Japan Body Inflation

Whaaat O_O First time I've seen this, as well ^^;;

Evolution of Botox...?

wats the fking point on doing that

that is probably the weirdest trend i have ever seen, not sure why anyone would want to deliberately make their face deformed like that.

That is probably the scariest thing I've seen people do with their skin....(in real life, not movies....)
Seems like its one extreme after another...

That's can't be healthy. I couldn't click through to the eyeball thing, this was rough enough.

Creepy...

Oh wow that's... bizzare! XD I voted for the body inflation because it sounds like it's not permanent (I guess as long as you don't do it too many times). Let's see which part would I inflate... Chest area perhaps? ^^;;;

Yuck. I've seen eyeball tattooing before, but I think this is much worse. It can't be good for your body. D:

can I inflate my boo... forget it

If I had to I would do the body inflation since after a while the fluid would disperse and you would look normal again.
I generally try to keep sharp objects away from my eye's as I tend to enjoy having normal vision and wish to keep it that way.

That's a lovely blood stain on that guy's shirt =P

Wow! Hmmm... Wonder if this works on Dolphins. Haloween would be a good time.

Seeing this gives me chills down my spine ;_;

Reminds me of the skin diseases and tumors I saw when helping treat people in Cambodia.

Yeah, nothing could ever go wrong...

Saw this on JP as well... pretty freaky. But...eye tattoo?! If I had to do one I would do body inflation.... probably of my arms or something because I'm so skinny they would probably just look "normal" afterward.

ANYTHING but the eye tattoo! O_O >_<

Oh my god...

Wow, that's so gross.

I see no motivation behind doing that.

I'll chose neither. I couldn't take either one nor would I ever want to.

Why, why would you do that?

The eye tattoo is worse I think, but neither are good.

Damn!!!!! That is f****** gross!!!

I would say goodbye to my collection.

LOL!! ppl are crazy! and.... isn't it supposed that if u tatoo your eyeball u'll be partially blind i mean it might break some veins in the eyeball and isn't this body inflation dangerous too?! O.O and i mean look at the 1st man the one with the huge inflation his left eye can't open! i think that's stupid i mean u might endanger your well being and probably your life! and anyways i think it looks ... scary ^^ i'd never do any of this 2 things but still i respect those ppl.

So ugly and so stupid to do.... I don't like this way to destroy the face...

Pretty weird, but they seem happy enough with it. I like the eye tattoo better, but that's not saying I'm going to go out and get one. That needle going into your eye while you watch...*shudders*

omg booth of the option i can not choice.
making that those Body Inflation is difficult for me to wear glasses

No otaku collection is worth the risk of permamnent body mutilation but for the sake of the lolzy argument, I'd go with inflation with 3 ridges in my forehead. then I can cosplay as a Predator or a Klingon (these guys are p'tahqs BTW)

Stargate? Startrek?

Anyone?

This can't be healthy in the long run.

That is incredibly disturbing to me...

In the first pic the guy on the right looks like his eye is inflated shut.

OMG! *faints*

Maybe I could inflate my.. nahh

Good bye otaku collection, it was nice knowing you. I wouldn't get body inflation or a eye tattoo. lol It's interesting but not my flavor of tea.

EW!!!!!!!!

Uh...No thanks, I'd rather keep my body clean.

well you see or learn something new everyday lol.

I saw this a little while ago on modblog.bmezine.com, they said people are calling it "bagelhead". If it's saline, it will just go down as it gets absorbed. If you think this is something, look up the Enigma, he's awesome.

Christ!! That top guy can't open his left eye!!!!

and I thought wanting to pay ridiculous sums of money to dye your hair grey was weird...

Creepy...

But if the choise between the two is inevitable, then I'll tattoo my eyeball with Geass...

The body inflation is disgusting, but slightly preferable to (and less permanent than) a tattoo on my eye.

I can't see the eye tattoo thing catching on, even with the hardest Yakuza.

I wonder what people are going to come up with next...

Actually body inflation has all along been around, it's called plastic surgery and involves silicone implants for that "perfect" bust! :-P

They look like they just got their asses kicked...

... the bald one MORE SO.

i rather commit seppuku

I have seen this before ^^ , well i was watching TV i saw this ^^ well they were using jewelry when they were doing this to make it look like had horns and spikes all implanted under there skin while having the metal sick out + they use the collegian to deform there backs and face and all over to make them look different ^^.

