The bumpy, lumpy art of saline inflation is all the rage amongst Japanese club kids.

This extreme body modification isn’t new, but it’s growing in popularity – particularly across Japan in cities such as Tokyo and Osaka where modders are converging on clubs, eager to swell themselves.

    This reminds me of something:

    "Scientific Peer Pressure" from the Far Side.

    You can have a tattoo laser removed when you wake up and realize that its not for you, but this...

    It just doesn't seem like there is anyway back from those 'crazy club daze', when you and your friends blew your faces up like balloons.

    That guys left eye is forced closed... how is this desirable? I refuse to inflate my face, even if it will make me the coolest club kid on the block.

    I was just getting used to those guys drilling holes in their heads and embedding threaded metal sheaths so they can screw different kinds of spikes and other paraphernalia onto their heads...oh, and those people who are now cutting the last couple of inches of their tongues so that the two halves split in opposite directions like a snake's tongue? Now we get the lumpy skulls. Well, ladies, I guess if you are fortunate enough to find a man with all three, you've found yourself a KEEPER!...

    Eh, it's saline injection - they're basically causing mild, temporary swelling. Unless they tear anything and cause fibrosis/scarring of the underlying connective tissue, the saline would be harmlessly reabsorbed [so long as they were generally healthy].

    This is shorter lasting, possibly safer, and no more unattractive than westerners painting themselves orange for a night out.

    This looks like a giant mosquito bite ... how is this cool?

    Here, Here "couldntfindausername" it sounds like most of you don't know that Saline injections are very temporary. Your body will absorb the salty liquid in a few days.
    The real question is why do this in a club atmosphere. All the clubs I go to are not sterile. The infections they could get would be terrible.

    It looks kind of scary to me.

    Warren Ellis' book "Crooked Little Vein" has a very interesting and HILARIOUS chapter on this concept as a fetish.

    I LOVE Bizarre Magazine!

    they look like they got stuck in front of a bagel gun and took a few rounds in the face.

    Looks like they've shoved a bagel in their head!

    What would happen if you gave those guys a friendly but hard slap on the face? Would it be pretty similar to throwing a water balloon at somebody's head?

    The pictures on that site of the guys getting the saline injections are shocking. This whole thing gives me a serious case of the heebie-jeebies!
