Yes, circle jerks three-ways really are that fun.

Full-side Bird Scarification
Yesterday I showed a great full body scarification project, and today I wanted to share with you another very impressive large scale scarification. This cutting and skin removal was done at this year’s Scar Wars event in Los Angeles on IAM:HoleyHell187 by Wayde Dunn and Ryan Ouellete.
It is of course still healing in this photo!
Escher Tattoo
I think what I like most about this Escher tattoo (by Holdie at 954 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) is the choice of colors — seeing a tattoo with red and black is of course not that uncommon, but I don’t think I see flat areas of matte gray very often… It’s neat because at least for me, when I see color choices that are different from what I’ve been conditioned are “tattoo colors”, it really changes the way I perceive the piece I think.
Is that a threat?
Normally “wish you were here” tattoos are of the friendly, reminiscing sort… but stick that slogan on a couple coffins and I have to wonder whether it’s quite so friendly after all?

Do I really want to know if anyone scored a bullseye?
OK, yes, I want to know.

Best Scarification Bodysuit in the World?
Personally I think that Whitespace currently wears the single best scarification bodysuit in the world. I don’t think there’s a nicer piece that’s at the scale of his work. What you see in this photo is all by the monstrously talented Dave Gillstrap (visit the Dave Gillstrap scarification photo gallery on BME).
M&M Themed Tattoo
I don’t really know what profound, life changing event involving M&M candy happened to Zenus‘s wife to inspire this tattoo — and I say that as someone who has been on the M&M experience ride in Las Vegas. Ink by Dr. Roach at Flesh Chamber.
Aww, screw you all!
For those of you who don’t like me posting so many pin-ups, boo to you! I have no intention of stopping, as long as I still have the help of Kitty and all my other online friends.
Poor industrial placement
Alienboy, who sends this photo, emphasizes that this terrible industrial placement was not done by him! The bar was put in, somewhere in Queensland Australia, in a manner that put gentle pressure on the ear because a straight bar was forced over the convex outer conch. In time it started to erode the skin and sink into the cartilage — so, as is too often the fate of the quality piercer, the money goes to the scratcher and the victim ends up asking the unpaid quality piercer for help.
