This bb post about explicit vintage watches made me think of this funny pinup tattoo where the real nipple is the tattoo’s breast. Tattoo by Tattoo Magic in Southampton back in 1997.
The ring looks a little low on the (real) nipple?

Facial Floral Tattoos
I like these facial cherry blossom tattoos by Ryan Almighty at Almighty Studios in Jamestown, NY. It really amazes me though how “normal” things like this have become from where we were at ten years ago. I wonder what change we’ll see over the next decade?

Punny Tattoo
Thanks to Shauncey Fury at Three Saints Tattoo in Pensacola, FL for this. For those of you a bit slow on the word games figure-out, it’s a titty twister.
Canadian Laws
One of the nice things about Canada is that it’s perfectly legal for women to be topless in any public space where it is also legal for men. Nice because all people should have a right to show off their mods equally — so that of course also applied to BMEfest 2006. Thanks to Jezebel (who had a pretty crazy experience) for this melon photo (scarification by Blair).
Large Gauge Septum and Tongue Piercings
Thanks to Dreamsofstars for this photo of his septum and tongue, at a very large 10mm (about 000ga) and 13mm (about 1/2″) respectively.
Chest Cuttings
DIY by iam:Bot in the UK.
We are all HIV+
Because Keef has Hep C, his blood is dangerous, and yes, he tells the artists. These are by Kris Evans at Endorphinden in Iowa City, IA.
PS. My art school version of this story.
Teddybear Suicide Tattoo
This comes courtesy of the folks at Factory Ink in Kutztown, PA. I love that instead of brains and blood and guts spraying out of the back of the skull, it’s candy… so morbid, yet so cute!
