These beautiful sleeves enjoying the beach are by Vincent Hocquet at Beautiful Freak in St. Idesbald, Belgium. Anyway, I hope today’s updates are alright — I think I’m on day five of basically no sleep, and yesterday my doctor upped a bunch of stuff to try and help me sleep, but all it’s done so far is make me feel dopey during the day, ha… grr… I’d much rather be hanging out on the beach with this guy.
This was done by Tina V at Red Sky Studio in Tucson, AZ. If a tattooed teardrop means you killed someone in prison (or something like that), I wonder what a bling teardrop means…
And I do love getting high…
I realized that I haven’t posted a play piercing photo in a while, so when we got this photo from one of my favorite play piercers (ennui zero — I’m a sucker for her photos: 1 2 3 4) I agreed that it ought to be posted. She tells me she was being a baby that night and just did a few 25 gauge needles but I still like the photo.
PS. It’s covered in this photo but she has a really great lower lip bling that you can check out on her page.
As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin’ my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs
A summer’s disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man’s soul
They follow each other on the wind ya’ know
‘Cause they got nowhere to go
That’s why I want you to know
Tattoos by Sam Parker at Graveside Tattooing in Atlanta on biochemistry student Hollywood Johnstone (brains and brawn, girls).
Because this is such an unusual piercing, the vertical nasal tip piercing has a myriad of names all over the world. In Rancagua, Chile (where this was done by Zham at Peke House), it’s being called a “rhino”. Piercings like this (along with septrils and other unusual nose piercings) are in the nose related piercings gallery on BME.
I just realized that think I’ve seen this guy around town (his IP address implies that he lives just down the street from me). Next time I will have an excuse to say hello!
Sorry for not posting over the past “few” days. Let’s see if I can manage more than today’s sporadic post this week… This tattoo is by Sandi C, currently at Twisted Sol in Denver, Colorado.

From Geshem, a pair of young girls in northern Thailand with stretched lobes (and a kid in the background perhaps fantasizing about a facial tattoo!).
