This (the “Gang Bang” text) was done by Ienjas at Body Design in Gent, Belgium. I’m assuming in part because of the male-female double-standard that it will not generate the same reaction as Michelle’s tattoos…
Latest Tattoo, Piercing, and Body Modification News
- 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

- 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.

Eh, I still don’t like them. I find some of the sexually oriented tattoos amusing (particularly skullfuck), but aside from that I don’t generally like the whole genre of slut/manwhore tattoos. I don’t like the cavalier attitude taht they project about sex, whether they are on men or women. I’m not saying that I’ve got some kind of crazy super, moral, holier-than-thou values going on, just that I don’t think that the idea of pursuing sex above relationships is ultimately healthy for an induvidual. …And that’s the vibe that I get from these tattoos.

# 18 [âGang Bangâ? is inherently sexist because the great majority of people (including myself) associate it with rape]
You are kidding right?
Your argument is that a word (or in this case)
a) has an inherent absolute moral value
b) that inherent value is assessed by certain peoples associations.
In regards to a) I disagree. That is a separate issue, but one that I took up in the Michelle post as well.
In regards to b) frankly I dont think that you know what inherently means.
Lastly, I note that no one has raised the issue of if he were to be sexually assaulted, what the courts would do. I found this to the most offensive element of the Michelle discussion.
#25 did assume however that this tattoo was about power, a line of argument (as factious as the one used in Michelle’s case) might suggest that if this person were every accused of a sexual offensive this would essentially equate a confession.
Shannon is correct in stating that this is an example of the double standard, in so far as the posters reactions assume that a man who displaying his sexual agency is empowered, whereas when a woman did so she was seen as automatically dis-empowered and degraded.

In no way is it fair to call this an equal match to Michelle’s tattoos. If Michelle had only a stomach rocker saying something like “stick it in” or “fuck me rotten” or whatever sexual saying she might choose it instead of an impressively extensive collection it would be closer comparison.
This guy just has more than the average amount of the commonly accepted pin-up girl and one dubious saying across his stomach. If he had statements about his sexual desires on his genitals, behind, both and pectorals that would be fair.
As it is… we’re comparing apples and oranges. I’m not condemning nor condoning either. Just putting in my two cents that I feel like the post was couched in such a way as to shame people about their comments in the Michelle forum when it isn’t even in the same league as this man’s “gang bang.”

I agree, this it nothing like Michelle’s ink.
This is a stupid tattoo (the text) as a tattoo, IMNSHO, but it doesn’t come close to the depths that hers do.
If there’s a story behind the purpose for getting it, then I’m sure he’s happy with what he got. But what now, the need for an interview with every chucklehead who gets an outrageous tattoo just so that the peanut gallery will accept it? Nah.
I promise, if I get something royally gofy as a tattoo and Shannon posts it in more than my IAM page, I’ll make sure to have the story behind it ready for the comment section. 😉

Rsco: I agree that the sexual assault part of the comments to Michelles photos were offensive. HOWEVER, despite rape-shield laws, the character of the person assaulted often comes into play, either with prosecutors that decline to prosecute because they don’t like the victims background, or through some legal back-door. While it shouldn’t matter what someone looks like, or what they do in their private life, it still often ends up getting dragged into court.
I don’t think this victi-, er, tattoo collector is likely to have that problem anyways; males are much less likely to be sexually assaulted than females. Now, if he was called into court and accused of raping someone, I’ll betcha it sure as hell would affect the outcome.
Regardless, it’s still his skin and not mine.

“Gang Bang” implies rape most of the time. I know girls who have gotten “Gang Banged”. Well, she didn’t call it that, but the guys did. What’s even worse is the fact that I know a man who paricipated an a (different) “gang bang”. He was laughing as he told us how the girl had to be rushed to the ER and ended up getting 21 stitches in her torn vagina.
