But what hole is it (c/o iam:nospec)?
Hint: it involves an amputation

Handlebars
I think this customer of Rae at Liquid in Lubbock, Texas is very clearly asking that someone ride him… (PS. Previously).
Self-Portrait Tattoo
Chavito got a funny cracked self-portrait done by Craneo at Garage Ink in Mexico City, which is (I think) where he’s also the piercer…
Bleeding Knife
This time, much less graphic and shocking than the one added half an hour ago! Billy’s ribs, a scarification and tattoo combo piece, were done by Shon.
A couple punny genital tattoos
The uncensored photos continue after the break…
Above, photo by Lane, Dragon FX Kingsway in Edmonton asks, “who’s he going to shoot with … next?” I suppose… The literal “One-Eyed Jack” tattoo below, done by Mr. Blue at Ink It in London UK, was tagged by the wearer “Looking for some fun”…
Rose the Unidonkey
PorkeyGristle‘s donkey is named rose, and thinks that it’s a unicorn (a regular subject here)… It was done for him by Matt Kerley at Garry’s Skin Grafix in Greenville, NC.
Self-Stabbing Ritual
In relation to the skewer pictures below, here are some current photos that are quite graphic on the subject. This particular photo set is from back in February, and since then the sender has healed without complication and submitted another set of similar pictures of a more recent ritual. Illustration of the depth of the cuts continues after the break.
16th Century Play Piercing
In reference to the previous history post, Matthias wrote me with a pointer to the cover of a 1973 Campo di Marte album (an Italian prog-rock band). The album focuses on the foolishness of war, and with that in mind, the cover is an old Italian engraving (probably from the 1500s — please post here if you know more) of Turkish mercenaries doing play piercing to show their courage.
Click to see a much higher resolution scan of the album cover that shows the illustration in good detail. BTW, Mattias released this album on his label if you’re interested!
Josh’s Blue Eye Project Continues!
Howie (LunaCobra) sent me an update on Josh‘s blue eye tattoo project which is looking great! I’m very jealous! Howie’s done a few more eyeball tattoos as well since he did the three of us (Josh, Pauly, and myself) last summer, and a few other people have experimented with it as well, both with machines and injection. Check it out, and there are two more (less “manipulated”?) photos after the break.
More entries on eye tattooing on ModBlog — 1 2 3 4 5 — as well as on my personal blog. I’ll try and post an update on the problems with mine — I have what seems to be a permanent, albeit probably harmless, bump on my eye — in the next few days.
Dan DiMattia Backpiece
Niknak recently had her already extensive work by Dan DiMattia of Calypso Tattoo in Liege, Belgium. This latest session is about ten hours of work, and you can see lots more pictures on her IAM page.
