And so here we have Nadine from Visavajara in Nürnberg, Germany, posing with Rick Nielsen a friend at an undisclosed location in Europe. Germany? Switzerland? Atlantis? Nobody knows.

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.

This photo comes to us via one of the talented folks at a Cleveland-area art school (I think), and was taken during the Iditarod, probably. Really though, it’s nice to see a sort-of funny shot executed with thoughtful composition. This works well.

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.

Well, look at this gent, with his ears being blown this way and that! Where could he be, hmm? A wind tunnel, perhaps? Or the top of a mountain? No, wait, that blue is the ocean. He is falling into the ocean. From space? Probably.

This poor woman was among the innocent bystanders in the vicious Smurf attack on which we reported earlier. How does a person recover after being sprayed with the plasma of lovable cartoon character? Can you see how clearly distraught she is? Truly devastating. Luckily, she appears to be in the shower, which should certainly make us feel better. Err, which should make her feel better. Right. That’s it.

Sigh.
(6 mm. nostrils, microdermals, 16 mm. lip plate, 38 mm. earlobes and 8 mm. flats, at least some which were done by Petr and Tattoo Angel Studio in Moscow, Russia. Oh, and it’s Hack!)

Well here is a nice young lady, goes by the name of Brittany, and likes to wear, hmm, giant live snails in her ears? Hey, we won’t hold it against her. They look comfortable.
(Yes, I know they’re not snails. Septum piercing by Shawn Taylor at Evolution Body Piercing in Albuquerque, New Mexico.)

See? Accessorizing! Richard here could have gone with titanium or glass in his septum piercing (which he pierced and stretched himself), but he went with a nice wood piece (“20 mm.,” Richard says, “and still not big enough!”) that nicely complements those long locks and mountain-man beard. Well done.
Hey, it’s Monique at DisneyLand! “About to go on Dumbo,” she says. If only it were always that simple.
