Hey Fellas, Got a Genital Piercing? Have Some Money [UPDATED]


UPDATE: Sorry everyone, the university has been overwhelmed with responses and needs a little while to sort them out! If they’re taking more applications, we’ll let you know.

No, really, it seems that easy:

The Department of Applied Health Science at Indiana University is conducting a research study designed to collect information on men’s sexual health and genital piercings. We are looking for men who have had their genitals pierced to participate in a phone interview that will be audio-recorded. The time commitment will be approximately 45 minutes and you will receive a $25 VISA gift card for completing the interview. In order to receive the gift card a name and mailing address is required.

To be eligible for this study, you must be at least 18 years of age, speak and understand English, and have had your genitals pierced.

If you are interested in participating please e-mail us with the following information at: xxxxxxxxx

– Your first name, or name you prefer.

– A phone number where you can be reached.

– Several times over the next 5 days when you are available to talk on the phone privately.

A member of the research team will call you to discuss the study.

For questions please contact xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well well well, and here we have a stunning shot sent in by Aloewishes, with 45-degree nipple piercings by Kevin Jump at Beelistic Tattoo in Cincinnati, Ohio. Check out Aloewishes’s neat Perishable Jewelry on Etsy, and check out a bonus picture after the jump, because why the hell not?

Who Was That Masked Man?


I’m pretty confident that, as close as you may get to guessing this one, no one’s going to get it right on the nose … and no peeking at the tags, cheaters.

(That’d be Xenceval, sporting an 8 mm. Prince Albert, a few frenum piercings, and what appears to be a mustache fashioned out of black washable marker.)

Fun Times at the Baltimore Tattoo Arts Convention ’09


And so here is international playboy John Durante, hanging out at the Baltimore Tattoo Arts Convention at the end of January, and just cold skewering folks all over the place (including the lovely Tracie) as part of a performance involving, among others, Nu Ethix Suspensions. Lots of great photos from this set should be up on BME in the next day or two, but you can get a sneak preview by checking out the page of the lovely Miss Ruth Decay, who sent in the majority of these bad boys.

Always Bet on Black


This poor woman literally lost her shirt last night betting on the damned Arizona Cardinals. WHYYY? HOW DO YOU GIVE UP A 100-YARD TURNOVER? Sorry. I’m projecting. Congratulations, Pittsburgh.

Update! The lovely girl above is Chloé Ruggiero, and the photographer of this beautiful shot is Chris Blanchenot.
