Braille Scars

c/o The Darthside,

“It says love as thou wilt, inspired by the Kushiel Saga Elua.”

“When I heard the guys from Visavajara were coming up to do a show at a fetish party, I called them and talked Roland into doing the scarification while they were here. I wouldn’t know who else in Germany to trust with this kind of thing, really. And because apparently he liked the project, Roland said yes. In order to keep their workload at a minimum, I then went and begged my tattooist to prepare the stencil, and he also said yes.”

“Anyways, all the Visavajara people are really awesome; we met at Catonium an hour before the beginning of the party, and they took us into the backstage room (an old style classroom usually used for roleplay), and from there on it’s pretty much all in the pictures.”

A few more pictures are after the break.

So…?

Just quickly updating you with what’s going on, the last bits of what’s needed to post an update are done (and much of it is already sitting on the server in anticipation), and both Roo and I should update the main sites tomorrow morning, with regular updates being expected to resume later in the week. Until then, my friend Moritura is thrilled with her new large-gauge lip piercing (10mm, done by Roland from Visavajara), and be sure to check out the great Mentawai Islands tattoo story below.

Argh/Edit: Due to server configuration issues beyond my control, I’m not able to update yet. Roo has been able to post to BMEvideo though, and with any luck the problems restricting my ability to update will be dealt with soon.

The rarest piercing in the world?

I’ve seen a lot of unusual piercings over the last thirteen years. However, I think of all rare piercings, the rarest may well be the hymen piercing (among other things, most women who go for genital piercings are sexually active already). The example in this entry (click here for an unpierced before shot) was done by Ralf at Visavajara in Freiburg, Germany (one of my favorite towns in Germany), and it is only the second example of one that I’ve seen.

I am afraid I do not know the stories behind either of the two piercings… In the case the customer didn’t say why they wanted the piercing, and Ralf didn’t pry. I can think of a million interesting reasons for these, but I don’t know which of them it is.
