13. I did some research. Here's how they did it.

The diamond is in a setting with two pieces of metal coming out the back. Each piece of metal has a hole in it. They made two small incisions in his forehead, one above the other, then used a needle to connect the two incisions followed by a piece of teflon rod. Once that was in, they threaded the ends of the rod through the holes in the setting.

His major problem is that the weight of this rock could cause his body to reject the piercing, which means it'll push the rod right through his skin.

I have a lot of piercings and that one's way too bizarre for me.
