Death? 100 milliAmps can stop the heart. Those piercings mentioned below create a perfect current path thru the chest. Anyone doing that deserves the consequences.

Exactly my thought when i read the first post.
I have to agree with this. I'm too squeamish to do something like actually perforate myself deliberately with a piece of metal and then walk around with the metal still hanging off my body, though the hole I made. Ouch! As for tattoos, I don't think I'll get those either because, sure it may look cool now, but one day I'm going to be an old man and tattoos don't look good on old people.

I agree with you Kamog on the tattoo thing. But as for piercings, if you don't want them anymore, just take them out for a few months, and the hole often heals over. Plus, I barely felt it, and it looks great (I think, so does my girlfriend.)

It seems no one else here has body piercings...does anyone? Or are you guys just not admitting it. I just hope my parents don't find out...

Piercings and tattoos were on my list of things to do when I got out of the military (like long hair, beard, gut). The problem is that they now violate my sense of "hackerness". Too "default". Too mainstream. I would have loved tribal tattoos but they are too common now.

However, I just started a conversation on the alt.hacker newsgroup on this same subject. We are working on the "next level". Piercings and Tattoos which include LED's and optic fibers inserted under the skin, to simulate borg and cyborg implants. The power source would be worn seperately. Now we just have to worry about the fact that the power arrangment we had in mind is already patented by microsoft.

I want an optic fiber insert of a tribal tattoo on my forehead which is invisible until I look like Im concentrating and then it starts glowing.
