Piercing has gone way too mainstream

Posted on May 31, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

I mean, even oranges are getting their navels pierced these days. I’m pretty sure that this orange isn’t 18 yet, so now I know where to get pierced in Edmonton if I’m underage — by Aaron Brink at Eye of the Lotus. Well, at least if I’m an underage orange… I doubt it applies to humans.

These are photos from PiercedSmurf‘s suspension wedding (more pictures on his IAM page) on April 20, 2007 in New Orleans. I just love how happy everyone looks (including the person officiating the wedding!).

Scarification Kyoto Style

Posted on May 30, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

Quite a few of the scarification superstars (scars on ModBlog, scars on BME) have done Japanese tours, but there’s quite a bit of local talent as well. For example, these very clean cuttings were all cut by Bin in Kyoto, Japan at Body Piercing Studio Scamp.

Grrrr!

Posted on May 30, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

Big nostrils, big labret, big lobes, and a forehead Star of David, but remember — if you don’t brush your teeth often enough, they’ll be permanently stained yellow! So don’t skip the top row or you’ll end up with golden teeth too. Seriously though, I think if I ever do any tooth mods myself, I’m getting warthog teeth. That’s what I really want — big lower jaw tusks like a troll or something.

PS. I’m not kidding.
