Yowch, snug piercings — the only piercing named after a clothing line — hurt badly enough without any extra tricks… but I quite like this snug orbital placement that Jennn had done by JD at Evolution Tattoo in Santa Rosa.
So I was telling Nick (the most visibly tattooed cop in NYC I suspect) that his facial tattoos are looking especially nice now that hair is growing over them and they’re looking like they’ve been there for a while, and he mentioned that TattooJoe (who has great facial tattoos himself) who did them posted a video on his YouTube page; click through to check it out if you’d like.
I’ve featured Ferdudurke here before, but I don’t think people would know because the previous photo, taken in Kiev, is quite different. This one was taken in the Moscow Metro.
SeaHorse recently had Efix (D-Markation) in Quebec City do this absolutely beautiful cutting on her thigh over a period of about three and a half hours.
You know, I think I actually have an entire gallery dedicated to “camel toe” tattoos (seriously), but this is the first “moose knuckle” tattoo I’ve seen (don’t know what that is?). This was done by Johannes at Chronic Tattoo in San Diego, California…
Yes, João does have a life outside of suspending with his friends, to prove it he sent me five videos showing off his mad scar skillz, so I used my mad video whittling skillz and came up with this..

The BME update should be posted in a couple hours (it’s nearly uploaded, much to the chagrin of Rogers Cable who’s warned me that I’m nearly through my monthly bandwidth quota of a measly 95 gig), but until then, who doesn’t love dirty German Brazilian girls?
Here’s some nice (and healing in the photo of course) hand tattooing on Bridge by the very talented Marc from Swastika Freakshop in Radolfzell, Germany (who I haven’t mentioned here in a while because he’s taking a break from the online world — lucky guy!). A photo of the other side is after the break.

iam:Godzilla Riots recently experienced an eye and lip sewing by Pierre Rogers at Lucky Monkey in Ann Arbor, Michigan, which must have been quite intense. They write,
The sewing ritual helped me come to terms with the fact that events in my life are not always within my control, and that sometimes I am subject to the uncontrollable forces of the world. After understanding and accepting my own lack of control — and that it’s okay — I realized my ability to overcome my own fears and physical pain by focusing my mind and its thoughts. Intense concentration on my mental processes, I learned, endows me with an ability through which my mental conceptions and ideas are manifested outside my mind and into the physical world — my fear and pain are not real, expressing and personifying these thoughts only hold me back. Through mental concentration I may conquer any limitations and constraints that I create and perpetuate in my life.
Many more photos continue after the break.
