One of the newest forms of body modification is the implant. The implant is is a item, the shape is down to the person, embedded under the skin, pressing against the surface and creating the shape pushing out of the skin. A deep incision is made into the flesh and the item pushed inside under a thick layer of skin.
Creating what appears to be a body implant on someone could be really interesting, if done right could make it appear as though it is embedded in their skin and not applied on top. I will experiment and see if any ideas strike me for my final looks.
