Christ Baptism Backpiece

First of all, if you’re reading this and it’s the top entry on ModBlog, the latest update on IAM is down a few entries. I’ll post another one later tonight. I’ll probably have to replace a couple components on the machine, so if you’d like to help out, please take a few pictures (if possible for BME/extreme or BME/HARD, but navels help too!) and email them to [email protected] (the online submissions forms are offline). And now back to your regularly scheduled programming…

What a wonderful photo! It sure looks like somewhere I’d rather be than here dealing with computer problems, ha! Click to take a closer look at the tattoo.

Dan Eldon Inspired Tattoo

“What is the difference between exploring and getting lost?”, from The Journey is the Destination by Dan Eldon (a photojournalist, artist, and adventurer that was killed while reporting in Somalia), tattooed at Dickmann Tattoo in Denmark. I guess if I was going to answer the question I’d say when you’re exploring, you’re seeking out something new, but when you’re lost, you’re seeking out something familiar.

Saline Breast Inflation

Pierre Black from Montreal sends in these shots of a temporary breast enlargement he did using a saline drip. These are pretty safe to do in sterile environments (as this was), but I just wanted to add (since there’s been lots of risks discussion lately) that with saline injections sterile technique is exceedingly important because if you make a mistake and drag the wrong microbes in, you bypass many of the body’s defense mechanisms and give them a very hospitable place to breed.
