About a year and a half ago Ubergeekgawdess had Tantan (at Infinite, Philadelphia) do the cutting that you can see healed on the left. Just now, on the right, Joy Rumore (at Venus, NYC) has added tattooing to augment the scar as it matures.
This nice portrait of Kleptesvirgo was taken by Kelly MacDonald (her Ani DiFranco – slash – Theodore Roethke inspired chestpiece is by Seth Wood at Daredevil in NYC). Oh, and by the way — happy birthday!
Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay:
I’m martyr to a motion not my own;
What’s freedom for? To know eternity.

Melissa says she was just “playing around” here (as well as saying, “ouch, I did not make good decision”, haha), so I won’t worry about how a silicone plug would do in a fresh piercing, but I have to admit that seeing this, if I was going to get a handweb piercing again (it was one of my first piercings), I’d consider a punched one with a titanium plug (no ring though for me). It looks pretty neat…

Tatjanaturtle is (among other things) a designer, thus her great new “CADD GIRL” tattoo (computer-aided design and drafting)… This is one of my favorite “nerdy tattoos” to date I think, probably because I took so many years of drafting and architechture classes!
