Suspending over a stream in Mexico

Posted on June 30, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Thank you again to Jorge from Jaguar Colibri for this photo.

Anyway, I am very tired and am going to bed. Because of BMEfest obligations and pleasures, I won’t be able to post here again until probably Tuesday. Have a good holiday weekend everyone!

For that guy, I share this photo of Moritura‘s new breast piercings, done by exitus84 of Bavaria, and illustrate the importance of differentiation.

Mmmm!

I admit it took me a moment to realize it was a lychee, but then all I could think about is how good they taste! Vertical labret and labrets by Chris at Poke a Hole Body Piercing on Kalakaua in Waikiki (inside of Skin Deep Tattoo).

Earlier this month I showed you Tina‘s new Romeo and Juliet sleeve, so I couldn’t resist sharing these great beach shots of her by AnGeLinPayN on Australia’s Gold Coast (Brisbane).
