History
The kinds of subdermal implants that are being done today are a fairly recent innovation. It is generally agreed upon the fact that they were pioneered as they are today by Steve Haworth. In his shop, HTC Body Piercing in Phoenix, AZ he first began these procedures after being asked for a bracelet. He concluded that he could put a row of beads under the woman’s wrist to create the effect she desired. Since then, many different artists have done many different kinds of implants. Some of the well known names in the industry are Steve Haworth, Emilio Gonzales, and Stelarc who recently had a cell-cultivated ear implanted on his arm.
