Vix sends in this candid shot of Vargas at a Scottish body art show. I was thinking about it, and I’m pretty sure that I can count the number of women I know with all black arms possibly on one hand. I’m sure there are lots more but it’s really very uncommon (and very cool to see).

This inverted nipple repair and piercing must have really thrilled this client of Wizzer‘s (Body Electric, Hollywood)… Especially having nice breasts it must have felt great to have the nipples repaired simply and non-surgically using 12ga 9/16″ titanium barbells.

Speaking of modifications that tend to lean more toward one gender or another, I really think these 10mm nostrils (between 3/8″ and 7/16″) look great on Kaldir. It’s funny though — I remember it really wasn’t that long ago that 7/16″ nostrils were seen as mind-blowingly big. Now they don’t seem so strange. But I guess it was the same in the late 80s for ears. I think back then I had lobes about this size and it freaked people out enough that photos would get taken — now people barely notice even 2″ lobes.

Arcadia’s pinup girl (as in the pinup girl belonging to her, not the pinup girl that is her) was done by Tony at Divinity Tattoo in Scottsdale, Arizona.

This great shot of Hollis was taken by Jill Auville, with the corset piercings (twenty-six 7/16″ 12ga rings) being put in place by Russ McSwain of Modern Body Tattoos and Piercing in Sacramento, CA.

Oh god, oh god, oh god. Seriously, Ascenscion Suspension out of Albuquerque puts on some of the sexiest shows in suspension (and also facilitate lots of private suspensions for people as well). I might feel guilty staring, but that’s the nature of the show so I’m not apologizing for my now dried out eyes.

I mentioned in the entry above this one that Ascension Suspension does plenty of suspensions in a non-performance environment as well. Here’s a photo c/o Steve Truitt of one I really like, held October 28, 2006. I love the expression that was captured in this moment…

That’s a really nice Madison placement, but I think this is my favorite sort of landscape… Hilly, with nice big rocks jutting out of the underlying foliage.

Gala just had her friend John do her first ever play piercing session. She says she loved it, but wishes there was more blood (click through to see how little there was) — I agree… Blood is half the fun. I think the quote from Asurfael (from the long overdue Uvatiarru) goes,
“I think that blood tastes good… It’s not probably about the taste, it’s more about knowing that that’s the very substance that keeps me alive, and that I have control over it.”
