I mean to be fair I feel like various body modifications have always existed and probably will always exist. At most this will probably just look dated once everyone moves onto wanting spiky foreheads or something instead of bigger boobs
More like people in the future can order any boob size they want made from their own cells for the price of a happy meal. Nobody will know if they are body mods since the lab grown boobs are indistinguishable from body grown boobs since they are made from human tissue. It will become ubiquitous. People will just change boobs sizes on a whim, since the surgery will take less than a day. Going on an ultra run? get the flat chest package the day before. Your partner has a big boob fetish? get the huge mammaries package for their birthday. Even men might get a boob job for a day because they want to go in drag on halloween.
The real scary thing about those rings is that they can't actually be taken off. Wear them long enough, and the neck muscles atrophy to the point where you're incapable of holding up your own head. Take the rings off and your head flops over like a wet noodle.
It's one of those status things. They don't have to take the rings off because they're wealthy. Fair skin or white cloths meant you didn't do manual manual outside. Nowadays, tan skin means you have enough downtime to either go to the beach or tanning salon.
It must suck to have an itch there and you can't scratch it
That's what the long nails are for.
Lol, I doubt we'll let go of big boobs anytime soon.
Funnier is that the implants might shift/fall and archaeologists will think people enhanced their shoulders and the back of their necks.
Then, there will be a subculture that does shoulder and neck enhancements.
as to them always having existed, we have old skeletons with stuff like this done to them, Im not sure some implants found with a body would be much stranger.
My goodness! Just looking at these images makes me feel a headache coming on.
wen mantis blades/cyberpunk stuff?
We have to wait for the government to finish shitting the bed, then the corpos can take over and sell whatever bullshit the CEOs think it's rad.
Body mods will go the way of the dinosaur. It'll all be digital avatars or things like the "surrogates" movie.
Surrogates was a terrible movie.
I sure had a lot of fun watching it though ๐
Wasn't that bad! I could definitely see humanity getting to that point.
It was pretty bad and all the problems were changes from the comic. The comic had the timetable for everything much more believable and went into the benefits of surrogates.
I'll have to check them out! Didn't even know they came from comics!
