We’ve posted many photos of unusual piercings on getwonder.com , but I think these are the most painful of them all. Just imagine somebody pushing some pieces of metal under your skin until they fit into place. Sure being unique isn’t easy, but this is too much…at least for me.

Gone are the quaint days when bikies, pirates, crims and sailors were the only people with tattoos. Everybody has one now. Hell, even I do. All the crap about how a tattoo makes you different from the rest is, well, crap. So what’s an idiot with 500 bucks in their pocket got to do to be original these days? The answer is pocketing and it’s bloody filthy.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IMAGES MAY BE A TAD DISTURBING

Pocketing which was pioneered by a tattoo artist in New York is new. So new that most tattoo artists will laugh you out of the shop if you walk in and ask for it to be done. That’s because it’s insane and no tattoo artist wants anybody bleeding to death on their nice clean floor.

Pocketing is surgically implanting a piece of metal under the skin. An incision is made with a scapel, the metal is pushed through, the wound is stitched up. Some people opt for an anaesthetic others don’t…
The wound heals up and you’re left with a funny shape caused by something under your skin which shouldn’t be there.

A favourite among the ladies is the knuckle-duster worn (where else?) on the chest. Classy.

Men, oddly, shy away from handy pocket-sized weapons and choose metal stars. Pretty.

I reckon if I was the tattoo artist I’d implant the patient’s car keys instead, just to teach them a lesson.

Pocketing, it’s coming to a feral near you.
