If you don’t know what Addict‘s new tattoo (by Carly Montgomery of Soul Survivors Body Art in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is about, they say you need to Google “everybody has more sex than me” (warning: link has audio).

Alright then…
And you thought the stone circle was the impressive thing to see at this Japanese (thanks Spring) observatory! Move closer after the break (that “tail” is a DIY project by the way), but as a point of trivia did you know that Japan has megalithic stone circle culture a la monuments like Stonehenge? This is a recreation of course, but ancient examples exist as well.
Ocean View Suspension
Banana (of Extigma in Copiapo, Chile) sent in this great shot of a four-point lotus suspension off an old iron bridge in Caldera overlooking the ocean, a beautiful location that reminded me of the Navio Mara suspension posted earlier this month. Nice backpiece also!
White and Black Facial Tattoo
This very street-punk looking facial tattoo done in a combination of white and black tribal ink is on a friend in Moscow, Russia.
3D Cat Face Implant
Speaking of cats, this awesome kitty-cat face implant was done by Sick at Body Tunning in São Paulo, Brasil.
Sick is a very talented carver of Teflon — with a style very suited to the creation of implants — and is also responsible for these great custom 40mm plugs — contact him directly via IAM if you’re interested in commissioning a piece.
Angel and Devil Kitties
Miss Kitty’s angel and devil cats were done by Boris of Boris Tattoo in Hungary while he was touring in London, UK. I definitely agree with her choice of devil cat (not that I don’t think cats are generally devils), and as a rule am no fan of hairless critters, be they cat or be they rat.
There’s another shot after the break.
Ear pointing healing difficulties
A few months ago Lostetrnl had both ears pointed, and you can see them above freshly sutured. Unfortunately, unlike most of the ear pointing I’ve posted here, his ears strongly resisted changing shape, and his cartilage forced itself into its original configuration as best it could and effectively “opened up”. At two months, pictured below, his ears are definitely in need of a touch-up, with the left one being especially difficult.
EDIT: I’m told that the left ear was in an accident which caused some of the sutures to rip out, allowing the ear to open even more than the right one did… Hopefully I’ll be back on IAM soon so I can do more follow-up on posts so I don’t have to insert edits!
I don’t have any reason to believe the practitioner made a mistake on how this was done, so I’m not mentioning that here, but I should say that this is an artist that’s done lots of ear pointing with great results in a vast majority — people should remember that things can always go wrong even in the best of situations!
Vasectomy Tribute Tattoo
Outside of it being a funny tattoo, on a conceptual level I like the idea of memorializing one body modification with another — Caffeine did this on a customer at Liquid in Lubbock, TX.
Hand-Tapped Samoan Tattoo Experience
Procedural photos continue after the break.
Abacrombie sent in these shots of a truly old-school tattoo experience at the home of Petelo Sula’Ape, a tattoo artist from Faleasiu, Samoa. The tattoo was done over about eight painful hours of tattooing in a single day. Several assistants helped by stretching the skin as Petelo hammered the tattoo in place using traditional tools in his open-air home — which was a good on account of all the smoking!
Post-Gender Fisting
The explicit photos continue after the break, but I thought these would be a special treat for post-gender enthusiasts — you’re looking at vaginal fisting of course, but also at an erect hormonally-enhanced clitoris… If you haven’t already read the amazing interview with Ashley (iam:endorphinrush), be sure to do that as it talks about this in more detail and is one of my all-time favorite BME interviews.
