I hope he has a button on his other arm he can press and they all open up one at a time and fire out different coloured Poke Balls. Or maybe just 6 pikachu plushies.
I have tattoos and piercings all over the place but that freaks me the fuck out. That man is going to die a virgin. Not because "lolpokemon" bit because HE HAS GIANT FUCKING LUMPS RUNNING UP HIS ARM."
IDK, I think it's kind of neat. The implants are obviously new in that picture because the entry point is still wicked red, which means they haven't had time to settle. It'd be interesting to see how they hold up over time, and whether or not they migrate at all. The tats don't appear to be super amazing or anything, but he states in the article that he's going to expand on the rest of the arm, so it's possible the rest of the work he'll get done will enhance it. Maybe he wanted to wait until the implants were in to add a little bit of shading (I have no idea how tattooing over implants would work, or if there are additional risks involved) and all of that.
I don't understand why people are getting all flustered and upset over this, it's not like anyone here is obligated to go out and do the same thing. People who are into body modification are into it for lots of reasons, and I'm guessing impressing people on the internet is not one of them. The whole arm implant thing is actually pretty common in people who dig that kind of thing.
Man subdermal implants are fucked up, why would do that to your body?
Especially with Pokemon tattoos, I mean come on, they're fun games but jesus christ. I want a followup report when this man is 80. Or when he's 40 and has killed himself in a middle-aged identity crisis. Lame 90s pop culture references will only take you so far in life. Speaking of which, I hope he has a very open minded boss, or really good job security. I can't imagine walking into an interview with that mess on your arm.
I'm a professional bodymodfication dude for many years, have piercings, tattoos, scars, implants, all kinds of stuff. That said here's what I think.
I don't meet a lot of "nerds" and video game people like me at work. Maybe a triforce tattoo here and there. Most of the clients (aka normal people) don't like nerdy stuff too much, especially the more extreme things like cosplay and dudes staying inside the whole weekend playing WoW and eating bad stuff. They are the implants of video game people that gross most "normal" people out. As I'm stuck in the middle of things I hate seeing replies in these kind of threads. Just fucking let people do what they want to themselves. Most people look at your video game hobby like it's the most childish and stupid thing to do and I bet you don't like that. If some dude has bumps on his arm, big deal. Who cares. Atleast this guy would probably not look at you and go "what a manchild" as some other people might.
As for the implants, they're not uncomfortable. They're most likely pretty soft silicone half balls and the skin on the arm is pretty loose so they can move a bit. They won't change his ability to function if all goes well and it usually does. It doesn't hurt more to hit them when they're healed than it hurts to hit your arm without implants.
