It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Lionel from Out of Step, an artist working across Europe. This amazing piece was done on Kna‘s wife while Lionel was guest spotting at Temple Tatu in Brighton, UK. Be sure to click the picture to zoom in so you can see the tattoo’s crazy linework… I’m assuming that the hair’s calligraphy was done with a fairly radical custom needle configuration, almost like a custom brush. The entire tattoo took a bit under three hours to do.
I refuse to make any fruity jokes, there’s a time and a place..
You’ll understand what I mean after you’ve watched this beautiful clip of Alexandre performing a Kavadi bearing in Brazil.

[Editor’s note: we’ve added a kavadi category to ModBlog and of course there are also the kavadi photo galleries and kavadi stories, which include the story of this kavadi bearing, on BME]
I’m not sure if it’s entirely appropriate for posting here, but since I’m using ModBlog to store comments for BME/News, here we go… Don’t click if it you don’t want to read about maggots on genitals.
… much better than today’s more dominant BME story: DNS be gone! If you’re reading this, you’re hopefully past that problem now.
Err, Dearlover is so pretty (and takes such nice photos) that I have to be careful what I write here lest I embarrass myself or get myself an appointment to be beat up by her husband, ha… The new lack-of-hair-haircut looks great! 14ga labret by Timebomb, 3/4″ plugs by Paul.
CorruptedBeauty‘s play pierced corset and feathered wings (in her favorite colors) were done with the help of iam:Piersd in Bournemouth.
If I was faster, this would have been posted on St. Patrick’s day! Dug‘s four leaf clover play piercing was done by blinded_by_fire and andythebollox at Live Once Tattoo in North Bay, Ontario, Canada.
