Koz and his Eliphant Thong
Here’s Koz, swinging around wildly in more ways than one, suspending at Steve‘s 30th birthday party (313 Suspension Team, photographs by Jeff C Fetish, Chicago IL).
If you’re wondering what Steve did for his 30th, he wasn’t just sitting back enjoying others putting on a show — also photographed by Jeff, here’s a shot of Steve doing his second four-point wrist suspension. I wonder what the “official” name for a wrist suspension should be. It reminds me of an escape artist act…
Double 1/2″ Labrets
BevelsNbreakdwns‘s pair of finger-sized lip piercings were scalpelled from 0ga by Dave Rodriguez at Braindrops in San Francisco, CA.
He Loves Me!
This is iam:this.cyclical.life‘s let-the-petals-lead-the-way tattoo, done by Martin at Darkside Tattoo in Hamilton, Ontario.
Hooters Double Vision Tattoo
“I can’t believe I really have it either,” writes Massaar, “but at least now I can check ‘Hooters’ off my to-do list…” Tattoo by Mark Hamilton at Stinger Tattoo in Newmarket, Ontario.
Best Tribal, 2007 SLC Tattoo Convention
Jymmi (who has a pretty nice tribal piece himself) snapped this shot of the winning tribal tattoo (a traditional Pe’a) up on stage at the 2007 Salt Lake City Tattoo Convention.
Open Wide
A black sun tattoo for where the sun don’t shine… by Agroaal, Azpeitia, Spain. Click through if you want to see how brave the wearer has been so far in terms of bringing the blackwork closer to full depth.
Serious British Soccer Fan!
My old friend Jerry took this shot at the recent March 2007 Peterlee Tattoo Convention of a guy who takes his football seriously enough to make it a part of his face.
Body Hacking Talk
For those that didn’t see the links on boingboing yesterday, Quinn posted her slides from the talk, and there’s also a video of it that you can watch. The slides are probably old news for anyone that’s been around BME for a while, but the video of the talk is very interesting and while it covers functional modification (Quinn also has magnetic implants), I found her comments on cutting and other things in that realm very insightful.
