The IDermal

While I both respect art and a persons right to do to his body what it is he or she pleases, this I simply do not understand. Dave Hurban gave himself four dermal piercings (Dermal Piercing, also known as Microdermal Piercing, is a kind of body piercing. It is a permanent method that involves making a perforation in the sub-dermal skin layer of the body. Such perforations can be made on almost all surfaces of the skin and can be removed only with the aid of a medical professional. This is why this is considered to be a permanent method.) in order to hold an ipod nano in place on his wrist like a watch. While the technology has in a way now become hands free and still useful the artist could have saved himself a lot of time and pain by getting a strap made for the nano to hold it in that exact position.

I am all for the freedom of expression through art and this is very much a fashion statement! I think that Dave's newest piercing is pretty cool but I could never go through with it, could you? The procedure itself looks quite painful and while Mr. Hurban didn't shed a tear he did shed a bit of blood for his new work of art. More power to you for living life the way you want it and representing yourself for who you are! While I like your new piercing I think I'll sit back and admire for now, I cant afford a new Ipod anyways.
