if you need bits of hardware to facillitate a decent nosh
then i'd say: FAIL

if i was looking to have bits of surgical steel clattered off my little hero (no ive never heard that either i just made it up) i'd flash my dental hygenist - which would probably earn me a quick rap with a dental tool and a firm stare.

all body modification or adornment is attention seeking behaviour

theres no getting away from that. even subtle or hidden stuff - its there to provoke a reaction
