Coral inserts in the skull? So he actually drilled holes in his skull to implant the coral? That's going too far!

Actually coral is often used to replace bone because its organic, wont be rejected, and new bone fuses to it.

But I think he is referring to the guy who had increasingly larger and larger pLastic inserts placed under the skin of his head to make the skin grown outward abit. Then had coral "horns" put in. They have fused to his skull. I understand he has already sold his skull after his death for quite a bit of money.

More like ender...

I can see it now
Man 1 - "Oh, nice hat!"
Man 2 - "It is not a hat."
Man 1 - "It isn't?"
Man 2 - "No, it's part of my skull."
Man 1 - "Your scull?"
Man 2 - "Yes, it is coral that I had planet into my head for this cool look. blah blah blah."
Man 1 - "Oh...Right...Goodbye then." *Mumbling under breath* "Freak."

In a few decades, maybe horns will be all the rage.

Piercings and tatoos aren't something I've found appealing, yet. I might someday, but whatever.

I am, however, planning on freeing my tongue tonight. One of my roommates, a mortician, has a disposable scalpel that's still in the sealed sanitary bag.

Anyone got a link to a site with the guy with the horns?

Tats, piercings and coral oh my!
No link, it was a magazine article that I just couldn't finish reading, then a few days after that I saw the same guy on t.v. and it was even grosser. I didn't know coral was compatible. I'm sure a simple search on the internet with "body modification" or "coral inserts" would work. On second thought "coral inserts" would probably get you something really nasty from the internet. There is also a Re-Search book called "Modern Primitives" It's already about 8 years old but still very interesting. And its about a 9.5 on the "eeww" factor.
