..like a crappy tattoo of a tattoo machine.
So if you are or ever plan on being a tattooer and you also plan on getting a tattoo of a tattoo machine, make damn sure it is a good one like this one by Randy Polillo of Dynasty Tattoo in Newfield, NJ.
Poor Rachel has been working so diligently on the new BMEzine.com site she hasn’t had any spare moments to dig through pictures submitted from her beloved Brazilians. So on her behalf, I present to you some more gorgeous pictures from our South American friends.
These pictures are from T. Angel’s performance “Narcissus”. This was his second Kavadi experience, if your fluent in Portugese you can read about his first one here. Also, if your in Brazil and want to catch a live viewing of the Narcissus video it is playing next month at Body Pleasures.
For one more pic from this performance and his personal thank you list, keep on keeping on.
From his IAM page I got the following thank yous:
Every time I talk about spear experience I have to thank Ego Kornus, Angye, La Negra and Peco, cause they brought knowledge, inspiration and new possibilites in my life. Special thank to Dark Freak for helping me with this work.
When I first saw this picture of a microdermal in a nipple it brought me back to the days of nipple pocketing, which is a good thing because I was always fascinated by those. While the procedure for doing a micro in place of the pocketing is far less impressive, the end result is equally so.
This was done by Craig Kelley of Couture Tattoos, Canton Ohio.
Obscure song reference for a title? Check. The following feet were submitted with the subsection “musical reference” checked off but I can’t quite figure it out. Being the uncool member of BME’s staff, that doesn’t surprise me much. If anyone knows what it is, please post, I’m curious. These feet were inked at Big Deluxe in Salt Lake City, by R2. The submitter tells us, “Caramels & fudge for mom and chocolate & raspberry cake for dad.”
…I couldn’t come up with anything witty to say about this tattoo that did not include the word “horny”.
So for the sake of my editorial professionalism, I will just say these antlers were done by Zack at Uptown Tattoo in Minneapolis.
She’s a pinball wizzard.
There’s got to be a twist .
A pinball wizard.
She’s got such a supple wrist.

What better way to see if your piercing is causing tooth damage or gum recession that wearing an eyelet so you can see for yourself?
The information submitted with this pic was a bit confusing. I attempted to message Tyler on IAM, but he hasn’t gotten back to me, nor has he updated since 2008. Anyhow, this pic was just too good not to feature so I will leave the readers with the same explanation I got with it.
Probably, this picture was taken on the lecture “Don’t do it!” and illustrates the common mistake of young bodmod people: don’t put ear plugs into your lip!
Ruslan “Deform” is piercing student in Tattoo Factory studio, Moscow, Russia. Tyler teaches him how he should do piercings and how should not.
IAM member heartonsleevejewelry sent us this photo of his diamond encrusted palm. The tattoo was inked by Ben Wight of Love Hate Tattoo in Rochester, New York. I wonder how it will hold up over time.
A few days ago Cere messaged me and said, “Meg says she will do whatever suspension you tell her to, so tell her to do a 1/2 point suicide”. I thought about it for a moment, and then decided I would tell her to do a 1/2 point suspension, whatever the hell it is. I mean ,really, how could it not be a good idea if Cere recommended it?
It turns out the half point suspension, as Cere dubbed it, is when you put a hook halfway in and let the pulling from the suspension finish the piercing. I asked Cere where this idea came from and he responded:
I had it in my head for a while now as a joke. When people really started to one up each other for the sake of show they’d be like “he did a 4pt? I’m gonna do a 2pt!” and then next you’d hear “he did a 2pt? I’m gonna do a 1pt!”. It was around then that I started joking, someday, somewhere, someones gonna do a half pt. Just had no clue it’d be by me!

Meg had already done two suspensions just the day prior, yet that didn’t stop her from attempting this intense version of a one point suicide suspension. When I asked her about it, this is what she had to say:
This is a bad idea, and I wouldn’t suggest it. The feeling of the hook popping through was disgusting. There were two stages of popping- the first one was really odd, because the hook only shifted internally, and it felt so gross it made me gag a little. the second shift, when the hook actually broke through, was an audible RIP, but more than hear the sound, I felt it. Everyone else heard it though, and cringed. haha.
I swung hard on it both before it came through, and after, and the comfort level really wasn’t that different, however my confidence level was. Once it was through, Cere saw I wanted to keep going and just laughed at me.
Upon further investigation, Cere found out from Allen that a suspension of this type was performed by members of TSD way back in the day. To which Allen adds “It isnt really a good idea”.
I would like to point out that everyone involved in this suspension has been actively involved in the suspension community for years and knew the risk going into this. A suspension of this type shouldn’t be taken lightly. I can assure you neither Cere, Meg, Allen, myself, BMEzine.com nor the Surgeon General advise you attempt a suspension of this nature.
…and guess what body part this is getting nailed?
For the answer to this question and to see what happens next, keep on keeping on.
I am guessing most people guessed scrotum, because nine times out of ten when you see genital torture pics it is male parts that are being tortured. However, that is not the case here as you can now plainly see.
