Deep Chest Piercing Update


We last posted about these deep chest piercings by Roland at Visavajara in Freiburg, Germany, about a month ago when they were fresh, and here we have an update after four weeks of healing or so. The piercings definitely look a little angry around the edges, but this is not an easy procedure to heal. Nice to see he’s stuck with it, though, and I’m sure we’re all curious to see if they can heal to the point that they can be worn “permanently.” Another shot, after the jump.

Aww, Nothing Gets Santorum Out


I really like that this tattoo came down the pipe just as poet laureate Dan Savage decided on a definition for America’s favorite new dirty sexy sex word, Saddlebacking, in honor of the awful walrus-looking gay-hating purpose-driven pastor of the Saddleback Church, Rick Warren. That is all.

BME and Facebook, Together at Last!


Look at all those guys with their pants down at a tattoo convention (presumably) in Singapore that Bellboy sent in! One may think this is all fun and games BUT NO, they are all about to be affixed with the stone of shame because they haven’t signed up for the all-new BME News Facebook application! It’s literally as easy as pushing a button to join, and then you’ll have another way to view and share the articles you read here.

Honestly? I was hesitant to join Facebook for a long time and will still reject almost every app request people send me (STOP THROWING SNOWBALLS, DAMN IT), but this is legitimately well designed and a pretty handy tool. Click here to add it to your profile.

Oh what do you know, those guys at the top added it, too! Remove the stone of shame! Attach the stone of triumph!

“Hang Out With Your Daikon Out!”


Oh hey, here is some sexy fun-time! Renowned produce aficionado, Mateo (top right), is up to his old tricks using vegetables and such for reasons other than God intended (adorning sacrifices). This time, he is hanging out with people are going to be his roommates soon, apparently! Convenient that they all enjoy covering their sinful bits with veggies. Another shot of Mateo and a strategically placed gourd, after the jump.

Third-Wheel Legend


Hey, now here’s a rather simple, discreet cutting design — the sort of thing that’s probably likely to heal lightly and serve, more than anything, as a mostly private source of joy for the wearer. But oh ho ho, what’s this?

Ha ha, hey, it’s like an old school cycling jersey! But, um, with less blood, actually.

And That’d be a Single-Point Resurrection Suspension


As suspensions become increasingly popular, almost ubiquitous, it’s becoming more difficult to execute a performance involving an act that involves something that has never been seen before. Now, I don’t know if this is the first time a single-point resurrection suspension has been done successfully, but hot holy damn, it is awfully impressive nonetheless. More shots of Damien, after the jump.

(Suspension performance by Hanged Man Team in Melbourne, Australia. Video of the suspension can be found on Hanged Man’s Facebook page, as well as on Piercing Pete’s IAM page.)

CSI: Guelph?


So Allen “Eagle Eye” Falkner was sitting down for his nightly chamomile and CSI when he noticed, hey, that poster on the right side of the screen looks familiar, doesn’t it?

Oh, it’s Orbax! How about that? One may think the CSI set designer is just a fan of Rue Morgue, but I’m not so sure. Sometimes a poster … can be covering up a secret.
