It’s another one of those “I’m sorry, I just stuck it in the wrong hole… oh… that’s not so bad… do you mind if I leave it there?” moments for pillpoppinfun and his 5/8″ septum, 1/2″ nostrils, and 10mm spike.
You call that a tusk?

New BME swag
I don’t normally promote specific BMEshop products here because, well, it’s kind of tacky to blogspam your own swag, but I really like the way these last two shirts turned out. First is a redraw of the old “Dr. BME” logo by me, and we’ve put it on long-sleeves with a please-don’t-sue-us-Red-Cross arm print… As modeled by tcie (and you can click on either of them to go to their BMEshop page):
Next is the BME Aotearoa design, drawn by iam:original_sly (and prepared for printing by Jasonthe29th) to celebrate his local heritage.

Mutantes
Is it just my imagination or does Lola* have two uvulas? She really does, very cool! Piercings (not in the uvula though) by Taco Joe at Black Ink Industries in Borneo, Malaysia. As a point of trivia, about 2% of people have a bifid uvula — it’s similar to a cleft palate anatomically.

“Modified” Simpsons Tattoo
A few days ago I noticed bbirdemann‘s hilarious ball-stretcher Burns tattoo on his foot and when I went to compliment him, I saw he had a whole crazy Simpsons leg sleeve in progress by James Jorgenson at Bay Area Tattoo in Houston, Texas… all modified as well!!!

Transdermals can be trouble
An active lifestyle will probably make your life longer, but the counterpoint is that it’ll make your piercings’ and implants’ lives shorter… Tiff says that’s exactly what led to the demise of her paired transdermals — you can see how far they’d rejected in the first two shots. Tom Brazda (TomBrazda.com — he also removed my magnets) removed them for her while he was guest spotting at Eternal Ink in Sheffield, UK.
I am the squirrel of doom! Fear my power!
I’m not sure if she’s escaping to Chicago or somewhere else because I don’t recognize the orange tag so I don’t know where she’s traveling between… Anyway, you either think my caption is very clever or it makes no sense? This (still incomplete) yggdrasil tattoo is by Tattoo Jack at My ID in Pewaukee, WI. You can click for a better view of the tattoo.
