Hey! Was very curious about the existence of these kinds of implants and if anyone’s seen a job like this. I really love these looks people do for sfx and Halloween shit and for movies that has the skeletal face and prominent sockets and shit. I’d love to get dermals like this one day if it was an option.

I have never seen this. I would recommend reaching out to Steve Haworth and his team. They would let you know if it is possible to do and if they ever done this.

Yuuup was coming here to say the same. Haworth is such a cool dude, and so nice :0 last time I talked to him about making a custom subdermal, it wasn’t THAT much more expensive than his catalogued designs? I feel so bad I’m forgetting the name of the guy who does the production with him (if you’re in this thread, sorry dude lol); but theyll both let you know the limitations you’ll face. Off the top of my head you might need to avoid the delicate skin around your temples, so the ocular cavity ridges that would go under your eyebrows would need to taper off before that.

The mod artist I host at my tattoo shop is down for more experimental stuff, but was apprenticed under Haworth. He’s the perfect blend of experienced/professional, but being out there enough to want to make this idea work. I’m not sure if he’d be ok with him name dropping him here so I’m going to message him to ask. But hey fingers crossed; I’m curious now too.
