I’m on the video machine, so I figured I should post a couple of pending suspension videos. Here’s one of a happy suspension that Variolax did with Rites of Passage Ascension Suspension (oops) this summer.

Sorry I didn’t have a chance to post today… It’s been a busy day, and unfortunately I think tomorrow is going to be quite a busy day as well… I’ll try and squeeze in some posting if I can though. Click if you like the sort of things I blur, or click if you just can’t stop yourself. And of course if you like it so much you need more, BME/HARD is your answer!

Steven Deerwood (who got the piercings) and Jeremy “Jay” Van Wert at Body Matrix, Inc in Bemidji, MN recently did this Guiness attempt — in all they did 2,507 piercings in six hours and fifteen minutes. I’m still waiting for someone to crack the old [unofficial] Berkeley 5000 record, but two thousand five-hundred piercings in six hours is quite impressive!

Casketdreamer just got this slogan — “I never wanted to be different… I just wanted to be me” — done on her calves by Adam Burdine at Inkville in Las Vegas, NV. (See also: lots more BME tattoos)

Probably the rarest form of scarification, chemical scarification (like in Fight Club), is something that I hardly ever get to see… These are self-done by Zav in Bendigo, Australia, using masking tape to mark off and isolate the area. Four layers of paint strippers were used to eat away the skin, waiting about fifteen minutes between each application. A bit of skin would peel off with no bleeding. Pain was minimal at first but became more painful in later applications. A leathery scab (which Zav describes as similar to dried rabit skin) formed, and in the oldest photo it’s at 25 days (so I suppose this is one of the more successful scarifications of this type that I’ve seen).

Max Brand from All or Nothing in Atlanta, GA sure gets to do play piercings on a lot of gorgeous women! Lucky guy — and lucky girls too!
