Thanks to Lefrog for this shot of Namesofthedead‘s 8-point static suspension by House of Wah and Constant Elevation. It’s interesting — finally after about three decades, rigging techniques pioneered by Stelarc and honed by groups like TSD are finally becoming more common. Not that there’s anything wrong with a simple back suspension, and I think for most people that’s the better way to go — but for art’s sake, I just love this style of rigging.

If you like the look of what you see (bloody sounding and cutting), click on through for a more revealing shot care of my friend Pigdaddy. If you like that, you’ll probably also like the equally bloody Hornet (click for a picture of his latest series which will be posted in his bonus gallery on BME/HARD tomorrow).
I quite like this little ram horn tattoo behind the ears… This was done by Stephan at LoveDog in Santa Cruz, CA.

Thanks to Sean Dowdell at Club Tattoo in Mesa, AZ for sharing these pictures from a recent photoshoot. There are more in this week’s BME piercing update (they’re not posted yet; they’ll go up probably on Thursday).
Other than that, I’m back in single-father mode so I may have to switch to posting every second day or posting a little less here because I have less spare time. Sorry! But don’t worry, Lane and other contributors have got things ready to go as well.
Janine, Andshewas, Fancy Heart, and Marysparks:
Thanks to Tampon for sending in this funny photo from a shoot that Matt Larkin was doing with Dreadedfate for his wet plate photo book. Suspension c/o Rites of Passage‘s MA chapter. Click the picture for a wider shot by the way.
