Here’s some very nice geometric cutting work by Ona and Paks at Por Vida in Madrid, Spain.
Pulling as a part of growing up
I got this nice email from Havve from Pain Solution;
Hi guys!
My oldest son, Kai, who’s turning 15 in three months, did his first pulling yesterday. His been eager to do a suspension for about a year, after some consideration I decided to let him try a pulling. He proved to be brave and made both me and his mom proud!

Wrist Piercing
“Rhino Piercings”
On the left is a rhino (vertical nose piercing) done by Daryl Nicholson at New Tribe in Toronto using a 14ga 7/16″ barbell (the 16ga high nostrils and the 14ga medusa are also his work). On the right is Netira’s DIY vertical nose piercing (she works at Iron Cross Tattoos in San Antonio, Texas).
Webbed Toe Cutting
The story behind this play is actually quite fascinating — the person in the picture was born with webbed toes on their right foot. As a teenager they wanted to normalize this, so using a razor blade they started cutting the web slowly with a razor blade, using pressure to notch in the web. Bleeding was relative minor. In any case, they discovered that they enjoyed this activity and found it exciting, and started doing it recreationally as well with other, unwebbed, toes, and are considering an amputation.
Anyway, I always find it very interesting to find out what the catalyst is that causes people to stumble upon, and then discover that they enjoy, heavy play and modification.
Snake Anklet Tattoo
This was done by John Wayne at Beesting Tattoo in Belle River, Ontario (right next to Detroit/Windsor).
Ducky’s Triangle
Left nostril done at Buddha’s (Erie, PA), with the rest done at Cutter’s Edge in Washington, PA.
