Thanks to Nickk Leading (“inspired by Alec B.”) at Perforations in San Diego, CA for sending in this neat shot of a piece of clothing held in place using a set of 16ga surface piercings. Along these lines, some of the early SintheteX clothing designed by Jesse Jarrell was held in place via piercings.

I really love this photo of Skatuaba and Perola doing a play piercing scene down in Sao Paulo, Brasil. Unless I’m missing something, he’s taken the easy way out — tape doesn’t cut it… Is this part of the conspiracy that always gives women the tougher role in life? I don’t know, but I love the smile.

Thanks to Cliff at Zebra Tattooz in Streetsboro, OH for sending in this tattoo he did. I’m not sure what the actual story behind it is, but is it bad that all I can think of is Professor Farnsworth on Futurama when I see it?

Can my trip to Belarus and Russia include a stopover in Australia? Aww, who am I kidding with these unrequited fantasies? It’s mostly just me rambling. In any case, thanks to IAM:miss calamity slayed for this shot. Lots more great fashion shots on her page.

These song lyrics (I think?) were done by Shauncey Fury at Bombshell Tattoos in Pensacola, FL. “We couldn’t find any swing sets, so we just drove all night, listening to mix tapes” — if anyone knows the source, feel free to post it in the comment forum.
Meh, what’s wrong with me, posting tattoos that remind me that I’m alone on Valentines Day?

These surface piercings on Melamori are by Vlad at Eurotattoo in Moscow, Russia. If I wasn’t entirely sure that this naive farmboy from smalltown Canada would probably get killed in the process, I’d love to take a swinging vacation across Eastern Europe, bringing many exotic stories (and STDs) back to North America after six months under a vodka haze.
OK, probably that’s not a good plan, for many reasons… But it would be fun up to a point.

Thanks to Larry Brogan at Tattoo City in Lockport, IL for sending in this labially well endowed pinup tattoo. I get a chuckle out of imagining the client explaining what he wanted to Larry.

Hey, if you’re a hardcore smoker, I guess it’s not that unreasonable to take a break and smoke while you’re suspending*. Thanks to el Verno at Holy Mackerel in St. Paul, MN for sending in this photo of Sprout taking a puff while hung.
* I’ve got a great photo that I should post some time of my old friend Martini suspending with a beer in one hand, a slice of pizza in the other, and a smoke in his mouth — and it’s just a casual snapshot, not a posed photo.

Is anyone reading this a politician? Or at least a lobbyist? Because I’d like to propose a new law that states that all “you can’t go topless” rules be null and void if nipple tattoos are in play. Thanks to one of the many sexy Austrians on BME, Christiana, for sending this our way.

Thanks to my friend tan0k from Moscow, Russia for sending me these play piercing photos (by Alex and n00kie)… Oh, but don’t ask me about the Russian bootleg Dr. BME shirt, because I’m not so sure that I have warm feelings about that particular aspect!
