Back in the day, tattoos used to be a shocker. If you had a tattoo, you had to be in some biker gang or are living life on the edge. Now, tattoos are just decorative body adornments, much like your favorite shirt. Same with piercings. There was a time when having multiple parts of your face and body pierced made you the coolest, freakiest person in the neighborhood. Now? Pffft. That 15 year old kid down the block just got a bunch of them too.

What hasn’t seemed to catch on to the mainstream set yet are horns and other bodily implants. Right now, it can still feel a little too freaky prancing around the street with bulging Satanic implants looking to break out of your skin. If you truly want to be the coolest freak in your clique, there’s no other way around it – transdermal implants are the way to go.

Ouch The Pain

Transdermal implants will be painful. Even though you’ll be amply anesthetized, you’ll likely still feel some of it, especially after the procedure. Even worse, some implantees have complained of continued pain due to the skin trying to accommodate the implant well after the sutures have healed.

A Part Of You

Horn and spike implants made from teflon and stainless steel are easily removable via another operation should you decide to get rid of them. Coral-based materials, however, are supposed to eventually calcify and become permanent parts of your bone structure.

In The Future

I’m willing to bet good money that in the future, horn and spike implants will be so common we’ll have all sorts of people resembling comic book characters. It wouldn’t be surprising too considering how piercings and tattoos eventually came to be regular, everyday things.
