SnyderShrugged Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 http://armedrobbery.wordpress.com/2012/09/27/you-want-cream-cheese-with-that/ I’ve always had great respect for the Japanese culture. That’s why I’m surprised to learn of this trend from the land of the rising sun: Bagelheads. No, it’s not a word used to describe someone who really likes bagels. Bagelhead is a fashion trend that involves injecting saline into the forehead in order to cause swelling. The swollen area is then manipulated in order to make it bagel-shaped. I kid you not. If this trend catches on here, I bet we’ll have drunken guys cruising bars looking for bagelhead girls, asking them if they want a schmear. More and a nice clear pic at link.

Botched Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Wow that is bizarre. In fact, on the list of weirdest things to come out of Japan, I'd say this easily ranks in the top 5,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikbug Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'll say this, in all the time I've spent living in Tokyo, I never saw this once, so I don't think it's that popular. However, there is a big goth scene there which I believe this "fad" is a part of. Still funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/26/bagel-head-forehead-injections-japan-saline_n_1916188.html "Botox is more ubiquitous than yoga pants in Hollywood. But women (and men) in Asia have been taking part in a different injection "trend" for years: saline bagel-shaped injections on one's forehead. "National Geographic Taboo" chronicles the bizarre beauty treatment in an upcoming episode set in Tokyo, following three people who opt into the temporary forehead injections which have become a keen part of the Japanese "body modification" art scene. Here's how it goes down: technicians insert a needle into the forehead and inject about 400 cc of saline to create a forehead-sized blob. (One bagel-ee describes is as feeling like "something's dripping down [his] head" and a "slight stinging sensation.") The practitioner then places his or her thumb into the blob to create the indentation. For those of us who don't see the appeal in any sort of forehead needles, you can't help but wonder: why in the world would you want a bagel on in your head? A Japanese artist named Keroppy who pioneered the "modcon" body art explained to Vice back in 2009 that it's about innovation: "People who like extreme body modification want to find their own way of doing things, and they’re always looking for new ways to do that. The more progressive the scene gets, the more these people have to experiment and go their own way." Luckily, the bagel-shaped injections aren't permanent; the round protusion fades after about sixteen hours as your body absorbs the saline." Oh Japan, what the hell would we do without you? Ok fess up. Who wants a Bagel Head now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
