Open Wide
A black sun tattoo for where the sun don’t shine… by Agroaal, Azpeitia, Spain. Click through if you want to see how brave the wearer has been so far in terms of bringing the blackwork closer to full depth.
Serious British Soccer Fan!
My old friend Jerry took this shot at the recent March 2007 Peterlee Tattoo Convention of a guy who takes his football seriously enough to make it a part of his face.
Body Hacking Talk
For those that didn’t see the links on boingboing yesterday, Quinn posted her slides from the talk, and there’s also a video of it that you can watch. The slides are probably old news for anyone that’s been around BME for a while, but the video of the talk is very interesting and while it covers functional modification (Quinn also has magnetic implants), I found her comments on cutting and other things in that realm very insightful.
Kavadi Interview

Siamese Twins
Audra (Z-Edge Piercing, Sarasota FL) sends in this play piercing that she did at Marked For Life 2007… I like the shot from the back, but the front shot captured an unfortunately sad looking facial expression.
