Transdermal implants ---diamond studs---

So, after much deliberation I've decided I would like this:
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...yangtattoo.jpg as
my first/only tattoo. I want it on my back, in the center between my
shoulder blades.

Eventually, when I have money to play with, I'd like to make it a bit
more complex. I'd like to have 8 diamonds implanted into my skin.
One at each point in the octagon surround the yin/yang. Read about it
a bit----vaguely---- apparently it's called a transdermal implant.
But I've never heard of anyone who's had anything like it. Not sure
how big I want the diamonds to be.

How about having a brain implanted first?

It's not the first time I've seen this. Are you sure you want to be one
of many other people running around with the exact same thing?

Right ;).

Check bmezine.com, look for "microdermals". They're usually not real
diamonds.

Of course, you could also save up and get a tattoo that's more complex
to begin with ;).

What would be the point?

Except the points. And there is the rub.

A diamond is forever. Except when it's implanted.

Then it's just stupid.

I stand corrected.

Except that it will probably reject.

So I'm still correct. Kind of.

Also, why diamonds? Don't people realize that if the diamond cartels
would release all the diamonds held, they'd be as common and as cheap
as cubic zirconium?

*Shrugs* I think the yin/yang with the trigrams of i ching would look
good. It's a simple pattern, but to me it represents unity of the
universe, a balance in life. I don't care who else has it, I want it
for me.

As for the diamonds, I suppose it's sort of a status thing. I only
have one body, why settle for cubic zirconium?

Why would it reject?

So take that terribly boring, utterly plain design to a good tattoo
artist and have them work up something interesting from it.

Research before you ask that question.

Oh please, fuck your inner child, figure out if you are actually are a
Christian, or you're "just spiritual," learn the true meanings of
symbols, and beyond all, learn how to do research.

But Yin-Yang is so uber-cool. I'm sure he understands all it means.

At least he's not looking for kanji for his name.

You only have one body, why settle for a generic tattoo?

Come up with your own symbolism!

Because they sometimes do, depending on the strain that's put on them.
Although presumably the current technique is better than just putting
a labret stud under the skin. Which leaves you with the problem of
finding a qualified practitioner.

I've heard that tattoos can fade with time, and that detail will often
be lost. I'll do touch ups if it starts to fade, but I'd like to keep
the tattoo simple and fairly basic nonetheless. I thought of having
lots of patterns in the yin/yang, but then I thought it'd just take
away from the whole. I like it the way it is. The thing that would
make it unique is definitely the gem implants. How much do they
typically cost? How much would they cost if I had great gems and a
great artist to implant them?

Wow. Yeah, there's one in every group, I guess. *laughs*

That's why you use sunblock on them.

Can't help you there.

Why do people get tattoos?
People sometimes get tattoos for personal reasons, like for courage or
for loved ones, but sometimes people get tattoos to give the
impression of coolness or popularity. I personally like them because
they are a personal form of art. In a way the body is the canvas.
