Anti-Tragus Removal

A few weeks ago I posted on my personal blog that I wanted to remove my anti-tragus — so I was quite pleased to get this freshly done anti-tragus removal from iam:Howie (aka LunaCobra.net). His procedure for them is to elevate the skin off of the cartilage and then removal so that there is enough skin to comfortably stitch around the new form. Very cool to see these in a modern/Western context! If giant labrets and giant nostrils can come back into style, I hope this can as well.

First of all, if you’re reading this and it’s the top entry on ModBlog, the latest update on IAM is down a few entries. I’ll post another one later tonight. I’ll probably have to replace a couple components on the machine, so if you’d like to help out, please take a few pictures (if possible for BME/extreme or BME/HARD, but navels help too!) and email them to [email protected] (the online submissions forms are offline). And now back to your regularly scheduled programming…

What a wonderful photo! It sure looks like somewhere I’d rather be than here dealing with computer problems, ha! Click to take a closer look at the tattoo.

Dan Eldon Inspired Tattoo

“What is the difference between exploring and getting lost?”, from The Journey is the Destination by Dan Eldon (a photojournalist, artist, and adventurer that was killed while reporting in Somalia), tattooed at Dickmann Tattoo in Denmark. I guess if I was going to answer the question I’d say when you’re exploring, you’re seeking out something new, but when you’re lost, you’re seeking out something familiar.
