Best school teacher ever? I don’t know, because I never took a class under him. But coolest ex-teacher ever? Definitely. And thus he gets to stay at the top of ModBlog until I get back from Carlilse and NYC! Anyway, go say hello to Bruce over at IAM:tribalface and meet one of the most remarkable men in this community with one of the wildest look (that he had to wait until he retired to get).
Bruce Potts ROCKS!

- Held by Hooks, and Each Otherby JonathonFacilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities. Brenton and Brittany are one such example. Traveling all the way from Houston, TX, they came to the… Read more: Held by Hooks, and Each Other
- When Tongue Piercings Meet Medicineby Coin-coin le CanapinIn 2010, a German study was published involving subjects with tongue piercings. The tongue piercing was used as part of a device designed to relieve obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder affecting many individuals. Severely affected individuals may suffer from various long-term… Read more: When Tongue Piercings Meet Medicine
- Suspended, Not Silencedby JonathonThere’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
- A Nightbird’s Passageby JonathonSome stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
- Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetryby JonathonOne of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.

You’re my hero. That looks like it was painfull espically around your eyes and ears. yet soo cool. I espically like the multiple peircings but if you’re gonna stretch your lobe that much you should put the spacer in (it soesn’t look like one is in there and your right, pictures left ear looks stretched from this angle)

I have one question for you. How much did the tatooing of your head, face, and ears hurt? I am thinking about getting a tatoo. Pat and Dave will die!!! I work at a girl scout camp and all the staff are going to get tatoos at the end of the summer.

If he didnt look so damn happy with himself Id feel sorry for him- which just proves it aint how you look on the outside that counts I guess

I’ve met him a few times, very nice guy. Although…all of my coworkers were afraid him. Just goes to show you how silly people can be.

Good for him! If he’s happy, then that’s all that matters. I love his tattoo, it works for him, and he looks like a genuinely nice, happy, sweet guy. I wouldn’t want something that dramatic, but I would never judge someone who does. More power to him, and if you judge a book by it’s cover, then I feel sorry for you, and you’re gonna miss out on a lot of really cool people that way.
Oh, and PLEASE people, STFU with the “Hurr, whut about when ur 70? Ur gonna regret it….duhhh.”. I’m sure most people are aware that tattoos are pretty much permanent, and are OK with that. Just because YOU don’t understand it does not mean that you need to trot out the same tired old crap every time. Like we haven’t heard it before. Enough is enough.

Why would people consider this guy a great teacher just because he has his face tattooed?
I agree that he had to retire before he could go crazy with his tattoos.
When will people realize that tattoos don’t make anybody anything different than they are already?
I know many “uncool” people who have tattoos, and in fact, the majority of people I know who are troubled or “uncool” are tattooed.

Sorry, but I agree with comment 44. He is an idiot. If he’s concerned if 19 year old students think he’s cool because of his exterior disfigurement, he’s an even bigger idiot. And the “tribal” crap. Please, give it a friggen rest. What tribe is he from: the Fugawees? As in; who the fugawee? Sorry, Brucie, but you didn’t have a “former life” as a Tahitian. And mimicking their “body art” is more culturally insulting than respectful. And as for “warrior”, saying it doesn’t mean you’ve earned it.

Why?
Just why? There is not reason for this and it’s an insult to a culture that takes this seriously.
I just can’t condone or understand. There are statements, and then there is this, and it makes no sense.

I am one of Bruce’s neices. I have not seen him in over 10 years and I do not know when I will see him again. I know that most of my siblings have not seen him either, and my parents have only seen him a couple of times. All I can say is that I hope that he is happy with his decision to tattoon is head. I want him to know that he is always welcome to visit his family when he wants too, especially during major holidays and events. The family may not like want he has done, but we still love him.

insulting somebody always happens when there is no argument. your hate comes back to you.
which is the higher value, the personal freedom and the wish to decorate oneself or some ancient primitive culture ? the distinction has to be between something you do to your own body and something done to other bodies – forcibly. In africa they have the tradition of cutting off woman’s genitals. I have no respect for this culture, i have respect for human rights.
