I’m totally loving Trashalicious‘s wonderful Barbie thigh tattoos (continue after the break for a larger photo as well). They were done by Heather Robinson, at Fenix Tattoo in Seattle, and she explains that they’re modeled after her mother’s own retro-Barbie, and dedicated to her doll-collecting grandma, “as a way to beautify part of my body that I hate, in part, thanks to Barbie and her impossible figure.”

Aww, Irina in Sweden pierced her brother’s septum for him and it made his eyes water! I’m sure a lot of people can relate to that.
That is, unless he’s crying because he got pierced in a parking lot! 😛

Jymmi had Howie (LunaCobra) implant magnets into his earlobes. He won’t be able to use them for “clip on” jewelry like in this photo (the tissue would die from the pressure), but maybe he’ll be able to “hear” electromagnetism?

With all due apologies, any time I see a fit blond tattooed guy, all I can think of is the freaky Russian body builder! Lexci snapped this shot (one of a large number posted by various people to the galleries) at this year’s APP convention. By the way, that’s Eric who was featured when the cuttings were fresh.

Sorry I’ve been slacking on getting interviews posted — I’ve actually got probably a dozen that are 92% ready, so Roo‘s going to be helping me get them polished off and posted, starting with fellow Brit Diddy, a piercer and body modification artist from Bournemouth. As always, click through for the interview, come back to comment!
These two very much in love Star Trek fans got matching TNG badges to celebrate their two year anniversary (see also: happy Trek fan tattoo, and Data’s signature tattoo) by Randy at The Body Shop in Slidell, LA.
Brad on the other hand has been dealt a far harsher hand by Cupid, with his “Fuck Love” tattoo by Miguel at Body and Soul in Jersey City, NJ.
Edit/update: I noticed this in my queue, so I figured I might as well add it to this entry since it matches the theme. “FOREVER” and “&EVER” inner lip tattoos, as done by Jay at Bulldog in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Zachariah says that he has an ass so sweet that he had to get a cupcake on it (done by Adrian at Seventh Street Tattoo in Little Rock, AR).
