That... is truly atrocious. I agree with Nex, it isn't "hardcore", it's just revolting. I had an 8cm fleshie in my right earlobe and that hurt like hell... I couldn't imagine how painful it would have been to have all that done.

Although, I heard somewhere that to have that incredibly larger size put in, you have to get your piercing burned out...? Either way, ouch.

Lol Matt... Picasso would be rolling in his grave...