Body modification... though I have nothing against people who does it, I myself would never do extreme stuff like that.
Scarification, silicone injections, hooks, needles, eye tattooing and inflation... those are the stuff I'd never do.

I dropped most of my piercings and have my tattoos... no regrets, but those are enough for me.

But I can't say anything about tomorrow... I am kinda curious about how it feels (extreme pain, I know) to be suspended by hooks.

I would rather lose my collection instead of putting weird stuff like that on my body. Seems like there might be some old age side effects later on too.

This is just weird...
They look like they have a few donuts in their head.

both things are so bizarre XD wouldnt be able to choice any of them...

Its not even symmetrical...

What the ???

Its really creepy >_> whats the point in doing that ?

Gotta unsee this ...

My stuff stays! Pass the saline! Target the big toes! That's gonna make a neat caption pic.

Mmm.. donuts.

Holy God...

Are those permanent? If not, I would try one just for the hell of it XD.

Eeewww.... I don't think that is good for the body or your eyeballs.

wow. i hope thats not pernament. that looks positively awful.

Japan - The home of weird

i'd inflate..... various things...

Crazy. But I totally believe in expressing one's self. I have tattoos and plan to get many more. I don't think I'll ever inflate anything though. :)

aaaa~~ I don't want it even vote the poll XD

Ewwwww, I wish I never clicked onto this page ><

This is a new one on me.

Inflate would definitely be better than eye tattoo for me.

great, what we all need; real life boomers @__@
seriously, that's what the faces remind me of. Why the unnatural adjustments? Blarghhhh DX

Holy crap~ Thats creppy!!! wtfbbq....

T-this seems a bit too gross for me ):

People enjoy body modification, i myself have 11/16th ear lobes, a 6g septum piercing, and my nostrils pierced. I love modification.
I don't think I would ever do this though, I don't like injecting unnatural chemicals into my body in any form.

They might want to give these guys a mental check-up before inflating them. Because they're obviously not in their right minds if they want something like this.

i wonder if they ever thought what it would look like when they get older

I won't do that. D=

I want to know if it feels squishy... =_=

woah, that's just weird, and creepy. How do they get it out though?

This belongs under the "Things You Can't Unsee" category.

well piercings are one thing and it's done all over the body now a days, just like tattos...then i heard of "scarification" where wounds are inflicted in a design puposely for making a permanent scar on the body....but now this???!!!! this is tooooo WHACK dude.........

their faces just look like those that came out of a sonic blastman punching game arcade

first time i have ever seen anything like this, its actually painfull to look at. i would definatly never do anything like this.

Thats disturbing.
...really, really disturbing. >_<

reminds me of "certain" guys that inflate their biceps with some oil. Quite stupid IMO, the size isn't all, the form and the power.. also the satisfaction of working them.
*sigh about these guys.. well doesn't matter, they are already ugly without those inflated stuff. The wrong way to inflate the ego.

About the question, Danny-san you should know that theres not always 1 or 0, there's another alternative left. I choose none, I choose to live longer.. get more moneis and get a better collection. ;P

Also, isn't that dangerous and painful? Some people need to meet Pinhead XD

Perfect for halloween

This is disgusting >_<;;;

I puked a little in my mouth.

This like watching a horror movie all over again !!!!

I really wonder how they get to shape the liquid, will it stay that way?

I think kids would run away if they saw a body part of mine inflated. Walkin tha streets. :x

Read "* While it’s not that dangerous, some people who’ve done it regularly have found their skin has permanently expanded." No pls.

I didn't vote because I pick none of the above.;)

Too weird for me!

Creepy :(

Orc/goblin fetish?

O_O

I have never seen such guy in japan.

Their bodies, their business, but I won't be doing this to myself. Not for the rest of eternity.

They are hurting the nature of their own body..zzz

I voted for eye tatoo without second though.

But then I googled it, and I think I'd let go of my collection =S

Dude, that's just gross. Totally unappealing.

wow... never knew there's something like this

Tumour in the face is the new cool

too extreme !!!

This is freaky.

Someone is bound to make a funny shape on them eventually. I can already picture it...^^;

its too too too bizzare. and freaky. and unappealing.
and gross too : /

I was going to vote for 'eye tattoo' on your poll but then I googled it and its doesn't look
good either so I think I'd let go of my collection then : /

gross to even comment. i can only think weird things in my mind right now. wonder how they remove it? dremel with saw attachment perhaps...

