Hey Mum, look at me!

You don't need to get drunk and wake up with metal hanging out of your face to know what you would look like - Cat Head Studios has released Metal Face.
The 69p app allows you to pick your preferred metal enhancements and then hold your mouth up to your iPhone, and voila - you can look like somebody out of Kiss without upsetting your Mum.
6 piercings can be selected, including the slightly more placid ring or something a little more drastic like Snakebites.
If you want to enhance your collection, a little use of Facebook will grant you three extra piercings. We assume sharing just how bad you look with your friends will grant you the extra goods.
Described as 'cooler than Charlie Sheen riding a Lazer Tiger into the '80s, the Metal Face app is definitely sure to raise a smile. Unless of course you already have lots of piercings on your face. Or you are keen to get other regions pierced...
Cat Head Studios is also responsible for Ink: Tattoo Simulator, a similiar app, only it replaces piercings with body ink.
And people say technology hasn't improved lives!
Metal Face is available on the App Store now for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and the iPod Touch in 3rd and 4th generation forms.
