What do you do if you’re a crazy Aussie modification artist that has leftover flesh from an earlobe reconstruction? If your name is Joeltron, you make flesh cows.
Or in this case, an earlobe doll.
I’m sure Joel will pop up with the full story behind how that ear ended up looking like it did before the reconstruction.
Joeltron, ever a fan of unusual piercings, pierced an ear that was slightly abnormal due to a birth defect. The name he gave the piercing, “ear flappy flop doodad“. It’s a technical name, with very specific anatomically correct terminology.
It seems like IAM: .Trevor. is on a roll with the ModBlog posts. Yesterday we saw a couple of his corsets, and today we’ve got an interesting little ear project involving a small surface bar.

This is certainly something you don’t see every day.

Eyeball tattooing. We’ve talked about it before when it first started to come about a few years back. Shannon did a great piece on it, as he documented the procedure that Howie did on him. It’s been well over 4 years since that article and while it is still extremely rare, we do occasionally get submissions. I just want to note that while it has been successful for some people, this is one of the riskiest procedures and can easily lead to blindness. Do not under any circumstance even attempt this without proper research and preparation, and even then you can still lose vision, and possibly the eye itself.
That all said, here’s a client of xRonix showing off his blackened sclera.
xRonix is currently working at Extreme Needle in London.
Again, don’t even think of attempting this without extensive research. If anything is off by the smallest of measurements it is possible to go blind.
Adhara is fantastic. Aside from being one of my favorite BMEGirls, her outfits always make me think that she jingles everywhere she walks.

That pun was painful to type out, so I can only imagine the groans and eyerolls I’m getting right now. Puns aside, this is a nice little helix heart put in by Zee from Cape Fear Piercing, Greenville, NC.
I have to admit, after over a decade on this site I tend to take mods that other’s would consider amazing for granted. It’s rare that I see any mods that stir up a genuine sense of awesomeness for me. This ear mod on Kira got that reaction from me.
This awesome ear mod was done by Bruno, who was one of the first practitioners I knew of to use the cut and suture method for cartilage removal. For this piece he used a custom made dermal punch and custom jewelry. The plan is for her to wear the jewelry for a few years to truly define the shape and then hopefully she can not wear any jewelry and still have the cross removal be well defined. If it turns out as well as the inner conch removal Howie cut and sutured on me a few years back, she will have an awesome ear mod for sure!
For more pics of the custom punch, and whatnot you know the deal, keep on keeping on…..
In addition to being a member of Russia’s #Leeds Suspension Team, Arseniy Andersson is an accomplished body modification artist. One year ago Arseniy pointed this young woman’s ears, and here’s how it looks today. If I’m not mistaken, at least one of the multiple piercings she has is going through the pointed area.
Twisted_box sent in these photos of her unique ear jewelry. At first glance they may appear to be simple hoops, they’re actually a single custom bar passing through several holes.
In the case of the top photo the bar is passing through 7 different piercings. It just goes to show that the ear piercing gallery can still come up with surprises after all these years.