Must....save......collection.... Where's the nearest eye tattooist.

*facepalm* Ughh...

What the ^@#$! And its not even Halloween yet...

Thought they were beaten by someone.

Perhaps they were influenced by this guy? http://www.thelizardman.com/

That eye tattoo thing is just about the freakiest thing ever. Any why would anyone want that anyway? No one wants a needle in the eye of all places. >__<

I just hope that the people who decide to do this stuff to their bodies know what they're in for in the long run (read: old age).

I've seen this on Ripple's believe it or not, but it still creeps me out. I guess there's something attractive about it, I can't see it.

Ciao!!

Ugh...that is seriously disgusting.

why...............WHYYYYYYY wait a sec what if someone does that on the dolphin? hmmmmm

i dont think eye tatoo is anywhere close to being as bizzare as this, this is just plain sick

Gross and Bizarre , I have so far haven done anything to my body ^.^ .

P.S. Not a good post to see when you're eating donuts =.=

Thats freaky stuff o.O

Thanks Danny, that was just about the last thing someone needs to see right before going to bed. =D

/me clicks on Bunny VS Cat link to cleanse mental palette.

It makes me sick. Hwaaagh kimoooooi!!!

dont understand why people love this kind of things, do they pain?

Why, why? =[

Now, why would people wanna plant donuts under their skins............... LOL!

.... why is this reminding me of Transmetropolitan comic book. Very strongly!

at least this doesnt seem to be permanent. Imagine being stuck with weird crap like that once you're in your 70s w/ grandbabies

Creepy, i like anime and some people like this.

This is actually rather... well really not my cup of tea. Plus this just can't be healthy or good for you in the long run.

Can't even fathom why anyone would want to look like that...

Scarry

People are free to do whatever they see fit as long as they are not hurting other people, but I just don't see the point of doing this other than looking stupid.

looks like a bad case of hydrocephalus to me, and they will actually get it from meningitis due to all this inflation.

Uhm i am still having trouble with the idea of this x_x

wh... what?

That's a bit odd. Why make yourself deformed? Oh well, whatever makes em happy. Can't say I understand why anyone would do that though. I can understand tattoo's, I can understand piercings... but a skin donut smack in the mid of your forehead? Looks wise... I just don't plain get it.

Hideous. Tsk tsk.

They look like characters from star trek.

so they want to look like monsters or demons. i guess the goth and metal scene has taken a new level

Thats a first. But it looks crap.

....

eeeeeee....so weird !!

no body inflation

no eye tatoo

that horror ...

Euuuwww... It looks soo nasty and bizare ! *Puke*
If they are doing it to get attention, then: Mission Complete !

Fail.

This is probably the most bizarre thing I've ever seen! O_o They look like the Swamp Folk from the new Fallout 3 DLC: http://xbox360media.gamespy.com/xbox360/image/article/996/996644/fallout-3-point-lookout-20090622015855671.jpg

I'm from in japan.
I don't have learning by ear
I think that this is not so popular

That's just awesome ; P

Thats just sick.

thats discusting

ok... Please tell me that the stuff is drained out after your done.

FOr a "clean and virgin" guy like me in terms of tatoos and piercings it's all gross but I would never let a needle touch my inner eyes so I raised the poll to 16% for the "alien style deformation"!!

Elephant man is the new black

sorry, not a fan of inflation/deflation
i'm a fan of armored & scales (meaning looking like lizard or heavily armored shells)
if i have to choose to become abnormal looking, i'm voting to become xenomorph instead!

No thanks. :|

Only made ponder why the liquid stuff doesn't sparkle out of the barldy guy considering all the percings he has... he should look like a fountain. Oo

I would get an tatoo then, permanent makeup maybe? *cheats* ^^;

Well, if they enjoy it.. have fun, nothing for me though - it's even hard to look at. :(

Not my cup of tea.
Rather spend on manga, figures and kits :P

Hmmm this is new. Not that I would try it.

Ugh. Back in the Philippines, this is what unscrupulous market sellers did to make their chickens look fresher and plumper--injected water into them. Not only is it painful, I'd say it's potentially dangerous. I mean, what of the chances of infection?

To say nothing about inflammation. My late grandma used to work in rice fields, and in her advanced age, the water absorbed in her legs made them swell to make walking painful. Anyone using this water treatment is going to regret it years down the line.

