Dotwork Tribal Leg Tattoo
This great dotwork tattoo was poked by Eric at Kunst Med Puls in Oslo, Norway. I really love how dotwork has taken off in the last year… I posted a lot of amazing pieces to BodyTwo and hopefully soon we’ll get all that content moved over here.
Once you go black…
I was recently interviewed about “internal body modification”, and we talked about uvula piercing, discrete implants, cervix piercing, soft palette piercing, and debated whether tongue piercings and tongue splitting counted. We talked about internal scarification (and martial arts designed to do “body building” on internal organs), and internal tattooing. At the time, the only example other than oral tattooing (tongues, and I’ve seen a soft palette tattoo as well) I could think of was anal tattooing, but in today’s update (which is just finished uploading and I hope to uncompress it before I go to bed) is lots from my DIY-mod friend “Black Cock” who has a bonus gallery in BME/HARD, and reminded me of two other examples. Read on…
I’ll explain the gnarly picture above in a moment, but BC has got nearly completely black genitals from DIY tattooing, including his urethra, which is a more-common-than-you’d-imagine modification as I can think of a few guys who’ve tattooed the insides of their subincisions (ouch!).
Unfortunately his constant tattooing has left him with some scarring on the glans:
The method is uses for tattooing is a large syringe full of ink which he injects under the skin. He’s recently experimented with much deeper injections, causing his internal tissues to be tattooed as well as he heavily saturates his genitals with ink. He did what amounts to a saline injection but with tattoo ink, so large part of the inside of his scrotum and perhaps part of his testicles are now black as well — in the title picture above, taken not long after the fresh picture below, you can see that the injection points unfortunately became abscesses as his body resisted this transformation.
Anyway, if you’re a member, there are something like 300 new pictures in his already extensive gallery.
Steampunk Heart Tattoo
I don’t really have anything profound to write about it, but I really liked this Steampunk-esque heart tattoo, done by Travis Hulshizer at Brainstorm Tattoo in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Floral Play Piercing to Match Tattoo
Nickk Leading at Perforations/Mantra Tattoo in Lakewood, Colorado recently did this play piercing session with just eight 25ga needles on Jessica, with artificial flowers in the needles to match her back tattoo. Some more photos follow after the break.
My Friend Boris
My friend Boris from Russia is a man…
…a man with a vagina!
(Interview about his life and surgery pending)
Inspired by SLAYER
I was wondering for how many people the first contact they had with cutting and scarification was Slayer artwork (a la the oft-emulated cover of “Serenity in Murder” in 1995) — I’d wager that for more people than might admit it that Slayer was what “flipped the switch”. Anyway, not that it’s the first time I’ve posted a Slayer scar (remember “GOD HATES US ALL“?), but a couple from the last update got me thinking about it again.
This first one, a nape cutting, and his first time behind the blade, was gingerly cut by Jasn at Pacific Rootz in Maui, Hawaii.
On the other hand, Matias went I think a little more metal with his DIY slayer scar, choosing to cut it first with a scalpel as well, but, not satisfied with the level of damage, followed it up with a recut/burn with a red-hot knife.
No excuse for it
You know, given that for at least the last decade there’s been lots of easy to find information on suitable jewelry and the appropriate placement of that jewelry, it always surprises — and offends — me that it’s still a daily event to see poorly placed and generally irresponsible body art (such as the terrible nostril and industrial I recently posted). For example, why do I still see shallow navels like this all the time?
The only thing that could make it worse is this jewelry, which my friend Anders actually removed from a customer’s body! It was bought at a flea market in Australia…
And don’t get me started on tattoos. Every day I see tattoos — from long-surviving studios no less — where my first thought is that the average ten year old kid could probably draw something better. I don’t know if I’m more shocked that the artists are wholly unaware of their shortcomings, or that the clients are. I mean, it’s not like you can’t get tattoo magazines at every store, showing you what a tattoo is “supposed” to looked like… Can people really not tell the difference?
Impgrin Interview Posted
Ooops! I forgot today was still Winter Break at school, so I don’t have time to post here until this evening on account of it being a day of four-year-old play. However, I quickly blasted through 1,800 images which are uploading now, and I’m reposting another one of my BodyTwo interviews, this time the very personal and touching “Impgrin” interview about a life exploring genital inflation and then a love story that repairs a set of genitals deeply damaged from mineral oil injections gone wrong.

Dermatographic Artwork
When I posted the “LUST” scar, it was commented that it looked a lot like dermagraphism, a relatively common skin condition (affecting as many as one in twenty people) in which even minor contact causes inflammation. Anyway, I saw today on Neatorama a reference to artist Ariana Page Russell, who uses her dermagraphism to create art — these are temporary of course, but I like some of the designs a lot and they’d translate really nicely into permanent designs as well. There are a few more pictures after the break and of course, check out Ariana’s page for more.
