This would not be my advice…
Written by
Fishywoman‘s son has an ear piercing that has been growing and continues to grow a keloid. They figure that it’s growing either way, so why not let him keep the jewelry in? Anyway, it was done with a gun six years ago when he was eight… I assume surgery to remove it is being planned.
(Note: my advice would be to take out the jewelry to minimize the growth as much as possible).

Survivor BME
Written by
So… I forgot that Survivor is on today, and yes, I am a “friend of
BillJeff.” SA, you know… So I’m sorry if today’s posts seem limited or rushed in any way… Today was a long day of branding with Blair so there wasn’t much time to write. Anyway, I’m leaving you with more gorgeous photos of Eva at the Japanese seaside (because it reminds me of Survivor). Members do be sure to visit her gallery (‘Kitano’) in the bonus galleries section of BME/HARD.
And now I’m off to the PVR.

Is this man a child molester?
Written by
The next tattoo I’m planning is a rather explicit Tom of Finland-style piece on my leg. However, because I have a kid, and do occasionally go out in public, I have to talk to a lawyer about it first… If I show it in public, can I be charged? It’s not like you can walk around in public showing people gay porn. What if my daughter sees it? Could I be charged as a child abuser?
The explicit and I guess blasphemous pinup tattoo on the right was done by Jeff at Permanent Images in Ottawa. The bearer tells me that he’s gotten some grief for it in public, but I was wondering if he could actually be charged as I described above. I don’t see how it’s any different from walking around in public showing people erotica?

Heart Brand
Written by
Speaking of branding (that’s where I was today), I like this nice simple piece (well healed in this photo) by Muffe Vulnuz of CHBE in Copenhagen. While some of the scar work that’s coming out these days is truly stunning (see the entry below this!) and often quite complex, I think these simple brands are closest to my heart personally. No pun intended!

Wayde Dunn = Scalpel King
Written by
I just keep getting more and more impressed by the scar work I’m seeing from Wayde at Puncture in Maroochydore, Qld, Australia. It’s really stunning stuff. Check out this Mayan king design he did — in these photos it’s about four months old and keloiding beautifully.

I love Baawo’s look!
Written by
These great photos are by Regis Hertrich (who I’ve featured here before) of Baawo‘s facial cuttings by Samppa Von Cyborg. I think if I was making a list of top-10 “cool looking modified people” there’s a real good chance I’d have Baawo on my list.