This is kind of extreme and rather scary :/
Doesn't look like it's good for your skin..lol

Creepy. I really hope this doesn't catch on.

that is so disgusting... same with the eye tattooing...
but looking at the lumps gives me goosebumps.. just imagine rubbing your head to feel this hard lump there... with very little sensation there..

Ugh! And I though body piercings set off my "squick factor". This is totally gross.

And they could have my collection after they pry it from my cold, dead hands... :) (and then I'd haunt them for good measure afterwards. XD )

A first time seeing it as well...does it have any future side effects occurring?...

I feel like poking that so bad.

Body inflation for my dolphin, thank you.

In the pre donut-ification pics, it looks like the have jumbo sized staph infections on their faces.

Dough..nut..forehead.. 89

That's freaking scary as hell looking. Who would want to do that, and why.

It looks really disgusting...Wonder why would people wanna do that kind of thing to their body?

Actually I saw this some time ago, but never got the guts to post it on my blog...Thats gruesome, to say the least...

Ah, BMEers. Not my kind of people. If they aren't sawing off their own arm to attach it to their twin brother's body, they're participating in very extreme pain olympics (do not look for it, I implore you).

I understand they want to push the limits of their own bodies, but how they go about it is just wrong on so many levels.

Who the heck wants a doughnut in their head??

Okay, this formally creeps me out...

Thats disturbing.

That is horrible! Why would u want that?
Is is permanant???

Ugh, that's disturbing and scary at the same time. Do they really found this attracting?

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH DOUBLE MIND FCUK

This is the first time I've ever heard of this. Why would someone do this?

Why bother defacing yourself for real when you have Photoshop to do it for you.
Best thing about my suggestion? No lingering aftereffects or traumas bar some really f-ugly picture :P

Wouldn't that kind of wreck your eyesight? Some of these pictures make it look like their eyes are pretty much sealed shut due to the injection.

Won't want to bump into someone looking like that y-y scary and ugly.

Err you know its a tough decision...I don't know which part I would infalte maybe a finger or something? but anyway thats just weird >_>

Being someone that has done some body modding in the past I have to draw the line at tattoo's and piercings which I have done both. Of this kind of lifestyle I am considered a conservative in that my tattoo is in a place that is easily concealable yet easily made visible. With my past piercing it was the same way for three of the four that I had plus the scaring was minimal with two having since disappeared. I have never understood the concept of branding or scarification along with splitting appendages such as the tongue or fingers or worse the dolphin ( Yikes !!! ). There are consequences to consider when doing some of these extreme modifications such as being able to get and keep an adequate career for one and if you have a spouse or child or family the definite potential for questions and ridicule for them.

I have been considering some new piercings, it really is more a fetish than a form of self expression which tattooing as a form of expression is limited for the wearer but greater for the artist and when it comes to piercing branding scarring and cutting there's nothing expressive about it other than you enjoy pain and you want people to look at you. I never did my modding to express myself while I have created artwork and written material to do my expressing. My modding was both out of curiosity and a desire to experience something new and found that I liked it enjoying the experience and the rush of the momentary pain.

The work these guys had done is only temporary as it is a saline solution that the body will absorb in a few hours to a day or two.

That is sick.. why would you want to make it look like you have birth defects?

Yes, I would love to have an inflated doughnut for a forehead. Who wouldn't?

Yeah... Actually its just disturbing looking.

What in the heck?!? They look like aliens or something... I sure hope that it's not permanent, because that's gonna look fugly when they get older.

That one guy isn't able to see with one of this eyes, isn't he? O_O

It's like having to choose between getting shot in the butt or getting a papercut in the eye.

Forget that.

More like Hollywood make up! LOL What's the point to make such thing? Not enough alien on the street?

Seems like it would be hard to apply for a job with those.

ummm ewww >__< OMG T____T thats just just~ nasty >__<

They must be hating themselves, therefore they are torturing themselves.

Wow. This is the scariest-looking body-modification I have ever seen! There is no way I would ever do these things. I wonder what kinds of jobs these guys have; I can't imagine that being OK with most employers, other than body-mod studios. I wonder what the long-term effects are.

Now I have seen . . . well, a lot (probably not all tho)
I thought the inserted spikes and under the skin additions (see the leopard man)
were the final installment of this type of self-expression
I suppose this is temporary tho . . . but are the after-effects temporary?
wow . . . new one for me

Wow, scare form of art. Looks impressive but sick. I would call it tumor art.

