Ya so there’s a whole culture of people who farm themselves for Human Ivory.  Want to take a wild guess as to what Human Ivory is?  Here are some hints:

Human Ivory Earrings

Human Ivory Necklace

Human Ivory Plugs

Human Ivory Plugs Up Close

Have you guessed yet?  These plugs and the jewelry before that were all made from Human Ivory, which is defined as:

Human Ivory became my medium upon my visiting Gunther van Hangens’ Body Worlds exhibit. This was when I realized that fingernails and toenails are part of our skeletal structure and are directly connected to the distal phalanges (fingertip bones) in our hands. Amazingly, they pierce through our skin and reside on the outside of our bodies.” -Rachel Case, 2008

Maybe my standards have lowered since we started this site, but they sure aren’t as gag-worthy as these bad-boys.
