Randomly exciting thing for me that maybe half a dozen people will 'get'

I can see the relation, sure. It's just there is a difference between the use of colour and the use of a knife. I think the best way I can describe how I view it is... tattoos usually add to the aesthetics of the body, whereas implants, or scarring tend to take the aesthetics away. I'm really trying not to be a bigot, as like I said -- each to their own, it just certainly isn't my cup of tea. I guess I'm far more of a traditionalist in terms of body art.
Having read through this thread it really seems no one seems to grasps the whole subjective view on what Penski is doing.
It's his body / money / life - I don't get why you are ripping into him and calling him a "******" as I read above for choosing to do something to himself that doesn't impede on anyone else's lives.
Surely if it is not your thing you don't need to rant - he isn't holding you down and doing it to you.
Anyway...
From what I have seen Penksi it looks pretty cool - not my thing myself, but could see it looking quite awesome on the right person.
The guy with the studded mohawk looked cool - but then I realised that it was screwed into my skull and it made me feel ill!

I easily get raised scars when cut, but having had a couple of accidental incidents that would be similar to a strike brand it doesn't scar in the same way, I get a light, slightly depressed scar instead.
It could be you'd react similarly, might be worth a little test if you really wanted a brand done.
They aren't screwed into your skull
The 'bases' are implanted under the skin and protrude through the skin (hence 'transdermal') and 'tops' are screwed into them.

yeah, I think I probably would try it, but not just yet - I'm currently stretching my conch, and I made a rule that I'd only do 1 mod at a time - I really didn't think that through!

Why have people taken to being so dumb in this thread. Its Penski's body and money, so he can do what he likes. There is no need for the personal attacks.
As this is a forum, he can post what he likes (so long as it is within the rules)
Me, i think its a bit of a strange thing to do, but hell, if he and his mrs gets kicks out of it then so be it.

I'm sick of this usual tattoo / piercing debates so I'm just going to say hope you have fun and don't forget to let me see the microdermals when they're done, if you have them somewhere I willing to look at anyway

Penski unfortunately for people like yourself who find body modifications enjoyable, you'll always have a problems posting in such forums as this. Generally the majority of people find this type of thing, or even extensive tattooing or piercing for that matter…..freakish. I doubt society in our lifetimes will change on this. Lets say for example if you where to take a job interview in a bank, having passed the test on the C.V’s hobbies and interest section stating beads, piercing and tattoos, do you think you would get the job if you turned up with dreds?
My point is there are a lot of “normal” looking people out there that commit horrible freakish crimes. It’s what’s on the inside that counts, please do not attack this guy when you know nothing about him.

Quite possibly not but then a bank (or indeed almost any business) is concerned with appearance and many pay you to represent the company as they see fit so that could be uniforms, lack of piercings or to have your hair cut in a buzzcut. Would I be likely to get a job in a tattoo parlour though? I'm not tattooed, pierced or have microdermals so I probably don't represent the image that most tattoo parlours or piercers wish to portray - the judging goes both ways.
Appearance doesn't define a persons morality, perhaps that is why you picked banks being as they are generally viewed as presenting a respectable image while indulging in some very unsavoury practices. However appearances do shape peoples opinions of others, I judge people on their appearance quite frequently because it is natural to do so but I've been wrong enough times to know that my first impression isn't necessarily correct and therefore may need re-evaluated after speaking to them further.
Weird, that...I've nearly always worked customer facing roles. Be it stacking shelves in Safeway when I was 16 or face-to-face client work for my more recent employers.
I've always found that my abilities and professionalism speak far louder than a shaved head, bible quote tattoos and big earlobes.

Looks cool though - do you have an idea of what you want to do with this guy? quite interested in what you wanted doing.
