After reading BME for well over a decade, Sean got these great BME-logo inspired (look again if you don’t see it) Dia de los Muertos skulls by Phil Colvin at Memorial Tattoo in Atlanta, Georgia.

Morgan at Freak’s Lab Body Kustom in Lyon, France did the corset piercings in this corseted photo, with the photo being taken by Oz. Another, bigger photo, is after the break.

Hobosteve (previously: measure of a man) has odd piercings to match his odd tattoos, with this highly unusual “oral-nasal” piercing that goes from inside his nose to under his lip, like a “highbret” or something. It was done for him by Steve at Somatic in Long Beach.

I see this porn tattoo as being analogous to Cere’s genital tattoo — a warning. This one was done by Evan at Twisted Visions in Clementon, NJ. Previously on this theme: spread-eagle reclining nude, vulveriffic tattoo, gay CBT porn, and a black-and-grey porn sleeve.

Steve took this photo at the recent Detroit Motor City tattoo convention… The placement of the hand tattoo and the way it’s looking in relation to the photographer is perfect (great work too).

Well, that’s one way to make it longer…
PS. This is from the excellent “SEXNAR” bonus gallery that goes up tomorrow.

One of the reasons that ear scalpeling first started getting done, is that when someone has their lobes pierced as a baby, it can grow up to be sitting quite low on the lobe both because it’s harder to do perfect placement on a tiny lobe and because the ear changes a little as it grows. As well as the issue of placement, there’s also the issue of consent — is it morally acceptable to modify someone else’s body without their permission, be it circumcision, piercing baby ears, or even coming of age tattooing and ritual ceremonies?
Then there’s also the counter-concern that many professionals face of “well, if I don’t do it, they’ll just go to the mall and have it done badly”… Personally I fall on the “don’t do it” side of the fence, but I can definitely understand why someone would come to the other conclusion. For example, Karla “Pinky” Grimes at No Regrets in Champaign, IL pierced the five week old baby on the left, and the little fellow on the right was done by Tarzan at Edu Tattoo Studio in Rio de Janeiro.
