    Yet another reason for me to move to the US.
    Do you ever have events like this in the UK?
    Hope it all goes well anyway.

    i really hope the bme video won’t be close up step by step procedures…. youtube is bad enough. we don’t need more hacks trying to imitate what they see via bme video of professional piercers

    Aahh, it’s the shop whose policy (as was stated in one of the BME interviews) is not to employ too modified people not to scare off the likes of Britney and Jenna Jameson, isn’t it? It’s funny that BME who claims to support all degrees of being modified are having a BME day at a place which would discriminate against big percentage of BME readers.

    Inza: Employers have the right to decide what employees they hire. Considering the staff is heavily modified, your post is clearly taking it whatever claims you’re making out of context.

    Any chance they’re doing surface piercings at a reduced price?
