Quadruple Nipple Piercing

Posted on April 4, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

…on four nipples, not four in one nipple. Amber Vickers at Standard Ink Tattoo Co in Chattanooga, TN recently did this piercing on a pleased-as-punch looking customer. (See also: triple nipple piercing photos, especially this photo with a nicely developed third nipple).

How dare they besmirch my character!

Posted on April 4, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

The Doctor sends in these photos of people claiming to be forced into depravity by me… but I didn’t do it! They were that way to start with! That said, it’s not like I mind… or don’t encourage it!

Loose Heart Cuttings

Posted on April 4, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

Maggie had these hearts cut for her by (obviously, since it’s signed) Howie (Luna Cobra). When I say “loose” I mean the design’s big loose strokes, which I think will leave a nice organic shape in the end… so you won’t quite know whether it’s an intentional heart scar, or if it’s whipmarks that just happen to have healed that way…

Penectomy Edgeplay

Posted on April 4, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

To me, castration edgeplay and penectomy edgeplay is sort of the same death-wish thrill (at least in appearance) that you see in some of the crazy solo apnea/breathhold videos — it plays on a very, very fine line that if you cross it, your life will never, ever be the same again (but as you can see, there are many healed scars as well as the fresh injuries in the photos). In any case, I guess you could say the same thing about rockclimbing in terms of risky play that people find fulfilling.
