Tetsuo let Howie (who’s starting to add questionable tattooing to the broad repertoire of body art he provides) design and ink this piece for him while at Metalurgey in Dundee, Scotland… He writes, “I got it ’cause it was freeeeeeee!” In any case, I predict this entry will make Giles even angrier.
Andro from Haunted Tattoos and Piercing in London, UK sends in this shot of a brand-new white chin tattoo (among other things, he specializes in whitework) — I guess because of the way the flash has illuminated the surface ink, it’s absolutely glowing!

SavageGypsy in Chicago had this great big star-implying skin removal done by a guy who’s name rhymes with sprayed fun (how many times can I really type his name before I get bored?). I hope she doesn’t mind me including this, but her idiotic (ex)-boyfriend refused to continue seeing her because he thought they were an insult to “people who have endured injuries to get ‘real’ scars” (as if that even makes any sense) — I think she’s better off without him. But still, it makes me sad when couples have problems over body modification (it’s a very common problem) because it shows that the one person never really understood or empathized with the other…
But hey, I know there are a zillion readers/submittors here that are looking for people with voluntary scars!
If BME had a mascot, it should be Pauly! These are his new implants, done about a month and a half ago by Howie (LunaCobra.net).
You decide whether you prefer the split tongue or the SNES controllers… As BME readers, I’m guessing both are enjoyed.
This rapid inflation (liquid infusions take hours, whereas gas infusions take minutes) — under full pressure in these pictures — was done using nitrous oxide gas the day after a two liter saline infusion got everything all stretched out. This is of course temporary play, and for those into it, obviously feels great (loads more in BME/HARD).
This giant black chest bar (which I would have loved to tag aggressively) belongs to Marcell, who was tattooed by Jerson Filho at Jerson Tattoo Studio in Brasília, Brazil… I don’t know if anyone remembers, but about ten years ago there were photos in the tattoo magazines of a pretty Asian girl that had a similar tattoo across her forehead, almost like cartoon Groucho Marx eyebrows — anyone that might have a photo of that one, please post a picture of it and link it from the comment forum (and if you know why, please tell me)!
