I think that La_exotique needs to stretch up from 16ga — that’s too small for a nipple piercing — but I sure won’t complain when people scrawl “BME” on their boobs and send me a photo. It rarely disappoints.

Pierced Together
Memorial Suspension
This photo is from a memorial suspension done last November with his father’s ashes. The suspension was facilitated by Steve Truitt and Ascension Suspension Team out of Albuquerque.
“Words create lies. Pain can be trusted.”
I’ll tell you something that can be trusted about me, and it won’t even be painful (this photo just reminded me). My favorite thing about drag performers is giant fake eyelashes. I just can’t get enough of them. Anyway…
DIY Skin Peel
I like this DIY skin removal gallery, done by David Hoffman at Ink Gallery in Tennesee. The thing that struck me, outside of it being a nice photo, was that I can’t wait until I have noticeable wrinkles and lines in my face. It can add so much more character to a person’s face.

Forehead implants
I know that people have asked me to not post too many videos, and I’m trying to keep them fairly low in the mix, but I thought I’d also share with you this clip from Monkys Body Mods in La Serena, Chile of him doing a pair of central forehead implants at his studio/clinic.

Post more guys!
Maybe I’ve been a bit heavy in the BMEgirls department and haven’t been posting enough guys. I think if I come out of the closet (dubius) as some people have suggested (falsely) is happening in January, at least you can probably make an educated guess as to what sort of look I’d hit on. Thanks to Neil Suarez for letting me steal a couple of pictures off his page.
(Tiger tattoo by Chris from Ink Wizard).
What I wake up to every morning
I’m talking about waking up to the realization that I’m lying on the floor, wearing only a hat. Sadly, I am not talking about the realization that I’m lying next to a pretty girl with great tattoos, ha.
Thanks again to Esotericus for the photo (tattoo by Brett Osborne who was at the time at PURE in Brooklyn, NY). See you all tomorrow with real posts and a BME update.
“This too shall pass” tattoo
Tattoo (in progress) on pretty_pantyhead by Scott Campbell at Dragon FX in Edmonton, Alberta. You know, for such a heavy slogan implying tough times, she sure looks cheerful. I like the sort of late-sixties album cover lettering/font quite a lot.
