The Achilles Piercing
Thursday, February 14, 2008

The Achilles Piercing is a piercing which passes between the achilles tendon and the ankle. It is a very rare piercing, and not everyone's anatomy is suited for it. Above you can see an example, Mr. Tetanus' pierce. He is a performance artist who has been wearing a self-made 10cm spike through his ankle, behind the Achilles tendon, for abbout 12 years. Read more about Dr. Tetanus on ModBlog

Piercing Fans International Quarterly magazine has documented the case of a man who had a stretched Achilles piercing that he used to suspend from. As seen in the picture below:

yeah i am getting my Achilles done in a couple of months it is going to be righteous. But i will definitely not go as big as he did, the smallest one possible would be best

That's got to hurt like shit Ö
but rlly; i like it :']

"you can put your weed in there" lol

that is rough
Wow, im surprised they are still able to walk. That must hurt.
OMG
thats insane, but if its what the guy wants..it no worse than strecthing ur ears till they look like shoe string...so props fella...
What the fuck?
why would any one want to do that?
How do u wear shoes or pants? wtf
I don't get it...
To me that's not a piercing, that's a handicap!
obviously mental and physicly.
Omg get a life and have some respect for u'r body!
Some people have those things after serious injuries and can't life the same as they used to.. Why do you do such something to urself?
I hope it hurts really bad! u're sick..
live*
i like piercings and i have some...but that is just FUCKING SICK...i bet that hole smells like shit
OMG I'm will pierce my belly in a week and I can't wait,I think it's pretty!
But this is sick!And it's ugly, the people who are doing this need help!
wwwwwoooooohh :O :O maaaaan!"!!!! it's sooo discausting...just look hole in the leg....realy scary...I don't have a word for that..well let say "piercing"...that man/woman was very sick and crazy when they do it!!!...
I don't know how she or he can do something like this...it was realy painful reeeaalyyyy!!!
oh no O.O that's cruel.. the picture with that hanging foot looks like a scene from the movie 'hostel'. but if you like it, it's ok at all. i would never do it, but seriously, i respect you for doing that ^^
lol. I love seeing peoples reactions to this type of thing. I mean look this is not a "piercing" really...you can't just walk into your local tattoo/piercing studio and expect to have anyone even consider doing this for you. It's a body mod. that's more than likely extremely dangerous and difficult to heal properly. Infection...yeah...you wouldn't really be able to wear socks or shoes that get anywhere near it for months...flipflops anyone?
But yeah all those "normal" piercings that we have today actually have been around for thousands of years and mostly started as tribal rituals or rites...and most were stretched more than we are used to seeing...and not just the ears! You don't have to like it,but if you're going to get pierced...respect ALL piercings, please! Remember, it's body ART! Some people just like pain more than others...
Dude your crazy but fucking awesome all at the same time. Mad respect to you man. If you could send me an Email to let me know if it was worth doing and If you recommend it. I'm always looking for some radical shit to do to myself. The email is: [email protected]
i think that the only spot in your body that is cool to be streched is your EAR..........everything elese is discausting
oh my god that looks so painful. GO YOU FOR BEING ORIGINAL. its not for me, but i think its sooo cool!
"you can put your weed in there" LMAOO!! -Hotchicks
haha, &obviously it's a hairy ass female leg :] jk! wtf xD
neways... that's disturbingly hardcore.
Dude..this shit is grosss...but cool i guess.idk
strange
ohh my god grosse
OMFG
look i love piercing of pretty much every type, i currently have 7 in the ears, my hips, nval, and web pierced. but this is just.. horrid. it looks so painful. i mean i know you started out small then moved up but some things just shouldnt be pierced.
what the fuck is with everyone saying that they're so fucking origional for stretching their goddamn ears. You know people think thats gross too, but the only reason you all do it is because everyone else says its okay or "origional" what a load of shit. Granted this piercign is a little bizare, but no one is making you do that, him having a whole in his leg is not hurting you. An im sure if all your gay ass little frineds ran out and pierced their ankles that you would do it too!
MA STIAMO SCHERZANDO??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ORMAI NON SI TRATTA PIU' DI PIERCING MA DI UN QUALCOSA DI ORRIDO E DISGUSTOSO!!!
LA PAZZIA E' ARRIVATA ANCHE A QUESTI LIVELLI......POVERI NOI..............

