These surface piercings on Melamori are by Vlad at Eurotattoo in Moscow, Russia. If I wasn’t entirely sure that this naive farmboy from smalltown Canada would probably get killed in the process, I’d love to take a swinging vacation across Eastern Europe, bringing many exotic stories (and STDs) back to North America after six months under a vodka haze.
OK, probably that’s not a good plan, for many reasons… But it would be fun up to a point.
Just kidding — Aunt Brenda is not actually pierced, but nephew Cho B is…
PS. Vertical lowbrets are a very neat piercing that I rarely see… which makes me sad, because to the best of my knowledge I’m the first person in the West to publicize having that piercing…
I’ve seen a lot of creative ways that people pose for piercing photos for BME, but I thought this one was worth posting here and might amuse and titillate.
So assuming you don’t find genital piercings to be particularly close to the borders of kink — or at least perceive the experience of having the piercing done as about as erotic as a visit to the doctor — the photo below probably won’t seem that odd to you. That is, until you look at what’s around her neck and the not-quite-a-blanket “safety blanket” she’s clutching.
Yes, this person is being pierced and tattooed at the same time. Thanks to IAM:ToxicSkin (the piercer in the photo) from Original Skin Tattoo in Belvidere, Illinois for sending in this picture.
Check out this very nice custom-jewelry daith piercing (in 16ga) by the very talented John Lopez at Slave to the Needle in Seattle. Oh, and if you don’t know about the naming of the daith piercing (pronounced “doth”), click here, because it’s an interesting story.
You know all about gag tattoos like the tattooed finger mustaches that I post semi-regularly… but how about gag piercings? Check out Desi‘s new lips, care of a play stapling on IAM:railville. Not that I’m not 100% in support of any possible prank, especially ones that involve body modification, but methinks people may have a little too much time on their hands — and that’s a good thing!
Sorry it took me so long to get back online! I’m fully wired again, broadcasting now from my new home and office in Toronto, Canada. Full steam ahead again tomorrow, but check back later tonight for a few posts to get us going.
This entry was actually supposed to be in yesterday’s update, but I’m not sure why it didn’t make it. First I wanted to apologize for not having posted enough tattoo pinup guys here yet… I haven’t been putting them aside so my queue is limited, and to be honest, guys tend to send in more closeup pictures than portraits.
I also wanted to mention that Needled has mention up of Margaret Cho’s new tattoo (which may end up being Ed Hardy’s final large tattoo). Speaking of celebrity tattoos, another tattoo blog, literally TattooBlog.org, has mention up of Lindsay Lohan‘s latest tattoo, “Breathe” (she’s asthmatic). It kind of reminds me of my own “Stay Calm” tattoo.
While I’m talking about other blogs, I noticed two new tattoo and body modification blogs just fired up recently; first there’s TatTalk, and then there’s also My Body Story, both of which are currently styled as enthusiast blogs. There’s really getting to be a remarkable daily sites out there for people to read if they’re into all this! (So I don’t leave anyone else out of this entry, there’s also A&E’s InkedBlog and the news-oriented Modified News).
And, continuing in Needled synchronicity, thanks to IAM:blackrat, AKA Lucky Diamond Rich, performance artist and the world’s most tattooed person — slightly more tattooed (or a lot more tattooed if you count all the layers) than the folks listed as most tattooed by the out-dated text in the Guinness Book of World Records. Booo to them.
Anyway, I’m moving to a new house tomorrow, so depending on time and commitments and whether my cable Internet gets hooked up, it may be an extra day before I can post again.
