That is a LOT of skin to remove
I think this scarification by Josh Burgh at Blue Horseshoe Tattoo in Virginia Beach really pushes the limits of how much skin is safe to remove at once. That’s a lot of exposed flesh to ask the body to heal, and would put enormous strain on the immune system. I think if it was me I’d do it in sections, but, at the same time I’ve seen other large removals heal very nicely.
Hitler Portrait Tattoo
My friend Joseph who tattoos at Visual Orgasm in Singapore got me wondering… Is this like the equivalent of someone getting an Attila the Hun tattoo just because you know he’s a bad ass or something? I really wonder what the meaning is in the context of Singapore…
After all, people get plenty of evil characters from fiction tattooed on them because it appeals to them on some level, even though they’re not endorsing the evil actions or anything… Is this different somehow because it strikes a more real and current nerve? I don’t know. That said, I can say with 100% certainty that I would never personally get a Hitler tattoo!!!!

Candice
My friend Saira says I should be looking up photos of more handsome black men but I’m going to post this nice photo of Candice instead. My brother is visiting tomorrow so I think I may take a few days off posting (or at least I’ll lighten up and post just one or two things). See you then.
Oh, and you might have noticed I didn’t post tattoos here today. That’s because there’s a tattoo update on BME (and there will be more over the next few days), and for the more unusual of you, BMEvideo has a couple more pages of videos as well.
FREAK Skin Removal
At the beach
The nails are INTENSE!
I like this play piercing corsetry, fish hooking, and full-on-nailing photo from MetallicAthlete.
Always a good thing.
I think that La_exotique needs to stretch up from 16ga — that’s too small for a nipple piercing — but I sure won’t complain when people scrawl “BME” on their boobs and send me a photo. It rarely disappoints.
