This wild surface piercing project was done by Sean Dowdell and Burni at Club Tattoo in Tempe, AZ — photo by Sean Hartgrove.
Edit: These are microdermals, and are three months old and healing well in this photo.

The microdermal is the one in front of metaldready‘s tragus, done at L’Extremiste in Arnhem, The Netherlands.
This large electrocautery brand is freshly done in this photo, by Shawn O’Hare at Fillmore Tattoo and Piercing in Fillmore, CA. Visually I love the placement, but depending on the way she scars it might be hard to get it to heal evenly… (Note for the not-sharp-eyed: check out the microdermals too!).
Ryan Ouellette from PBA did these microdermals and flesh stapling on Rumiko while he was on tour in Japan. Foreheads tend to heal really well, so I imagine this will look pretty solid in the long run.
A customer of Evan‘s (Color Works in West Des Moines, IA) asked him to have the eye he had tattooed on “shine” — here comes a microdermal to the rescue! Anyway, that’s it for today (sorry), but I’ve been thinking about the ModBlog Scrapbook idea a bit more and I’d be happy to take the time to assemble it if people are interested — it would basically be a print “best of” for ModBlog since it began in August 2005.
James Wisniewski (Body Electric, Hollwood CA) did this 6mm titanium prong faced CZ microdermal recently… I think I remember someone commenting on how microdermals were interesting to them because they opened up a whole lot of body decorating options that were not available before except through procedures arguably in the “[very] minor surgery” category rather than “piercing” category like microdermals are. I suppose this helps illustrate that notion.
Hahaha, I thought her fingers were a nipple when I first glanced at the picture. Oh, wishful thinking from a sideboob lover I suppose. New school tattoo by the very talented Jay Marceau at D-Markation in Quebec City, Canada.
Anyway… Enjoy today’s update, and if you haven’t already, don’t forget to check out the recent additions to BME/News:
I think for “BME 2007″ (our 13th year!) I’m going to integrate ModBlog, QOD, BMEnews, and so on all into a single content system… There are so many different sections on BME that should be combined I think (not easy when you have to convert a massive 1995-style CMS!).
Thanks to John Durante at Laughing Buddha in Seattle for sending in this shot of a great looking set of microdermals (imagine something half way between a transdermal implant and a dermal anchor if you don’t already know the technique).
