I admit that my knowledge of Polish avant-garde hip-hop is woefully underdeveloped, but nonetheless, I can certainly appreciate this portrait of one of the ostensible pioneers of the genre, Bartosz Waglewski/Fisz, nicely rendered by Tofi at Art-Line in Rybnik, Poland. After the jump, his older brother, Emade, a hip-hop producer as well.

This play piercing photo comes from Cris Black at Aces and Eights, who explains:
did this play piercing in Norcross, Georgia, on a client/friend of mine named Heather (on whose chest I’ve done microdermal implants). The original idea was to have both girls (Heather and Hailey) to have wings, but after seven needles were placed, Hailey passed out, so we had to make do with only the one girl. The piercings only took about 30 minutes, the photo shoot that followed took about six hours; 74 22-gauge needles. This was the first play piercing Heather had ever been a part of and she’s already asked for more—I think she’s hooked.

Nacho suspension! Eh? Eh?
**gongggggg**
ANYWAY, here we have the aforementioned Ignacio’s first suspension in Montevideo, Uruguay, being attended to by the lovely La Negra, who basically lives on ModBlog. As far as first suspensions go, this one seems like it got a lot of the parts just right. A few more shots after the jump.

Alice has been featured on these here Internets once or twice before, and with good reason! Easy on the eyes, heavy blackwork sleeves, multiple excellent pieces by the esteemed Xed le Head and, apparently, total imperviousness to the cold and snow. Warning! Naughty bits, after the jump.

Gabriel sends in this CSQ-facilitated birthday suspension, where apparently cake has been ditched in favor of a pile of delicious poutine! I support this.

These nice clean cuts were done by Franzz at Exiting Body Piercing in Besançon, France. On an unrelated note, I’m going to go trim my cat’s claws. See you in the morning, ModBloggers.

Comes from Greece this cutting does! No information attached was there, but too good to pass up it was! Give thanks we would like to, anonymous stranger!
EDIT: Whoops, apparently this has been posted before. On the plus side, at least we can now give credit (again!) to Ryan Corrigal at Strange City in Edmonton, Alberta. I will, however, leave this post up, as a testament to the dire consequences that can result from not including artist information as part of a BME submission. (I.e., I end up looking like a jackass.) Also, please don’t send in stolen images.
