John Durante (Laughing Buddha, Upland CA) sends in this shot of a 1″ labret being scalpelled up a little to take a nice big besote (click here if you don’t recognize that word; it’ll make sense).

I love the left sleeve of the guy doing the scalpelling
That’s some fantastic jewellery after the link.
Not a massive fan of scalpelling as it feels a bit too ‘quick-fix’ for me. Prefer the slow and ritualised process of stretching meself.
I love the jewelry in the link as well.
I love the throat tat. The labret doesn’t look like a labret at this point.
is that meant 2 be a safety pin?, anyway awesome labret. Nice tatts
#5, i think its a halo on the throat
that’s like .. big kiss in spanish 🙂
which is what they kinda look like. lol
hey dude….that’s john durante. my personal fucking piercing hero. he comes in my store a lot. i barely got my nipples done and they were rejected. but i want to get more done. john durante is a “G”
Pray tell what is a “G” in relation to piecing?
genius dude. straight genius.
jesus before i read it i thought that was teh back of his head 🙁
Cool… To Noah, cheers bro, thank you!!! In response to the cutting, his stretched besote (which once WAS a labret) was putting too much pressure upwards twords his lip, and had usefull tissue below, as well he wants to fully turn it over, and then do the Philtrum as well… He will be a sexy duck!!!
Nice, I’d like to see the finished product.
