I just realized that in the interview with Vincent Hocquet, I didn’t include a picture of him! This shot of him and Penny was taken by their friend Vinnie.
EDIT: Ack! This is actually Benny and Jasmijn, two customers of Vincent’s! Sorry for the mistaken identity.
Elaine Davidson, the Guinness World Record holder for the “most pierced person” stopped by Southside Body Piercing Studio in Glasgow, Scotland for some work, and Paula sent in a snap. Yes, before you ask, I agree, I’d love to do an interview with her!

This piercing by Pat Tidwell at Slave to the Needle in Seattle, Washington reminds me of the most recent “guess what” entry, although the anatomy is more unusual. You can keep reading to get a better look at it, but he calls it the “anal hood piercing” — he describes the tissue as skin similar to labial tissue and says this is only the second time he’s seen anyone with this anatomy… Not sure what the cause of it is, but it’s definitely pierceable.

As I promised, I was doing a series of amputation-related articles. This is the third in that series, and probably the last that I’ll post in a while on that vein. This one is a chat with two people who each decided to self-amputate a finger, disguised as an “accident”. Click through to read the article, and come back here to comment.
In a few days (just waiting back for a final set of questions) I’ll be posting an interview with Kamal Jeet Sharma about his tattoo studio in Ludhiana, Punjab and his efforts to professionalize tattooing in India. Mark from Everything and Nothing snapped this photo of some of Kamal’s typical “competition”, a street tattoo machine he saw in Northern India in the Himalayan foothills.
Lane (who I’ll be posting an interview with hopefully this week) took this photo of Sheena, who had this note-shaped silicone implant done by Brian at Pure Body Arts (Brooklyn, NY) while he was guesting at Lane’s shop in Edmonton, Alberta.
