Alicia in Melbourne, Australia had this unique piercing done by Sallyann at Hair House Warehouse in Broadmeadows — it’s a horizontal under-the-tongue surface piercing (aka a “lingum piercing“, one of the rarest variations on unusual tongue work). Before you say “oh, that’s going to reject,” I’ll mention that it’s about ten months old in this photo.
“My boyfriend and I love Jagermeister, but he’s taken it to another level,” she writes. Tattoo by Pin at Ink Link Tattoos in Charlotte, NC.
I spend too much time in the company of four year olds, because the first thing I thought when I looked at this picture was “chooo choooo!”.

Wings tattoo by Sharlão in Guarulhos, Sao Paulo. See also this long wings tattoo and another big set of tattooed wings.
As part of “BME week” (or whatever) that surrounds BMEfest at the end of June and start of July are a variety of events, including the Suspension School organized by Philip Barbosa (visit his IAM page for more detailse). The instructors are some of the best — the course is lead by Allen Falkner (suspension.org/TSD) and with backup from Emrys Yetz, Jill Allen, Jon Pett and Jason Shaw.
Anyway, people quite liked the event shirt that Phil designed, so we’ve put it up in BMEshop as a fundraiser as well. You can click through to get it… And the portrait of Robert Carlyle from Trainspotting was done by John Tilt of Body Art Studios in Stafford, UK.

This Saturday James is taking part in the Buffalo Tour de Cure to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.
It’s also his first century ride. Last year, he managed 65 miles (a metric century) and raised over $1000; this year he’s set his sights on 105 miles and $2000. There’s already $1,820 in the coffers, and it would be great if some of you lovely people could help give him an extra push towards his goal.
His fundraising page can be found here, good luck James, and well done!

This explosive video is being passed around the internet like roasting coals at the moment, and I like to strike whilst the iron’s hot so here’s a quick follow-up with this awesome photo taken mid-burn by Stewy (and click through for a second shot taken two days later).
If you want to be at least Cool Ice-level cool, you need to hook up with Brian of Pure Body Arts for some cutting… I love these sunglasses he recently did! Anyway, he’s up in Toronto for BMEfest/ModProm, so drop him a line if your paths may cross here and you’d like to take advantage of the opportunity for some top-notch scarification (or heavier mods as well).
