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

Tony Touch out of Infinite Art in Toledo, Ohio did the kitties on the back of Knux‘s calve tattoos. In case you haven’t noticed already, the commentary is short and sweet. Not that I’m a long winded airbag to begin with but I’m trying to have a little fun in the sun. If you’re all lucky, I’ll try and get pictures of some of the worst tourist tattoos I can find by the pool.

Dave wrote me the other day to let me know he’d redone his facial scars. Apparently they didn’t work as he’d wanted the first time. Quinten from Kalima Body Piercing Studio in Worthing, England “burnt him a little deeper for a better scar.” He also included a photo of him and John “fooling around” after the branding was complete. I hope to see these healed and I hope they work out this time. I can’t imagine it’s a procedure you want to do a third time. Practice makes perfect, I suppose.
More pictures after the jump.

I don’t know Dr. Peet and I couldn’t tell you his work from a hole in the wall but frankly, this picture terrifies me. I’m expecting this to be an outtake from the SAW movie series and he’s putting me into some kind of contraption that I’ll need to cut a key out of my own stomach to get out of before the pins erupt and my head is penetrated by steel rods at warp speed. That’s a pretty weird way of saying “wow, sweet picture” but it’s the first thing that popped into my head.
I’m going to Hawaii on Sunday for Tim Hendrick’s wedding so the next posts from me will include funny umbrellas and photos of Norm in a bathing suit on the beach. Shhh, don’t tell him because he doesn’t know I’ll be posting them! Stay tuned and thank you for your continued support of BME.

Steve Haworth sent me this photo of Joel’s resurrection suspension. You’ll notice it’s done using gilson hooks. Jorge Pozuelo took the photos and the suspension itself was done in Madrid, Spain with the A Sangre Fria suspension team. If I’m correct that means cold blood. It’s either that or some kind of alcoholic drink that I don’t know much about. Either way, pretty sick name for a suspension group but then again, everything sounds better in another language.

This is probably “old news” at this point but Gino from Durban, South Africa sent in this scan of a newspaper article from their area. It’s utterly depressing that a father, who should love his child unconditionally, killed her over her secret tongue piercing.I don’t have more news than this but I thought that it was a relevant piece to share. I hope that he spends the rest of his life in jail. The death of a child over something as temporary as a tongue piercing is a depressing sign of what anger individuals can have pent up inside.

Matthew is this mornings eyecandy. Unfortunately he’s probably only got one sucker and it’s not visible in this photo. He does have some beautiful eyes though. He didn’t tell us anything more about his work or who did it but we won’t hold it against him. One more shot after the jump.
Did I mention that my job is pretty cool?
