Herbert does an “Anti-Christo” suspension with the assistance of AlienX and Xtreme in Natal, Brasil. Oh, as I have opined many times, oh to live in Natal…
The Hanged Man

Rejection…
Yowch! Here’s a good reason not to do DIY surface piercing unless you totally know what you’re doing!
Finger Scissors
Dan‘s little inner finger tattoo of a pair of scissors (“I just really like scissors, it’s that simple”) really healed exceptionally well I think given the tough location. It was done by Gavi Snider at Sacred Art Tattoo in Corvallis, Oregon.
Sany’s New Anatomy
Be warned; this is quite graphic — please, don’t continue if you aren’t generally interested in this subject…
I don’t think it’s as tricky as one the last ones proved to be, but click through to check out Sany’s new anatomy from behind, and click the picture for a different angle.
Biomech Swallow Tattoo
I quite like Valdis’s biomechanical take on the traditional swallow design, done in Togliatty, Russia.
A Musical Thumb
The wearer of this “World’s Smallest Violin” thumb tattoo done at I Kandy in Langley, explains, “it plays the saddest songs in the world.”
Earlobes Be Gone!
As you can see in the before-and-after below, like so many people these days (seriously, I see so many people removing their stretched earlobes every day now), Pen Di’Panda decided he’d had enough. A couple more somewhat disconcerting photos of his taking a pair of scissors to his lobes continue after the break!
BME Court Jester
I love how Pjevl totally looks like a modern day jester! His current stats include 10mm nostril piercings, a 14mm medusa, and a 38mm lip plate. There’s a another shot after the break.
Ten Years of Pain – Coupon
One of my favorite books on body ritual, if not my favorite, is Havve Fjell‘s brilliant retrospective Ten Years of Pain (click the link for a review). After being unobtainable for too long, Ryan at BMEshop tells me he’s got another shipment of the book in from Norway. It’s not cheap unfortunately, but it’s worth every cent, and the good news is that if you type in the coupon code “Modblog-Loves-Norway” at checkout, it’ll knock $10 off the price.

Amazing HR Giger Sleeve
The opposite of the previous entry I think… Ivers’ great HR Giger inspired sleeve was done by Jannicke Wiese-Hansen at Let’s Buzz! Tattoo & Piercing in Bergen, Norway. Continue reading for more photos.
