Grow your own cockring! My old friend c_ntryboy (who recently had a way more intense modification — a shoulder replacement) has gone through a few ordeals achieving his transscrotal piercing, but it sure looks like it’s doing great now… he can even turn himself inside-out (or upside-down?).

So… how do you DMCA a tattoo off of a person? Am I allowed to tell people that it’s a “09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0 tattoo”? Is a magazine permitted to print photos of this tattoo? Can the tattoo artist or shop (Good Faith Tattoos, Boston) be sued? Can the person wearing the tattoo be sued? Can a corporation force a medical procedure (a tattoo removal)? Can they force him to always wear a shirt? Well, Rich from The New Freedom has decided to be the bait!
Edit: I’ve been told to submit this to Digg, but because (continuing in the “Digg loves censorship” meme) Digg has banned its users from linking to ModBlog because they find the content offensive, so it’s not gonna happen.
A photo of sideshow artist asphixiatedtrash — click through for a shot of her pulling with Adam Burdine (who tattoos in Las Vegas). I’ll probably post one or two of them shortly, but check out her IAM page for closeups of her tattoos.

If you’re wondering exactly what the tattoo (by Spider at House of Ink in Venice Beach, CA) means, the computer-enslaved wearer explains, “it’s my clicking hand.”
Marti finally pulled!

3/4″ lobes, 10ga septum piercing, 14ga Madison surface piercing; by Samantha Robles, 454 Tattoo & Body Piercing in Encinitas, CA.
The waste material you see below is all that was left of a magnet that had been in place for quite a while that was removed as part of testing — James Wisniewski, who removed the implant, writes,
“These are the remains of a single magnet implanted in a finger tip. The magnet has broken down, but left the surrounding tissue intact. This magnet was in for over eight months and there were no visible signs indicating any problem with the magnet. The removal was to check on the condition of these experimental magnets along with the interior pocket of tissue which it sat in.”
I’ll say again: the functional effects of the magnetic implants are absolutely wonderful, but their current stability and safety level is far from making them acceptable for general use in my opinion.

I think the answer is correct, but the question just doesn’t make much sense to me. Well, it took seven and a half million years to get this far… I guess I can be patient. (See also: lots of geek/nerd-esque tattoos).
