Tattoo, Piercing, and Body Modification News, Events, and Culture

People always seem to like when I post pictures of modified folk and kids, so here’s Wild Skin from Buenos Aires, Argentina with his little brother. Part of me thinks the reason people like these pictures so much is that a lot of us have experienced serious damage and trauma to our family lives due to our body modification decisions, so we feel really happy to see families that prosper nonetheless?

Simon didn’t really like the “hammerhead” nipple he’d gotten after having his nipple pierced (this is not uncommon!)… So he put a 2mm o-ring over the nipple and left it on for about four hours, applying ice periodically to ease the pain. He didn’t have a scalpel (hello, BMEshop), so with the aid of a blade, off it came! Looks like it turned out for the best.
Oh, and for BME/extreme members, the nipple removal section is here.

I should probably cut back on my daily dose of Shawn O’Hare, but I thought that this cautery brand was interesting not so much because of the design (I assume it’s intended to look like a wound), but because they’ve actually had the balls to extend it across his eyelids…

OK, it’s not really “travel” because my friends Keruganja and xcecixpuentex from CSC Tattoo Shop are from Bolivia… but I like pretending that I’m on vacation when I get their photos. That said, don’t ask me what’s up with their white alpaca, I have no explanation for you.

Normally when I say that, it’s in the BME/HARD context of play piercings inside and around the anus… Here I mean it more literally… Thanks to Shawn O’Hare, the Pastor of Pain at the Pain Parlor in Oxnard, CA for yet another picture featured on ModBlog. For the record books, his girlfriend took it 101 times in the butt. Er, that came out wrong.

I don’t know if I actually do like this next tattoo or not. Part of me thinks it’s sexy (the bottom half of me I suppose) — and really, could any tattoo ruin that? — but part of me thinks it looks like she’s farting stars. I’m sorry, maybe I’m immature, but that’s what comes to mind… This was inked by James Reed at Marked For Life in Warren, MI.
Before I go — these updates came late today — let me give you three more quick tattoos. On the left are some stars within stars (maybe it’s inspired by 2001, ha, sorry, nerd joke) on Will. The middle one (the Scooby Doo tattoo) is by Ryan Zachary in Portland, OR. And finally, on the right, is a star piece (c/o IAM:London.Midnight) by Ben at Slave to the Needle in Seattle.

I really like PhaedrA‘s tattoo of a dead battery going to heaven (“expired… get it?”). This was done by Mike Tidwell at Obscurities in Dallas, Texas.
