This is pretty fantastic: Turns out, a little while ago, Micah (intentionally) snipped one lobe and fit it with some prostheses of his own design. This fancy little number fits in the lobe like normal and then is held in place by what appears to be a leather strap or perhaps some industrial hockey tape, which is then secured to posts in the lobe. He’s currently at 1.5 inches and has literally nothing standing in his way; ingenuity, thy name is Micah.
And so goes our week, gentle ModBloggers. What happened this time around?
– We had this intricate cutting courtesy of Brendan.
– A beautiful story here about a young man who died before he was able to get tattooed.
– This is why you don’t buy used iPods.
– Anders never ceases to impress with his incredible scarification work.
– Meghan McCain is going to be trawling for ass at a tattoo convention near you.
And that’s it! We’ll be by over the next couple days, then come Monday, we gas things back up and get back to our full crushing power. Until then, enjoy the weekend, stay safe and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME.

I love this. I feel for the loss of your lobe, but I can’t say I’m not glad or else I wouldn’t have seen this on my screen. Its just plain awesome.
Way late to the party, went back through the archives for fun and found this.
I love the idea, as it provides another option for dealing with stretched lobes that have been damaged.
Now for the comments: the negative reactions are surprising, considering what this blog is dedicated to and about, but it’s clear what is causing it. A bunch of children afraid that outsiders will take away what makes them special and unique by creating a “shortcut”. In what way is this cheating? Does it invalidate a single thing you have done? The “purpose” to and behind stretching lobes cannot be defeated because it does not exist. Everyone has their reason, and nothing anyone else does can defeat it or change it in any way.
