos

Extreme Tattoos

Tattoos which cover the face and neck are among the most extreme when considering the social consequences of the practice, and so those committing to it take big chances and risks to be inked on the face.

Here are a couple of new facial tattoos I found that I haven't seen before. While they're two completely different styles, they still do the same thing: create an instant barrier between many people and the bearer of the art.

Although they're both odd in looks, the tattoo photo on the top seems somewhat dark, as well as the guy wearing it.

Extreme Piercing | Corset Piercing on Neck

Extreme Piercing

This corset piercing on this guys' neck is a little too much for me. While I know these are usually done for the sake of a photo and then the ribbons or cords are removed, but even so, having something like that on my throat would be very uncomfortable. Talk about a tickle on your throat.

Another thing I don't like is doing the ear stretching thing. The corset piercing, while uncomfortable, in general, once removed, is pretty much gone, maybe other than small and hard to notice little marks. With the ear stretching though, that's one that will really cause permanent body modification, and the ear is right there to see at all times.

Someone doing this must be making a lifelong commitment to wearing it in their ear, as the ear would look horrible just dangling from the stretching.

Lars Krutak - "The Tattoo Hunter"

Tattoos

Dubbed the 'tattoo anthropologist,' Lars Krutak spent four years traveling around the world in search of unusual tribal tattoos, scarification and body modification rites of the few tribes left in the world.

In some cases Krutak partook in the rites and the tribes gave him some tattoos or scarification marks on his body.

He has a show on the Discovery Channel called "The Tattoo Hunter" where it unveils the journey he took to discover the practices of the remaining tribal life on hte earth.

Extreme Branding | Scarification New Tattoo?

Extreme Branding

There's a growing movement among those practicing body modification and tattooing to move towards scarification as the means of putting designs in their skin.

Among a number of people this is evidently considered a spiritual experience of some sort.

As scarification or body branding gains in popularity, it will be interesting to see the quality of branding designs which emerge, and if they'll reach the variety and quality of tattoo designs.

They definitely give a different look than tattoos.

Extreme PIercings with Hoops on Man's Face

Extreme Piercings

I found this photo of an extremely pierce man was hilarious when taken with I spotted it a forum on finding information on "moving to, living in and life in Finland."

Imagine that being the first impression of what you new life would be like when you arrive.

As far as the piercings themselves, they're really wild, and I wonder what the guy looks like when he takes them out and has all those little holed in his face.

Extreme Body Modificaton | Wolverine Wannabee - This is Not Our Idea of Hugh Jackman

Extreme Body Modification

In one of the more bizarre body modifications I've seen, this looks like a Hugh Jackman, Wolverine wannabee.

The least the guy could have done would have been to have put his hair in the style Wolverine wears. At minimum that would have added a cool element to it.

Also, if he tried swiping those things at anybody, his hands would suffer more damage than those he would have tried to scar up.

Sorry, this just doesn't do it for me. Retract the claws. Whatever you were attempting to say or do by doing this to yourself, it doesn't seemed to have worked.

Extreme Body Modification | The Lizardman "Carved" Out His Niche

Extreme Body Modification

Most people have probably seen a photo and video of lizardman, who has created a career out of his evident desperation to be noticed; and need for fame.

Some of the things he's done to modify his body have been tatoos, splitting his tongue, shaping his teeth and implants.

For whatever reason, turning himself into a freak doesn't bother him, but has been very profitable, as he's been books at a variety of shows and festivals around the world.

Maybe the best thing you can say about it is it maybe beats a 9-5 job.
