“The most fun ever for a school project”

Myjah’s friend Alex was taking a photography course at their local community college, and for his final project, an elective, he asked for Myjah’s help.

He gave me a call and asked if I would let him snap a couple of photos of the few mods I have. Of course, that led to him asking if I would actually consent to being pierced by him that night, and voila! My first play piercing session. I think the funniest bit about it was that he had the most stand-out subject in the class — everybody else shot pictures of their pets or houses, albeit in an artsy way. I have a feeling we had more fun with this final than the others.

Below is one of Alex’s black and white shots (“with mild boobage”), and after the break are a few more photos that were taken with Myjah’s digital camera.

Old-school Play Piercing Interview

This interview is with an individual who spent about thirty years doing play piercing on himself, without any outside influence or guidance… Because it went on in private like this, it’s quite interesting to juxtapose it with the current style of play piercing that’s much more popular. Anyway, click through to read the article, and then come back here to comment.

Ritual in a Rush

Stitch was in Atlanta and stopped by to see Max Brand (see also: play piercing from Max) at All Or Nothing Tattoo to do some play piercing (we recently posted the video)… The funny thing is that she had to catch a bus, so they had a one hour time limit from set up to clean up to get all fifty-six needles in and out.
