Oh… that sucks… Erin-Louise got a MRSA-type staph infection in her healing tattoo, an increasingly common infection both in tattoos and injuries in general.

Beautiful Spanish Suspension
Seriously, all these gorgeous suspensions are making me so jealous as I’m stuck in the city… This is Manny suspending with Capo and Carol in Rellinars, Spain — click for another portrait of him in hooks.

Dan DiMattia Rocks
Not only is he an amazing tattoo artist, but he’s loads of fun to wrestle (so I hear). If I make it to Belgium again (last time I was there I was in bad shape and a bit of a druggie), I’m going to try and do both. I’m a big fan of both him and his muse (who you know best from Needled.com).
This great chest-piece is by him, but you can click the picture and see a full-face tattoo he did as well.
Another unusual female genital piercing
You may remember that a while back I posted a cervical piercing (on which you should definitely read the follow-up interview, so let me add this unusual genital piercing that’s resultant from a split Princess Albertina. Erika decided to take the two flaps that were left from the split (sort of a mini “female subincision” I suppose!) and pierce them each with a barbell.
Yurah Kalmikov at Planeta Tattoo in Kiev, Ukraine did the piercing and everything is healing nicely. To the best of my knowledge, and theirs as well, this is the first piercing of this type… So far they’re just calling it “Erika’s Fantasy”, and unless anyone else steps forward, they have naming rights!
Sternum Tug of War: “Tit Lift”
I’m pretty sure that this face — captured at Swingshift Sideshow‘s House of Fun and Blood — says, “I am so drunk… WTF is going on and who are these weirdos?”
