Negative-space bunnies on a black leg sleeve
You know that I’m a big fan of Lionel‘s tattooing, so I was very pleased to hear that he may make it to New York this December — if you want to get work from him while he’s in the United States, drop him a line via his website. Either way, enjoy the bunny sleeve.

ModCon is taking place the week before BMEfest. Procedures are being done at various locations, and on the final day (June 29th) is the main get-together which is a combination of social day, presentations, and reviewing procedures both in person and on video to discuss how they went, what they are, issues involved, and so on.

Pre-BMEfest Hooker School
Big News! To coincide with upcoming BME Toronto events: BMEfest 2007 and MODPROM 2, BME will also be hosting a small private suspension seminar class for body art professionals only. The class will be led and taught by Allen Falkner (suspension.org/TSD) and assisted by some of the most well trained professional suspension practitioners in the world. Confirmed teaching assistants are Emrys Yetz, Jill Allen, Jon Pett and Jason Shaw with possibly more to be announced.
The Suspension School Seminar is a rare opportunity for piercers to further raise their skill level and become a strong and active part of almost any suspension team/event. Due to the nature of the class and that we only have one day to present the seminar emphasis will be placed on safety as well as the practical discipline and mechanical practice behind how body suspension works as well as an important lecture on the history of modern body suspension.
This is an intermediate/advanced level course, so it’s primarily intended for piercers and people who already have a solid and practical understanding of skin, contamination control, and so on (no suspension-specific experience is needed) but you must already be able to demonstrate a professional understanding of bloodborne pathogens & the principles of infection control.
To ensure that everyone has a complete hands on experience the class is kept small, only be 15 student spots are available. There is a charge to attend the seminar approx $200 CAD to cover costs (like supplies, space rental and flying up the instructors!). There will be a few scholarship spots available to apply for as well so don’t stress it if you don’t have any money*, we want to help you out.
If you’d like to come to learn, please sign the RSVP on the Events page and we will contact you as soon as registration opens up. The class will also require a few suspension “test subjects” for the students to work on, if you would like to apply for this please email me** and I will reply with an application form, there are No Guarantees you will be selected.
And finally lets all remember that “Rome Was Not Built In A Day” and as professionals you all did not learn to pierce overnight. It is our goal with the seminar is to educate and empower you further as body art professionals. This class will not certify anyone to be a solo suspension practitioner but more a really strong addition to any professional suspension team where you will further gain experience and confidence in your practice.
We are actively looking for sponsors for the event if you have something you can offer offer please contact me for our sponsors wish list.
If you have any questions please email me at [email protected]
*Scholarship application requests may be forwarded to [email protected] with the email title “scholarship application request”. You will then be sent the application to fill out and reply by June 1, 2007, no later!
**Student Test Subjects or guinea pig application requests can be emailed to [email protected] with the subject tittle “Student Test Subject”.
There will be 10-15 student spots, and there will be some opportunity for others to suspend as well (but this is not a SusCon — it’s a teaching event). There will be a charge to cover costs (like flying up the instructors!), but there will be scholarships as well so don’t stress it if you don’t have any money. If you’d like to come to learn, please sign the RSVP list and let us know what you’d like to learn in the course so we can taylor it to everyone’s needs.
