I wasn’t going to post a second guess what today, but after cropping this photo I figured that some people might not be able to tell what it is. So here we go, another round of Guess What?
Read on to see if you guessed right.
Honestly, I think this one is probably an easy one to guess, but since it’s been a while since we’ve seen a tattooed full subincision alongside a deep shaft piercing.
Credit goes to Joeltron and Howie for the wide variety of modifications you’re seeing.
This is one of those cautionary tales that somehow turned out all right in the end. Of course, it took the help of three modification artists to make it happen, but I’d say it was worth it. Here’s the story in Joeltron’s words.
Originally pierced at 12g and stretched WAY too fast to 12mm (by himself) with acrylic stretchers. Never a good thing, especially for this poor nipple! After the reconstruction they are nearly totally back to normal, except for a little bit of lost sensation.
So with the help of Howie and B-Slice, Joel was able to revert this nipple disaster.
It’s been four years since Joeltron took a huge risk and had the white of his eye tattooed. Here’s what he has to say about this milestone.
My eyeball tattoo. Now over 4 years old, done by Lunacobra.net (Howie). It was the first one done in Australia, these days there are quite a more floating around – but I thought I would share this macro photo. I have had absoultly NO problems with vision, discomfort or anything after I had it done. Around a week of mind discharge and being a bit squinty, then it looked exactly the same as it does today.
We all know that eyeball tattoos are incredibly dangerous, and can lead to blindness, however, it’s good to see that Joel hasn’t lost his vision, and the colour is just as bright as the first day he had it done.

I’m thinking the number of beers before this guy uses that as a pickup line is around two. This was uploaded by Joeltron, but the watermarking indicates that it was probably Howie that did this tattoo. In any case, someone at First Blood in Sydney gave this happy guy the pokeball he wanted, and gave us a new addition to the geek tattoo gallery.
I know that tattooing the sclera doesn’t change the color of your vision, but when you see images like this it’s natural to think that she may be seeing the world through a purple haze. Just so we’re clear, eyeball tattooing is extremely dangerous and can easily lead to blindness with the smallest error.
As you’ve probably guessed by the watermark, this eyeball tattoo was done by Howie down at First Blood in Sydney, Australia.
Eyeball tattooing. We’ve talked about it before when it first started to come about a few years back. Shannon did a great piece on it, as he documented the procedure that Howie did on him. It’s been well over 4 years since that article and while it is still extremely rare, we do occasionally get submissions. I just want to note that while it has been successful for some people, this is one of the riskiest procedures and can easily lead to blindness. Do not under any circumstance even attempt this without proper research and preparation, and even then you can still lose vision, and possibly the eye itself.
That all said, here’s a client of xRonix showing off his blackened sclera.
xRonix is currently working at Extreme Needle in London.
Again, don’t even think of attempting this without extensive research. If anything is off by the smallest of measurements it is possible to go blind.
Today’s follow-up comes from First Blood in Sydney Australia. Howie put together a side-by-side comparison of this swan piece he did 8 months ago which is looking fantastic.
In keeping with the theme from my last post, “mods that stir up a genuine sense of awesomeness for me”, I present to you Mason’s (who you may remember from this Modblog gem from the past ) deep chest “piercings”. I say piercing in quotes, because while these are opening in the skin filled with a piece of jewelry, the procedure to get them there (and healed) was FAR from a piercing.
When I first saw this picture on Tumblr, I shot Mason a message I wanted 2 things: a) a better photo of this mod and maybe some additional photos. b) his permission to post this on modblog. That little bastard never responded to me and I realized 2 things: a) this mod is so AWESOME that if all we can get is a homoerotic myspace mirror shot, then that’s what we will post! b) This is Mason, am I really waiting on permission from him?
Since I never got the full 411 from Mason, I am basing the following information on what he told me a long time ago, and my own theories so if anyone involved with this project wants to jump in and correct me, please do so.
These “piercings” started as subdermal implants done by none other than Brian Decker (if memory serves me correct). After the subdermals were allowed sufficient time to heal, they were removed which left behind a healed fistula. Then the entry and exit points for the new “piercing” were opened by Howie and teflon jewelry was inserted. (Thanks to Tony for correcting me on the implant to piercings steps). This left behind a piercing that would be nearly impossible to heal using traditional manners and a mod that I have only actually seen one other time…and that was on Fakir Musafar!
