RIP, Matt

Posted on June 12, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

I am very sad to report that Matt Luvpain (July 24, 1976 – June 11, 2007) passed away in his sleep on Monday from natural causes, and attempts to resuscitate him failed. Matt was a friend, an extremely modified individual who was one of BME’s most prolific contributors, and one of the Eunuch Archive moderators. This comes as a very unpleasant and upsetting surprise to myself and the multitude of people he touched. Matt will be greatly missed by his many friends and family.

I really like how very happy Sonia seems about her chestpiece that’s in progress (this photo is from the day after the second session — click through for a shot of the work being done) by Mike Cole at Anatomical Art in Moreno Valley, CA.

Inner Lip Skull Tattoo

Staff sends in this sort of amusing shot (well I found it amusing anyway) of a skull inner lip tattoo done by Tony at Whitedragon Tattoo and Piercing Studios in Stockport, UK.

Squiggles sure is strong! And what a great tattoo she’s getting by Jason Maybruck at Darkwave in Roxbury, MA (you may remember that it was posted in a much earlier state in January).

I looooove Cerah‘s triceratops chestpiece tattoo, in progress by Mark Lankin at Funhouse Tattoo in Vancouver, BC. This picture was taken after the second session.

The Tattooist Movie Trailer

This bodyart-themed film project starring Jason Behr seems to be much farther along than The Body Piercer. In theory this gets released, at least in New Zealand, in August 2007.

Mink‘s big tattooed wings are exposed at the beach — they were done by Richard Morisette at Planet Ink in Ottawa, Canada.

“Just for fun”

They’re surface bars, but I have to admit that the first thing that comes to mind is backyard-wrestling where someone gets tossed onto a bed of thumbtacks!
