This time I’ll get his name right!

Let me make up for linking DerKaiser wrong last time by posting this great photo of a 22ga neck play piercing he recently did in Germany. That reminds me, I’ve slowly started speaking German to Nefarious (my daughter) because right now she’s a total sponge for language and I only have to say something once for her to pick it up. Four languages seems like a good number.

“I am the high you can’t sustain”

And I do love getting high…

I realized that I haven’t posted a play piercing photo in a while, so when we got this photo from one of my favorite play piercers (ennui zero — I’m a sucker for her photos: 1 2 3 4) I agreed that it ought to be posted. She tells me she was being a baby that night and just did a few 25 gauge needles but I still like the photo.

PS. It’s covered in this photo but she has a really great lower lip bling that you can check out on her page.

Gala just had her friend John do her first ever play piercing session. She says she loved it, but wishes there was more blood (click through to see how little there was) — I agree… Blood is half the fun. I think the quote from Asurfael (from the long overdue Uvatiarru) goes,

“I think that blood tastes good… It’s not probably about the taste, it’s more about knowing that that’s the very substance that keeps me alive, and that I have control over it.”

World Record Piercing Attempt

Steven Deerwood (who got the piercings) and Jeremy “Jay” Van Wert at Body Matrix, Inc in Bemidji, MN recently did this Guiness attempt — in all they did 2,507 piercings in six hours and fifteen minutes. I’m still waiting for someone to crack the old [unofficial] Berkeley 5000 record, but two thousand five-hundred piercings in six hours is quite impressive!
