Pretty damned impressive

Have some images of some really impressive body modification work...

how is that held on?

It explains that they're held on with piercings - if you flip through the photos, you'll see all the studs in her back to which she attached the metal plates.

All I can think is how painful if someone pulled them hard. Rrrrriiiip!

They are interesting but not my thing, for sure. Wouldn't be very sensible for any fantasy characters who fight, either.

...or being anywhere you have to sweat, or bathing or having a shower, or wearing anything on the back that might catch (not that the wearer would be that interested in keeping their back hidden).

Still, it's not like practicality ever stopped the genuinely wilful.

Even temporarily, some of those would still be concerns.

true, but mostly I think she would not be bathing. Or wearing clothing ;) Sweat is less an issue if they're not staying on.

That, right there, is sexy as fuck!

As soon as I saw it I knew the painting/artist it was inspired from too!
