Catwoman Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Thank you for sharing the hideous photos. :ack2: I am constantly amazed by the things that some people consider to be attractive. Is it now considered trendy to look like you have a small alien creature waiting to burst out of your forehead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it now considered trendy to look like you have a small alien creature waiting to burst out of your forehead? Well, the last line of the article says: "On its (thankfully) short-term effects, Keroppy joked: 'We enjoy being freaks for the night!'" So, I think it's not so much to be attractive as different. Mission accomplished, imo. I don't really find it gross, just funny, I think because my cats get saline lumps, but I never considered that it would be used for body modification for fun. It's relatively harmless, I suppose (but I'm not a medical person so I don't know for sure), but I still wouldn't want a big needle to the forehead. :tongue_smilie: Seems like relatively harmless, but bizarre, fun, imo (depending on how you define 'fun' of course)....;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like such a bad idea on so many levels. And it's hideous. I'll bet a lot of people think they're contagious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know everyone would copy my I'm-allergic-to-mosquito-bites look. Man, I could have made so much money off of that. Next time I get a massive period pimple, I'm totally gonna patent that sweet look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Meh. It only lasts 16-24 hours. IMO, that's better than a permanently forked tongue, pointy ears, or carving/scarification. :iagree: Hey, overall it's probably less invasive &/or dangerous than coloring your hair (which is more permanent than this). I'm sure that not-so-good-for-you chemicals from hair color leech into your body through your scalp (& the process is often repeated at about 6-10 week intervals) vs. relatively-harmless (& maybe even helpful) saline solution done once or twice a year. My view: Relatively harmless, but on the odd side. As far as the bagel look on my kitties.... Well, they're not thrilled to be getting IVs in the first place. If I messed around more trying to achieve the trendy look, I might be mauled & end up w/ a worse & more permanent look than bagel head myself.... :tongue_smilie::lol: No thanks.

Jeannie in NJ Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I wear bangs to hide the permanent red-purple bump in the middle of my forehead. My mom had the same bump. Maybe it is a family "beauty mark" lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inject some saline solution into it to puff it up, and you'll be ready for the cover of Vogue. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merry gardens Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Someone's anti-wrinkle injections went horribly wrong, but instead of admitting the mistake, someone is trying to pass it off as a new beauty trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celticmom Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I tend to agree that it is better than more permanent modifications. It is definitely something that I would not want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Klingons are cool. A human with a big donut under his or her forehead is not.

GailV Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) :lol: But, now that we're talking Star Trek, I'm thinking it's really more of a Ferengi look.... You're right -- that's definitely Ferengi! They just need to add the ears. And jank up their teeth. And, uh, strip off the clothing for females. Egads, who wants to make their self look like a Ferengi? Sort of sums up what's wrong with the entire concept, doesn't it?

Catwoman Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 If that girl wanted to get rid of her forehead wrinkles, she probably should have just opted for some Botox instead of going whole hog with the doughnut mutation thing. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
