Does That Come w/Cream Cheese?
Just when you thought you’d seen it all. Nose rings, horn implants, split tongues… what will people come up with next? Body modification has become increasingly popular over the years. While many jobs still frown upon it, many places are becoming more accepting of tattoos and piercings. But would your current boss hire you if you had… a bagel implanted in your forehead? Okay so not an actual bagel, but something shaped like one. Well boys and girls… hold onto your buttering knives because Japan has beat us to it. May I introduce… Bagelheads.
Bagelheads
Personally, I think that body modification, whether in the form of a piercing, tattoo, implants, etc.., should be flattering. No matter what someone says, the VISUAL part of the main effect of doing such an act. I mean, you can whine about how your tattoo represents this or that, but at the end of the day, you and everyone else has to LOOK at it, not hear about it, so if it’s not flattering then it’s not a good thing. There’s a reason they pierce your nostril where they do, or your eyebrow, whatever. Certain curves of the face are flattered by the little stud or ring. Now this.. the whole bagel thing, I just don’t see it. I’ve seen body mods that fit certain people, but I just will never wrap my hands around this one. Then again.. that may be the whole point of it! Maybe they want to just be as ridiculous as possible. Well boys, consider it a success. Um… I guess?
Let the Bagelhead process begin….
Manolith.com reports, “In their perpetual pursuit to “out-weird†the rest of the world, the Japanese have resorted to perhaps the stupidest body mod fad of all-time.
No, those kids up there in the photo aren’t suffering from progressed brain tumors. Rather, they are bagelheads: people who modify their body so that it looks like a giant bagel is growing out of their skin.
The look is accomplished through the use of a saline solution drip, which is injected at your local tattoo/piercing shop by a professional piercer. The injection causes massive swelling, which can then be molded and pressed into the shape of your choosing.”

They go on, talking about how you can modify your “bagel” with color, and it’s not limited to your forehead. Others have implanted them into their ass, boobs and arms. *shiver* It takes a lot to creep me out, but come on. If you were about to jump in the sack with someone, and they de-clothed to reveal a bagel-lump in their ass… what the hell would you think?? Ha. This is kind of awesome and completely insane at the same time. I love new and different things, and I love extremes.. so.. I like that this weird shit happens, but it doesn’t mean I have to.. um.. think it’s smart or anything like that. Ha ha, bottom line is people are going to do what they want to a certain extent. If these people don’t have jobs to worry about, then they will bagel-it-up as much as they wish.
