[QUOTE]Iceland-based fashion designer Sruli Recht had a slice of skin surgically removed from his own belly to make this ring.
After the operation, the 110 by 10 millimetre strip of skin was salted and tanned, then mounted on a 24 carat gold band to create the piece of jewellery, which can be purchased for €350,000.[/QUOTE]

oh god why would you want such a thing
Keep in mind it'll cost 350,000 pounds.
What the actual fuck?
one ring to disgust them all
Wasn't hungry anyway...
It's like a camouflaged cockring.
who would ever want something like that in their whole life [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-barf.gif[/img]
There's this old Danish drunk-singing-song saying a wedding ring is just a hole surrounded by hair.
...Yeah.
why would anyone do/want this
Oh god why?
I think it looks alright actually. Don't get me wrong it's disgusting, but looks sort of cool.
That is quite possibly the stupidest thing anyone has ever paid for.
I watched the video, that cut looks gross as hell, sheesh.
This is not worth 350000 Euros.

Oh, I see. He only uses 'unconventional materials' so he doesn't have to put any real effort into his work.

Lol I 'designed' homeless man rags but it's made out of cool and edgy dead baby sheep
The hair makes it so much more disgusting.
It has hair. It has fucking belly hair.
Disgusting, nobody is going to buy it.
seems like the Great Old Ones are going bohemian
Its horrible eugh, but I guess that's art now. Sometimes I think the world is a very strange place.
Holy shit, Dwarf Fortress has become a reality
I'm just waiting for someone to arrive and start defending it as "art" and "expression"

I think that's really fucking cool.
It's the perfect gift for any horror fanatic.
Or any person into monsters and deformed beings for that sake.
Ed Gein would be proud of this dude.

I may be a pretentious art major, but even I find this shit gross.
There's not even a message behind it.
It's just [i]"lol I can make some gross ass ring, look guys!"[/i]
Just what the fuck, why?
Well for all of those missing it, I'd imagine the point is to highlight the human suffering that goes into the massive jewelry industry by coating a ring in what went into it, rather than the aesthetically pleasing product of the suffering. His intent had to be to make it aesthetically revolting, because there are many ways one can prepare flesh of any kind to be pleasing to the eye. He had it preserved in it's gross detail, as a snapshot of a body on the table in the morgue or after recently being dumped into a shallow grave.
In fact, one could argue that that is the theme behind a lot of his work because it all highlights that we define fashion and beauty unknowingly on the amount of suffering that goes into it.
