Elizabeth Yates / Emmanuel Lacoste

These rings bring to mind that Steven Wright joke: "I want to get a tattoo of myself on my entire body — only two inches taller." Silicone finger rings by Oregon artist Elizabeth Yates, featuring replicas of her own digits — life-sized, not two inches longer.

Bonus link: also concerned with bodily matters is French artist Emmanuel Lacoste, who made the finger brace rings pictured here. See more from his anatomically-themed collection on his site, ex-carne.
