Keychains are usually just a form of decoration for your keys, but the following keychains are just, well either gross or weird. Rebel against the norm and compliment your keys with a weird keychain.
Dripping Foreskin Keychain (Etsy)
Only on Etsy! I don’t really need to write much about this keychain, it’s been meticulously designed and created to look ultra realistic. Complete with dripping semen.
Don’t worry although the internet is a very scary place at times this isn’t actually a real foreskin, although I imagine it has been modelled of one.
A very unique keychain to say the least, its unusual and pretty darn gross. The detail of the foreskin keychain is immense. Check it out in all its dripping glory here.
Crochet Vagina (Etsy)
Yup, again only on Etsy, the following unique keychain has been made using crochet and is supposed to be a vagina. I’m not really sure how many vaginas look anything like this but it is what it is and it’s more popular than you would imagine! With a shit load of sales.
The crochet vagina keychain even has what I believe to be a clitoris. Designed with feminists in mind (so i’m going to tread carefully) this wooly vulva is a statement keychain for women who want to show off their vagina and say “hey this is my vagina and i’m proud” without actually showing off their real vagina.
Check out the knitted vagina keychain here on Etsy.
Horror Heads (Etsy)
From the same designer who brought you the weird foreskin keychain on etsy I introduce to you the horror head keychain.
Weird, disgusting and immensely freakish the horror head keyrings are sure to freak out anyone who sees it. In fact just looking at these weird things i’m dreading the nightmares to follow.
Jason Rooney the “artist” behind these keychains has created a whole range of different horror heads and trust me some of them are even more freaky than the image we have shown.
Check out Jasons Etsy Store “That’s Vile” here.
Bloody Heart
Valentines day maybe? Give the love of your life a realistic bloody heart keychain and show them how much you really love them.
Hand made from resin and hand painted the bloody heart keychain is enough to show people your dark side. Often people forget that a heart is not shaped like this <3 but a really heart looks just like this keychain.
Crocs Keychain
Like something from a horror movie we have these miniature croc shoes for your keychain. Made from the same material as the original monstrosities.
Sorry if you wear these regularly then you need to reconsider your life choices. I think I have a phobia of crocs. I just can’t cope it’s making me cringe looking at them. OK for kids they are comfortable and practical, but if you’re an adult and you wear these, I have nothing left to say to you.
Available in a plethora of unnecessary colors the crocs keychains are available to buy in packs so you can ruin lots of peoples lifes and give them all one as a gift.
Severed Finger
If I didn’t know better I’d say it was real! How realistic is this severed finger keychain. You’re going to totally freak people out should you attach this to your keys.
Made from silicone, the etsy seller is a master in prosthetic Halloween and horror props, also available in earrings just in case you find yourself wanting to match.
Eyeball cool keychain
Continuing with the horror theme, what better way to turn your bunch of keys into a complete nightmare than a realistic eyeball keychain to go with your severed finger. You just need a few more bodily parts and people are going to think you actually are a psychopath!
There are many variations of it, some even complete with the actual blood and socket from which it was pulled. Gross.
Cat Poop Keychain
I have no words. It’s a mega realistic looking cat poop that sits on your keyring. It’s even got the shiny texture of cat poop.
I can’t even think of how to begin to describe how weird this is. Cat poop keychain ladies and gentlemen.
If you want one then of course it’s from Etsy.
Bloody Tampon
No you are not seeing things. It’s a bloody tampon keychain. Gross right. Why anyone would have this attached to their keychain I will never know. However it’s rebellious to go against the norm.
You could just buy it as a gift for your girlfriend to show her you are aware of her ever changing moods while it’s that time of the month.
Obviously an Etsy Product. Obviously this keychain is intended for feminists. I apologise if I’ve offended anyone. Please don’t hunt me down.
