I think that’s a Sprung or mandible piercing (boy, that encyclopedia entry needs to be updated — it’s a wiki, so feel free!) on this customer of Nickk Leading (Perforations, Denver CO), done using a three or four inch piece of tygon. Intense piercing!

Batwing Eyebrows
Mattay, if you’re reading this, please upload a video of how these eyebrow batwing tattoos move with different facial expressions to YouTube and post a link… They look great and I’d love to see them “in person”.
Gold and Antlers
3/4″ lobes, a monroe, a septum you can’t see, and an awesome set of antlers as a chestpiece… I really like the way the tattoo comes up and wraps like a collar; it’s very pretty.
“Fun with needles and spears”
Thanks to CJ and Dana at HTC in Tempe, AZ:
Ouch, my toes!
Some people have told me this really wouldn’t hurt very much to do and might be kind of fun if you’re in the right mood. I beg to differ. Seriously, I think if I had the choice of nailing my toe to a board or nailing my nutsack to a board, I’m going with nutsack every time… For no good reason toe skewering really freaks me out!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! I love this!
Jonathanpiercing just sent in my favorite tattoo in a while, his body modification themed sleeve (love the gnarly split tongue and amputations!), in progress by Jee Sayalero at Freak Family in Illescas, Toledo (Spain). He’s a great artist (back in November I posted a tattoo pinup girl he tattooed) that does the convention circuit as far as I know, if you’re interested in work.
Get that girl a sammich
Geez, your ribs are showing! Oh wait, those are just bead implants (approaching two years old in these photos) done by Shawn O’Hare at Fillmore Tattoo and Piercing in Ventura County, CA. Sammich eating demand hereby withdrawn. I don’t know if these would be comfortable, but I do like the way they look… they’re like grips or something.
“They’re suspension scars, not backne!!”
Emily in Binghamton (tattoo done at Hand of Doom in Buffalo, NY) dropped me a line that she’s looking to get involved with or help start a suspension team in her area (everybody can do with a few paired dot scars to confuse the mundanes). I know it’s been in the news lately, but let me again remind you that for suspension things like this, as well as real-life stuff and BME’s resources, a great place to go is suspension.org.
