In addition to extensive tattooing, he has had his nasal septum surgically altered, his lip clefted, his ears given feline-like points, and his teeth taken out and replaced with fangs. He's even had brow implants.Of all of these procedures, doctors say the implants pose the greatest risk. Anytime a foreign object is placed in the body, infection is a real possibility.<img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/07/20/Stalking_Cat.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Iguana MikeDoctors are very leery of transdermal implants like the metal spikes on the head of Iguana Mike. These implants feature protrusions that go through the skin - opening the door for infection. They say it would be best for any such implants to be added by a doctor - but question the ethics of any doctor willing to do the procedure.<img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/07/20/Silicone_and_Transdermal.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Skin StretchingRafa Gnomo, 23, used a series of progressively sized spacers to stretch the skin of his lip and nose. Some would say the Brazilian "neo-primitive" has stretched himself too thin - literally. But as odd as it might look to the uninitiated, skin stretching is considered relatively safe. In Gnomo's case, he's stretched his skin so far, it will never return to normal.<img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/07/20/Strech_Piercing_2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />An Ancient TraditionThe skin-stretching technique Gnomo used is actually an ancient technique that's been practiced in parts of South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.<img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/07/20/Strech_Piercing_RG.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Suspension: Not as Painful as It Looks?People who practice body suspension say it looks more painful than it really is. The hooks holding up this man were inserted into healed piercings - not stabbed through his skin. Heron Saline, 52, a San Francisco hypnotherapist, not shown here, says the piercings aren't too painful. "But what you call pain I prefer to call sensation," he tells "It's not necessarily negative".<img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/07/20/Suspension.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A Sacred Practice?Heron Saline says he has been partially suspended by hooks - though not been lifted from the ground like this photo. He says he and his friends find the practice spiritual. "The pulling is gentle and done with love," he says. "It is a sacred ritual and it's about doing it well - keeping each other emotionally, physically and mentally safe." But it would be hard to find a medical doctor who would approve this activity - infection and skin ripping are serious concerns.<img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/07/20/Suspension_2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" />Add some REP if you like the post<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /></blockquote>