*Hugs collection goodbye and tosses it into a giant Aperture Science Brand Incinerator along with a companion cube*

Truly disgusting. Who would want to do that! Imagine the rash from the stretching skin, and that guy's eye is like...permanently closed!

Eye tattooing? Well, if I really had to keep my collection I would have the eye tattoo, in which the tattoo is of my actual eye, so I could live with it until I got it removed, and still look normal.

LoL @ fake tumor/cancer.

This just looks dumb and nasty worst I dont see any good that can come from doing this.

Wow, anyone who is young and is arguing with their parents about getting a tattoo or a piercing, just show them these pictures and they will be happy you aren't going this far and might ease up. I've seen metal implants under the skin before (the first time was probably 10+ years ago), but this takes it to a whole new level... that one guy reminds me of an alien in the video game Mass Effect x.x.

I have seen this before, and I have wondered whether if it hurts ever since

Thats a bit disturbing!!!!!

Not for me!!!

ewwwww!!!
I've never seen this before...and I don't think I ever want to see it again. Why? WHY?

Oh my, what would happen if it pops like a balloon? o.O

Just one thing: gross

:/

funny seeing the remarks of people in this thread. to me it's to each their own. their body, their choice, they can do what they want. i don't think it's gross, it's just something i wouldn't do i guess. i'm happy with my usual body mods of piercings and tattoos.

for body inflation, saline is usually used and will be absorbed by the body harmlessly in a few minute/hours, depending on size and area.

Ewww both make me feel sick just thinking about it, it's body mutilation!
The head inflation thing kind of make me think of some Start Trek characters... is this stuff reversible? I think their mothers will cry if they see it.

WELL, WHAT´S NEXT??? LOL!!!

Those guys must get some help.........ASAP!!!!

;)

WTH were these people thinking?

I have heard of this before, but never seen it.

I'm not sure if that's supposed to be "cool" o.O

ehhh they purposely do that to their body to make it like some alien being frm Startrek or star wars.

To cosplayers of Hyuuga Neji... Allow yourself to get a vein like inflation near the eyes and tatoo your eyes white, make your hair long and dress up like him...

some peoples are sick really lol

I'd be worried that it'd be dangerous! @_@ each to his own I suppose LOL

What has been seen, cannot be unseen...

Why, oh why was i so curious? >.<

I guess those are brain food for them XP

so why exactly do these people think it's cool when their head looks like they have terminal brain-cancer?

All I can say is: WHAT THE HELL?!!!
I'm sorry to everybody that likes that but that's too much for me! I think people is going crazy and doing very dumb things! I can't understand it!

Yeaaaah!

Why wait of an abscess to form naturally when you can kick-start the process yourself!

That looks hideous.
I'd rather can inflate a certain body part using a pump :)

that is just....unmentionable...

AY!, AY!, AY!, AY!, AY!
That's badly painful, that in the end...

Body Inflation: Bloody surgical procedures to bring your body back to normal
Eye Tattoo: You have to perforate your eyeballs by surgery when your heavily anesthesiated, and then replace it with a donor ones that matches your same eye colour

But to enjoy my good health, i won't proceed with that procedure, since my culture classifies it as a deadly one, and my fears advice me to prevent any type of teenage-ish body alteration procedures like this

The wierd stuff people do never fail to amaze me :/

I HAVE ONLY ONE THING TO SAY.
THAT IS:

EW!

[twitches and falls over trying to reach for mouse]

well,in my honest opinion it doesn't look pleasant to me

Would if be possible for you body to reject it?

Nice. But, it's dangerous. There's the risk of infection and allergic reaction and rejection, since the fluid is a foreign object to the body.... So... it's best to stick to piercings and tattoos- at least I will...

-_-" whats the point of inflation?!

Just like being hammered by a mallet or something... o.oa

Bizarre and awesome. Rocking badass look. Btw, is the process reversible??

That's one way to look like an ass.

1) First thing I thought was: Krispy Kreme Donut
2) People are gonna do what they want
3) Saw this and the eye tattooing before. Not for me.
4) I'd so start talking to those guys to get first hand info about the procedure...and to touch them things!

its not attractive to me. EYah.

Um NO

to all the places why not youre Dolphins?
-_-!

just a tad bit weird

Seems like some of Hokuto no Ken's victims..

Yeesh....

Real bugger of a hobby.

HOLY**** i'd never do something as half assed as that
