Striking Hero-Mimicked Piercings

This Fan Tries to Mimic Wolverine via Extreme Body Modification

One really dedicated fan strives to mimic the Wolverine character from the Marvel comics through extreme body modification. Unfortunately for the fan, these piercings would only hinder, rather than help in battle.

The piercings weave through each forearm and then also weave into the back of each hand. It specifically imitates Wolverine from the alternate Marvel Universe comic called Weapon X. The imagery might be considered slightly disturbing, but it is the ultimate tribute to the series. I’m sure Wolverine would be proud.

Kids, please don't try this extreme body modification at home. At least wait a few years until scientists are able to forge Adamantium to a human's skeletal structure like it was done with Wolverine.
