That’s one deep piercing — you can see a “normal” one in front of it. My friend Tanya from Austria writes me, “Now that’s a real navel… my mum said it’s no navel piercing, it’s a stomach piercing!!! Deep and long (27 mm) navel, done at Raciel (Austria)… I’m ready to stretch.”
Peter in Germany writes us about his “permanent and unusual piercings”, inspired by the permanent chain piercings on BME. He says,
I have done this without any anaesthetic, and the biggest surprise was that there was very little pain — only when the needle came out. I had built that “needle” myself — more of a small steel lancet-knife (normally used to make skalpels). The dimensions are 0.5 to 2 mm, and about 15cm long. One end was ground to a sharp diagonal blade, and the other end forms a hook. It goes in from the bottom without any pain or blood, through the uretra, and only when the tip of that needle reached the top layer of the skin did I feel a little discomfort, no worse than having blood taken.
Pulling in the chain needed more force than I expected, and I wanted to give up, but then the chain was through. I went to a jewelry shop to get the chain closed. The man in the shop asked me to get the chain out of my trousers, but I told him it went through a healed guiche-pearcing and he managed the closing in place. Once at home again I pulled the connecting ring inside my body so this slightly different looking ring cannot be seen anymore. That was a little more painful than the initial procedure, because the healing process had already started.
Now I can pull with any force on both sides of that chain without any discomfort. It is totally locked inside, without any probems during the healing process. Now it only can “removed” by cutting off the outside parts of the chain, but I do not see any reason to do so.

I hope pasting this into the PHP-powered WordPress blog doesn’t break anything. I’m not so sure because I’m not really a very good PHP programmer and am always breaking stuff — I’m more of an assembly language and microcontroller kind of guy.
Anyway, Mike got this done by Hurley at studio3tattoo in Suncook, New Hampshire.
Peter’s leg tattoos (which I quite like) are by Dong Dong at Mummy Tattooo in Beijing, and his back is by Jan at Fuer Immer (“Forever”) in Berlin.
I don’t know if this is really the universal tattoo shared by all true lovers of salad tossing, by it was applied by Kev Walters at Spunky Monkeys Tattoo Studio in Newport, Pagnell.
I love this balloon-play piercing photo from my old friend Roberta Lima. The photo is by Susann Rezniczek and the piercing by Miriam Meadows. In memorium.
…but are they real? Damn, photos like this make me realize what bad shape I’m in. Well, not bad shape, but let’s say how much nicer shape I’d like to be in. I started my last relationship as a fat guy (like 265 pounds)… I think when I start over, I’d like to do it a bit more athletically.
Anyway, sorry for rambling — nice 6ga nipple piercings too.
By one of the defining artists of the genre, Brian in New York City, although this leopard-undie work was done on poisonouspennington while in Toronto for BMEfest. Thanks to Sistinas for the photo.
The problem with being a modified person in porn is that even with a black bar across your face (oh, you only noticed the other stuff shooting over her face?), ultimately your tattoos give you away. Good timing on the camera trigger finger there, woodsman.
