Here’s Alexis suspending with the First Class trains on Platform 1 with Diddy and Delta9 (South Coast Suspensions, UK). I love guerilla suspension! You may remember them from their lightpole suspension, and other guerilla suspensions have been featured in the past here as well — off a tank, in Las Vegas, off a bridge (or something), and lots more in various BME galleries (and there’s even guerilla aftercare).
I can’t decide if this dog scarification by John Joyce (see also: John Joyce scar gallery on BME) is sweet or creepy — either way it’s very well done. I imagine over the next few years it will go through a number of different looks, perhaps eventually being tattooed to accentuate it when it ages completely. I still think that scar-tattoo fusion is going to being a very important artform.
…for those of you who were wondering what that is. DIY scarification (the peace sign being a brand) by Simone Isonme. If you’re an IAM member, visit her page for lots more pictures (and a pretty funny photo of her boyfriend’s morning wood).
Maxwell Brand (seen here a couple times before) writes of his tattoo based on a ModBlog feature from June 5th, 2006 (a difficult choice due to the blown out lighting and unusual proportions),
“My friend Sean Herman of All or Nothing Tattoo was going to tattoo me, but I hadn’t come up with something to get. I flipped through pages of ModBlog pics until I found this gorgeous girl. Then, Sean tattooed her on me. So, it should probably be a ModBlog feature itself…. haha.”
Maxwell, I agree entirely that I need to post this. I love meta-references and meta-jokes, so this is definitely getting modblogged! I wonder what BreedTheCancer (the person whose portrait makes up the tattoo) will think when she finds out (assuming she doesn’t know already) about the tattoo — and being featured a second time in this unusual way.
Such a pretty piercing — like a beauty mark for the lip. And Barbara is so pretty already! In this photo the piercing is about a month old, done with a 1.6mm (14ga) stud with a 4mm bead by Hetty at Bodydesign in Ghent, Belgium.
This photo sure makes me miss my last two New Years*, both spent in Mexico (since I was living at the bottom of the Baja in La Paz back then). These are from Fireblood, Chris Glunt, and Outer Limits Tattoo.
* this entry was originally scheduled for 2007/01/01.
I recently asked on my IAM page who people felt the best piercer in their area was (if you’re an IAM member, you can still take part in that poll by clicking here). In Scotland, LittleJohn from Metalurgey in Dundee was a name that kept coming up. Still, I don’t think I’m going to be asking him for an anal piercing… I’m sure he’d do a fine job, but it’s just not my thing.
I can guess what AnAngelScreams‘s passion is (it even has an IAM forum) — as tattooed by Erich Foster at Rise Above Tattoos in Buffalo, NY…

A while back I posted a photo from Geshem of a cute little girl in Thailand with stretched ears (and her brother who’d drawn on his face) and there was some discussion about cultural context and so on. Anyway, I thought it might be nice to put the photo into a family context as well.
This very unusual upper horizontal lip piercing is a DIY experiment by Flash at home in Moscow, Russia.
