Guess What?

This is a good one.  Not only is it going to be hard for you to guess, it’s also going to be something you may not have seen before, or at least haven’t seen in a long time.

Sorry for the blurriness.  I had to crop it small and blow it up, otherwise it would have given it away.

Think you know what it is?  Read on to see if you’re right.

Ok, before I put up the photo, here’s the obligatory warning;  Don’t do this.  It’s incredibly dangerous and possibly crippling.  The risks involved are astronomical, and can easily result in any number of serious and permanent injuries if attempted.  Alright, with that said, let’s take a look at a stretched achilles piercing.

They’re currently at 16mm, according to Daniel lovesmilk rutt, who sent them in, however he didn’t include any other information, such as how long they’ve been in place.  However, seeing as how they’ve been stretched up to 16mm indicated they’re something he’s had for a significant amount of time.

Given how controversial these piercings have been in the past, please try to keep the comments civil.

Heptagonally Scarring

Hexagons, octagons, these are the shapes that we see quite a bit, now heptagons, that’s an entirely different category.  Technically this is a heptagram, but you get the idea.  Given the positioning of this scar, as well as the contrast between the big removal, and small pieces, it’ll be interesting to see how this heals up.

Race for BMEGirls!

One of our favorite BMEGirls, Nexizydrate, is back with a brand new photoshoot for a good cause.  If you recall, Nexi did a play piercing shoot a few years back to raise money for cancer research.  Well this year she’s going to be participating in the Cancer Research UK’s “Race for Life”, and to mark the occasion she had some photos taken of the outfit she’ll be racing in.

If you’d like to sponsor Nexizydrate on her run, you can do so right here.  Here’s what she has to say about the race:

Hello ALL!!

Last year i physically couldn’t do the Race for Life, however this year i am bouncing back and looking to walk 10K; we will see on the day how my Fibromyalgia lets me – however i will no matter what be doing the 5k.

anyway…. enough babbling….I’ll cut to the chase.

I NEED SPONSORSHIP!!

I have set up a just giving page at: http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/lunaeklipse

so it’s really easy to donate and completely secure!!

I’m aiming to raise £100, doesn’t sound like a lot but it will go a long way to help scientists and doctors in their endeavours to help those with cancer; we are all effected in one way or another by “the big C” either from knowing first hand what it is like to hear those horrible words, or by knowing someone who has had Cancer. These days however it’s not the death sentence it used to be, and the stigma that was once attached as long since gone.

i want you guys to help me raise the £100 and maybe even more! I will be all dressed up on the day in Pink (me….in pink….) and sparkles and glitter and all sorts of fun things so it’s not like I’m not going head long into this – I’m really going for it!

I’m not asking for a huge sum of money from you all, just a small donation of £2 would make a HUGE difference.

Thank you in advance.

Race day is Sunday May 13th at 11AM

You can see more photos from the Peter Whitney shoot in the BMEGirls gallery.

Guess What?

Last week’s Guess What? had women clutching their chests in sympathy pains, and rightly so.  This week I’ve picked something a little less painful, and definitely not as bloody.

You know what to do, take a guess and read on to see if you’re right.

I’m going to call it right now.  Not a single person guessed this right (not counting those who had seen it in the galleries already.  So here’s the break down:  he’s got an apadravya, ampallang, a prince’s wand, and a pair of dydoes.  To give you a better idea, here’s the side view.

Like I said.  There’s no way anyone could have guessed that.

BMEtv – Tony Ranger

Today’s interview is with tattoo artist Tony Ranger at Skin FX Tattoos. Tony explains how a simple trip to his local tattoo shop got him a once in a lifetime apprentice with Paul Braniff. Tony also discusses the way the industry has changed in the last several years and how tattoo related TV shows actually helped his motivation

Guess What?

Alright, I’ll admit, the last Guess What? was really easy.  This one, not so much.  Unless I’m lying, in which case it could be really easy.

Think you’ve got an idea of what you’re seeing?  Take a guess and read on to see if you’re right.

Why it’s some good old fashioned deep skewering!  Thanks to Birgit for sending in the photos.  Remember folks, the guys aren’t the only ones who can have fun with big long needles.
