Lady Gaga may have shocked the world recently when she appeared in public with what looked like horns sticking out of her face and shoulders, but she's actually just horning in on an existing -- and, so far, very underground -- trend.
Gaga recently appeared in Harper's Bazaar magazine looking as if she had horns sticking out of her face. Although she said the so-called horns were her real bones, and she had merely been waiting for the right time to reveal to the universe who she truly is, some experts are skeptical.
New York plastic surgeon Dr. Barry M. Weintraub has analyzed pictures of the singer and believes her new protuberances are not surgically implanted.
They are more likely skin-colored shapes, such as triangles, that have been applied externally, Weintraub said. It's either sophisticated makeup or an externally fastened prosthesis.
But while Gaga's look may be the result of external makeup, there is a tiny part of humanity that prefers to get horns the old-fashioned -- and painful -- way.
That is, of course, having them embedded in the skull.
Take Maria Jose Cristerna, a 35-year-old former attorney turned tattoo artist who lives in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Twenty-one years ago, Cristerna -- who now is known as Vampire Woman -- started doing body modification in the form of pierced ears and small tattoos.
In recent years, she's taken it to an extreme, getting her body inked up and having titanium horns embedded in her skull. Her rationale is that the human body changes anyway, so why not have a choice in how it looks.
