Remember this post back in March? Here’s a few more from the set (they were for a friend‘s school project) that I thought were worth showing you, for real!
As mentioned in March post, piercing by John Blow in Brussels, Belgium, photo by Jefta.

The first and last photos on the top row are Shawn Porter, kissing (as usual, he can’t keep his tongue in his pants) Jordan and leaving his sloppy seconds for Paul King. Sandwiched happily between are ASSid23 and his boy Marthy.
The next row belongs to (from left to right) Jason Hinchee when he corsetted Grace at the AM-JAM Tattoo Convention, 2008, then it’s doggy and clockorange (who sends in lots of photos, thanks!), and last but not least it’s marzia rocking a corset by Ze (the guy hogging the limelight with his dashing smile).
This set of photos from Melisa made me wonder, how would someone who died in 1886 feel about body modification and the way people choose (and are relatively free) to express themselves these days? It’s probably a rather pointless question as we’ll never know, at least not in my lifetime anyway.
Also, I’ve often thought how amazing it would to be thrown into a time totally alien to you, or to know how it feels to see a light bulb/Wii for the first time in your life! One thing I think is lacking these days is the joy of discovery, you can basically go through your entire life not having to really work anything out for yourself. Even employment comes with an instruction manual, that’s not necessarily a bad thing but there are limits..
If you need to do something invariably you will buy a product that will do it for you, if you can’t fathom out how to use what you’ve bought there are instructions, it’s all handed to us on a plate and it makes me a little sad.
Anyway sorry for rambling, my point is I’m sure people from the past would have much less trouble adapting to life in 2008 than we would if we were whisked to the 1980′s, even. We’ve got it pretty good, eh.

Sean was asked by his friend Becka for a back corset, and this gorgeous creation is what he came up with!
This arm corset might be blue but it makes me nothing but happy! It’s by Ana of Badaku Studio, Croatia..
