Bignutt?
Rachel’s piercings were done by Chris “Bignutt” Jerbasi (should I ask how he got that nickname?) at Al Tattoo in Franklinville, NJ. I’m sorry, she’s very pretty and all, but now all I can think about is the legend of Bignutt. I don’t know if he’s a bulk baby juice factory or if he’s got a hydrocele or what… but Bignutt.
I am so immature.
Bass Tattoo
As in the fish, not the guitar. This tattoo was done by Carlos Montes at Fresno Tattoo in (you guessed it) Fresno, CA. Speaking of fishing, check out IAM member Adam Guy‘s article on fugu (as in the killer poison sushi in The Simpsons).
Stunning Foot Tattoos
On Steve Truitt, left foot by Mike Giant and right foot by Tim Kern.

Floral Foot and Leg Sleeve
Wow, that’s really nice — I especially like the carved wood girl at the top left. Doll‘s “little bit of paradise” was done by Bryan Turnbull at TCB Tattoo Parlour here in Toronto, Canada.
Arm Nipple Piercing
Earlier this year I posted a photo of an unusual piercing (a nub on the end of an incomplete arm) that I really liked. I had meant to post an “in context” photo much sooner, but better late than never. I’ll say again that I’m always really happy when people have fun and take control of a part of themselves that others have likely given them a hard time about (that said, I am guessing this piercing is no longer in place)…
The Blood Scarf
I got an email recently about an art project by Laura Splan (a very interesting medical/body fine artist) that I thought was worth sharing here. This piece is a scarf knitted from surgical tubing, which is colored with — and I suppose alive to due to — the wearer’s own blood.
Chinese Portrait Tattoo
This great tattoo was done by “W” of Yao Zhan Tattoo (“Cut Waist Tattoo” — a kind of execution in China) in Bai Huai, Xiao Zhai, Xi’an, Shanxi, China.
