I regularly pierce clients who have inverted or slightly inverted nipples. Although it’s way more common than they’d think, most of them feel very self conscious about them and what they don’t realize is that in most cases, inverted nipples may be “corrected” by piercing.
This is a photo log of a client of mine who had severely inverted nipples and wanted to have them pierced in hopes of correcting them. She agreed to help me keep track of the healing progress by coming back once a week for updated photos.
To see the entire process, keep on reading.
Her nipples were so tightly inverted they couldn’t even be coaxed out for marking and I certainly had to get creative for the actual piercing procedure and placement.
The initial piercings went smoothly and the weeks following the client came in for weekly follow-ups with no issues. After six weeks with no incident, we decided that this was definitely a successful correction. I’m glad to have helped her out to take away her self-consciousness in regards to her nipples! LOVE thy nipples.
A tattoo studio owner in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who’s studio was ordered closed by local health board in 2009 has now made industry history after pleading guilty to about a dozen charges including one count of obstruction, eight counts of failing to maintain records, and one nuisance count.
Zipp’s Tattoo and Museum was shut down by Alberta Health Services last year after undercover inspectors responded to complaints of tattoo services being offered in deplorable conditions. Inspectors found filthy, dusty surfaces, used needles and tattoo tubes and inappropriate, outdated sterilization equipment. Since there was no documentation of client files and sterilization records, a public notice was issued for anyone who was tattooed at Zipp’s to be tested for pathogens.
Provincial Court Judge Ferne LeReverend told Zipp’s owner, Eric Anderson, that his disregard for the health of his clients “shocking” and slapped him with fines totaling $12,880. This was the first successful prosecution under the Alberta Personal Services Regulation.
David Vidra, Body Modification industry Educator and CEO of Health Educators Inc applauds Alberta Health Services and commends Alberta’s health inspectors for their close involvement in Alberta’s local industry.
“It’s a shame it had to come to a lawsuit like this,” says Vidra in response to charges, “Education is available to artists. This does not only affect the artist who was charged but every artist in our industry and the public.”
Health Educators offers relevant education for body modification artists across the board and encourages studios and artists to keep up to date on industry standards. Health Educators is one of the only body modification industry specific companies offering education to artists and full studio evaluation and setup on a global level. Vidra urges artists and studio owners to educate themselves constantly so the body art industry can continue to be viewed by the public in a positive light.
Let’s hope this message strikes a cord to basement scratchers and professional artists alike that lack of education and safe studio set up are vital to keeping the body art industry a legitimate trade and that those negligent few will be made an example of.
Clients seeking safe body art should be supporting artists who have taken the time to know how to use the required equipment and aseptic techniques to run a safe studio.
Some of us express ourselves through body adornment and modification, others paint and sculpt. Our friends anthonydoom and amnesiac share their appreciation for all things BME with rhymes…
Lyrics after the break!
Aai aai aai
I am your butterfly, I need your protection
Be my samurai
Aai aai aai
I am your butterfly
I need your protection, need your protection
iam, yo
Live life on a modified plan
I comment when I’m in the zone
one person
one mod
on the site
Gimme the time
Yo, Rachel, go
No fuckin’ around cutting down all dicks in my path
Trying to fuck up my game with intact glans and normal shafts
Hear that my dicks got bicetstyle
Wild, out of control
IAM’s got Shawn Porter’s sick style
With erotic mods for normal jobs
Great jewelry for, all
Till I hit ASTM with the CBR
Straight famine or feast
When you’re living on the implant grade
Stay sharp, sharp
Rolling with the BME high-spiritual
never seen mods so fresh, uh!
When we suspend high
our flows flex
Yo we optimistic
Not fuckin’ depressed
We not like the rest
My style is BME
Totally unknown
You can’t fuck with the world tour flow
Its hard to miss
“You can’t mod this”
Yeah, fuckin’ who said so?
We do what we like
Too hot to handle
Too cold to hold
You can’t fuck with the modified one
We want to scar you, uh
Aai aai aai
I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Be my samurai
Aai aai aai
I am your butterfly
I need your protection, need your protection
Rachel is way cool
But don’t fuck with her game boy
Or She’ll TOS you
Skin is tough
When needles get stuck its time to
push through
Till I break-break-break on through to the other side
Check the bucket tons with patience like a stalker
BME has hardcore
People cut so deep, feel no pain
It’s not sore
Don’t ask for heavy or you’ll get what you ask for
I’m like a wild animal in the corner
Waiting for the break of dawn
Trying to get through the night
Just a man with the will to modify
My blades swing free
Create a subincision with amazing ease
This is not a game boy
Don’t play with me
I work my scalpel
Like a wild fuckin’ savage from the tribal side: danger!
Meg has a plan
Packaging orders
BMEshop is big in Japan
I seen the silicone
and got implants in my hand
BMEshop, Needles and a plan
Deep piercing, scar making fucking decker
Aai aai aai
I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Be my samurai
Aai aai aai
I am your butterfly
I need your protection, need your protection
Fuck,
This is like,
The coolest song I ever heard in my whole life
Fuck all of you who said I wouldn’t make Modblog
They said I was a loser
They said I was a no-one
They said I was a fuckin’ psycho
But look at me now
All up on the interweb
World-wide, 2010

We’re looking forward to seeing BME’s most intriguing boys! Let’s see ya, fellas!
I love when people get ridiculous tattoos that make everyone ask “What the hell are you gonna do when you’re 80!?”
This is no exception. I’d like to ask Matthew just what would possess him to tattoo hipster glasses on his face but really… who cares? It’s hilarious and it’s not my face!
We figured it best to keep up with the BME Girls feature and broaden the horizon for a BME Boys one as well!
Hi Modbloggers, this is my first post as a ModBlog contributer and I gotta say, the gig’s good so far!
I’m clearly blessed to be handling the admin side of sifting through pictures of BME’s finest gentlemen and to kick off the event and warm us up, I’ve wrangled an unseen shot out of my studio’s apprentice (That’s what they’re for, right?) here’s Bobby from Edmonton, Canada (Who’s been featured in this set before.)
The guidelines and rules will be the same as they are for ladies’ feature:
