'''A '''durometer''' is a device for measuring the hardness of a material, as well as the name for the measure of that hardness (aka "Shore A" in the softer ranges). While you can use a durometer to test the relative hardness of metals, in terms of body modification a durometer is usually being used in reference to silicone and other soft materials used for [[Implants|implants]]. The higher the durometer number, the harder the material.

To put it into context, the O-rings on body jewelry are usually about a 60 or 70 durometer — skateboard wheels are usually between 80 and 100. A very soft squeegee would be about a 55 durometer, and a hard one would be about 80. The softest rubbers are usually about a 20 durometer. Implant silicones come in 10 durometer and up.
'''Dennis Keith Rodman''' was a former professional basketball player known to most for his defensive skills and controversial antics on and off the court. He has many [[Tattoos|tattoos]] and [[Piercings|piercings]].


While his exploits may seem foolish, one can't argue that Rodman always brought body modification with him into the world arena of professional basketball.

A durometer is a device for measuring the hardness of a material, as well as the name for the measure of that hardness (aka "Shore A" in the softer ranges). While you can use a durometer to test the relative hardness of metals, in terms of body modification a durometer is usually being used in reference to silicone and other soft materials used for implants. The higher the durometer number, the harder the material.

To put it into context, the O-rings on body jewelry are usually about a 60 or 70 durometer — skateboard wheels are usually between 80 and 100. A very soft squeegee would be about a 55 durometer, and a hard one would be about 80. The softest rubbers are usually about a 20 durometer. Implant silicones come in 10 durometer and up.
