Quite a while ago (over two years ago actually), Kivaka sent me these shots of people who came into his shop with rejecting piercings, at least one of them completely unaware that there was even a problem!
What is that held in by? Hair?

I guess there’s more than one puzzle guy!
“Long story,” he writes. What’s funny is that the Enigma‘s puzzle tattoos, if I remember right, are actually a rather short story! Anyway, enjoy today’s updates here and BME as well, and I’ll have more tomorrow including more historical pieces (I just didn’t have time today, sorry).
Oh yeah, and for those of you who are prudish, a warning: I think there may be more dirty pictures in today’s update than usual. Not that I expect many complaints.
DATA’s Signature
Signature by Brent Spiner, made permanent at Dark Moon in Vancouver, Washington. If you’re the wearer of this, let me add a personal comment just for you: your email address was the icing on the cake! I love Trekkie tattoos.

Got Crabs?
I can’t say that a crab is what I’d choose as pubic tattoo, but then I’ve never had crabs so maybe I don’t realize just how awesome they are. Thanks to my friends Valentin and Genislav at Ink Brothers in Sofia, Bulgaria for sending this in. And please don’t whine that it’s blurred. If you need to see more that desperately, the uncensored version will be in the BME/extreme archives.
Italian Skin Removal
Haha, thanks to “sex sells more records than rock so let’s fuck” Meltbanana from Milano for this fun picture of her pubic skin removal scarification. Outside of the fact that I always like pictures of pretty naked girls, I like seeing pictures of happy people even more.
August Toe Revision
A friend who I’ve featured here before with his finger revisions sends in this work he did back in August to give his toes a shorter and cleaner look. The quality of work he’s done is really quite exceptional for self-amputation and the healed results (you can see some on the smaller toes) are very nice if you’re into this sort of thing.
