So… I forgot that Survivor is on today, and yes, I am a “friend of Bill Jeff.” SA, you know… So I’m sorry if today’s posts seem limited or rushed in any way… Today was a long day of branding with Blair so there wasn’t much time to write. Anyway, I’m leaving you with more gorgeous photos of Eva at the Japanese seaside (because it reminds me of Survivor). Members do be sure to visit her gallery (‘Kitano’) in the bonus galleries section of BME/HARD.
And now I’m off to the PVR.

The next tattoo I’m planning is a rather explicit Tom of Finland-style piece on my leg. However, because I have a kid, and do occasionally go out in public, I have to talk to a lawyer about it first… If I show it in public, can I be charged? It’s not like you can walk around in public showing people gay porn. What if my daughter sees it? Could I be charged as a child abuser?
The explicit and I guess blasphemous pinup tattoo on the right was done by Jeff at Permanent Images in Ottawa. The bearer tells me that he’s gotten some grief for it in public, but I was wondering if he could actually be charged as I described above. I don’t see how it’s any different from walking around in public showing people erotica?
Speaking of branding (that’s where I was today), I like this nice simple piece (well healed in this photo) by Muffe Vulnuz of CHBE in Copenhagen. While some of the scar work that’s coming out these days is truly stunning (see the entry below this!) and often quite complex, I think these simple brands are closest to my heart personally. No pun intended!
I just keep getting more and more impressed by the scar work I’m seeing from Wayde at Puncture in Maroochydore, Qld, Australia. It’s really stunning stuff. Check out this Mayan king design he did — in these photos it’s about four months old and keloiding beautifully.
Tattoo by Sheldon at Mozaik Tattoo in Shreveport, Louisiana.
“Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.” (huh?)
Not because of the tattoo, but because of the fetish.
These great photos are by Regis Hertrich (who I’ve featured here before) of Baawo‘s facial cuttings by Samppa Von Cyborg. I think if I was making a list of top-10 “cool looking modified people” there’s a real good chance I’d have Baawo on my list.

But I have friends with funny kinks, and I like to share the pictures here. This is effervescent pill play… I can’t tell you that this isn’t profoundly unhealthy, but at the same time, I can’t tell you that it’s a bad idea with any certainty… I can tell you though that she’s fine, so the experiment was a success I suppose?