Wow! It looks gross but.. I cant stop lookinh at it. The meat in his leg looks so gross..u can like see the meat in his leg! >.<
Nobody can judge that, (sorry for my english cause I'm from belgium) I think if this man like this piercing why not, it's original and amazing!! It's body art, if a little bit of people like that please shall you don't critic their choices!! I don't like this piercing in particular but I respect other comment.
thats fucking sick
He must be a very performer cos i cant imagine many people wanting to see that it's fucking sick
meh. not impressed. show me a streched dick peircing. then i'll be impressed. also i like how the guy who said this ...
"I thought that that only happened a thousend years ago, when people did not have brains yet...?
oh I forgot! there are still people with no brain -_-*"....
you my friend are pretty thick really arn't you.
i agree with you, it's awful.......How did he do it^^^^
what the flip are white people thinking...
woah, this guy is fucken retarded and this is compeltly disgusting, whoever would do somthing like this to themselves needs help, BIG time.
That's pretty nasty. Why would anyone get a piercing like that???
sick
the 15 year old is right: this person IS mentally disturbed, good for you and your clear thinking.
By the way: this is no more a mutilation than the other piercings. In the eye of an psichiatrist is the same thing. The size, position and number of piercings gives only the scale of the problem. Anyway, it's better to communicate to others that it's not all fine with you than trough violence or stuff like that. GO MAKE A PIERCING TODAY! :)
YUCK. I'm sorry, but that's sick.
Crap, that must have hurt. You are stupid, weird, crazy, and how do you wear pants in the winter dude? Did you do that just to get attention or because you just wanted it? Do you have any more leg-rings, or just this spike one?
EWW, what kind of attention was he trying to get? im not impressed and taking by the comments nor is anyone else get a brain! Not only is this retarded but its also completely disgusting!
its is obv that people like this are fucked in the head, i would've loved to known what he was thinking to even want to get this done!?
does he even have friends? did they not try to stop him? or maybe they're just as fucked in the head as this fucking mentally disturbed person.
dickhead, it is clear he does not have a brain.
frankly, it sickens me.
this is by far the worse type of fucking idiot piercing a person could get.
one question, why?
you fucking dickhead.
Ohhh intense!
It makes me hurt just to look at it.
And, you could never wear boots...
OH MY GOOD
OMG....that piercing cause infections
OMG......THAT HAD 2 HURT....THEY NEED 2 HEAL THAT!!! ASAP
this isn't a piercing this is a dickhead...como on it is ridicoluos...ok you have that hole...and now?? i must be fuck ur mom
this makes me cringe... sorry.. it just does
personally, I think that this is amazing.
sure, it may have some medical dangers, but it's what he wanted to do. piercings are a way of self-expression, so if this is who he wants to be, I respect him for that.
there is no "normal" in this world, we all like the things we like for our own reasons.
so cudos, man. you're my idol :)
who gives a f*** what other people say.
good job :D
This gives me the chills imagining having this!
I agree its kinda out there..
But I give him props for doing this!!
well i dont think this is "body art". i dont think he will can walk at all in few years.the guy having problem in brain (if he has a brain. And wtf are you people talkin bout? yall givin him and PROPS and shit? yay think of that if yall were (atleast) adults if your kid asks if it can have a piercing like that?!!
PS: i know that none of you knows why this piercing called achilles ;/
GET A LIFE YOU STUPID FCKING EMO RETARDS

I agree on this Blog! 100 percent true. thanks to this blog. its cool because i found the right solution!
Damn dude. How does someone even do this type of piercing? Surgery? Fuck man. Ouch. This guy has balls.
This is where religion/stories and legends brought us lol It's horrible and it's painful what she can do >.> seriously ..how can u try do et?!
this is amazing
GODDAM That Looks Nasty Sick :p
Through a fucking meat hook. We have a winner and that shit is wild.
It never ceases to amaze me just how narrow minded and judgemental people can be... And that you'll drag in a bunch of unrelated value judgements about what you THINK "MUST" be true about this guy.
i.e. That he must have mental problems, or have no friends... I know I wouldn't be interested in having a bunch of judgemental bigots like yourselves as friends.
It's his body, not yours, and not any of his friends to dictate how and what he does to it!
Add to that, he's one of the most unique, considerate, wonderful people that I have ever had the honour to call a friend... He may be a little weird, but that just makes us love him more... :)
I actually had one of those piercings for a while. You'd be surprised how soon you gain full mobility. Although mine was only a 10g... I had to take it out for a job, but I plan on getting it redone. Doesn't hurt a lot and I love how it looks.
