It might just be because it’s Autumn fall here in Toronto, but I really like Jill‘s (who is a piercer at the studio where it was done) fall-leaves-leg-sleeve*..
* – Trying saying that with your mouth full of swept up leaves. Oh and it’s not just because it’s fall in Toronto, I’d love it any time of the year.

I’m pretty sure there’s not much I need to say about this awesome cautery scalp branding, other than it’s by Steve Haworth (more, if you have half an hour to kill) and on the very gorgeous Jessestar (more)..
Plenty more appearing on BMEzine.com soon!
Skin removal by Martin Page whilst he was on the road in Peru.
And so do bums for that matter – Can you spot yours? (You don’t have to ‘fess up if you’d rather not..)
P.S. – How do you feel about boobies being pierced when they can’t fully consent? Heh.

I vaguely remember crying this much when I first had my ears pierced, I’ve toughened up a bit in the ten years since then though.
Humour aside if it were my kid (or if I were the piercer for that matter) I really would have to search myself very hard for any reason why it would be necessary or fair to pierce someone so young, someone that still isn’t able to control bodily functions most adults take for granted, let alone decide if it’s what they want. It certainly can’t be so they’re popular at nursery school, or because “all the other babies are doing it”.
Granted the physical trauma is minimal but I just don’t believe a baby belongs in a piercing environment, at all..
No offence to the mother (I’m assuming she’s the mother) in the photo but seeing my child in obvious distress, whether it be through physical pain, emotional stress or otherwise, would definitely lead me to reassess any decision that caused that distress, for a decade or so anyway.
I’m sure posting this will restart the “should kids be pierced” debate, so click the previous links then come back here if you feel like taking part or shouting at each other. Just don’t take the last two seriously..
They’re both family traditions!

Remember this delightful couple? Well Sindy‘s BMEzine logo tattoo is by Stan of Way Cool Oakville, Ontario and she thought it would be fitting as her husband is a medical student..
