I'd never heard the term "human ivory" before, and I'm gonna be honest, I'm kind of wishing I still hadn't. In case you couldn't tell from the picture, it's human finger and toenail clippings. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go puke, wash my face and get myself together again, and then puke some more. Kidding, I think this is great. I even bite off and chew my own nails sometimes. "Uh, GW -- have you ever used a microscope to actually see what's under your fingernails before?" Yes -- dead penis cells.

Hit the jump for a couple more examples and a link to Rachel's (the maker's) Etsy store.

Apparently, to some long distance runners, losing toenails is a bragging factor. So much so that some make necklaces out of their lost toenails. Bleaugh.

I guess it's better than what I thought from the title: that people were whittling human teeth down into little figurines and such.

um...ok, I have never seen so much belly button lint. I thought it was just a teeny tiny bit of dead skin...
