Here’s Knightowl36 caught in the act of doing a 0ga deep PA on himself (yes, the procedure is a little bloody). He writes, “If anybody told me how painful it would be to pee after preforming a “0ga deep PA” on oneself, I NEVER would have done it.”
Well, he stuck it out and it’s healing well (which is good, because I did one of these on myself about ten years ago using the same DIY procedure and healing was a nightmare). Oh, and if you’re wondering, that’s a transscrotal you’re seeing as well.
I’m very happy to post this interview with one of the coolest and smartest pierced people I know! Click the picture to jump through to the interview! Thank you to Alvar for taking the time to chat, and congratulations to him on his achievements and representing modified people so well. (For those of you who don’t remember, click through).
BME: Do you think you have to work harder as a pierced person?
Alvar: No, not at all… you should simply always work hard. Being pierced/modified should neither give nor take any rights from you — you deserve the same treatment, and you are free to look different.
At first I was going to comment that this isn’t going to last at all, but then I look down at my own knuckles, and I have high detail scars from my old knuckle piercings, as well as cuts from various punches and hand injuries. So maybe it will last. Either way, it’s more nice clean work by Brian of Pure Body Arts in Brooklyn, NY (although I’ll mention again that he tours regularly).
Keff‘s halfsleeve was done in a stippled style by Marc at Swastika Freakshop in Radolfzell am Bodensee, Germany, and I think it’s definitely one of my favorite BME tattoos — up there with Joeltron’s backpiece.
Girl‘s right forearm, tattooed by Gavin Rowbottom at Feline in Sheffield, and her eight week old son. Interesting juxtaposition with the previous entry!
Um… Alright… iam:xxproudxx by Bret Turner in Maysville, Kentucky.
ShavenSquirrel‘s in progress tattoo by Renee at Lucky Lady in Richmond, KY.
Because of the clear jewelry, you can see the sutures (note: not all artists suture these) on the inside edge of this ear cutting by Christiane at Pinpoint Piercing in Norway.
You may remember at the start of the month I posted shots of The Engima‘s (iam:TheEnigma) ear reshaping by Howie (LunaCobra.net) when they were fresh and sutured. They’re healing really well, and The Enigma sends in these shots of how it’s doing these days.
