A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • Congratulations!

    My friend Marisa (IAM:FREE) who you also know from the great tattoo couture blog Needled as well as her legal writing on BME is getting married — Vegas style — later today to another friend, the brilliant tattoo artist Daniel DiMattia at Calypso Tattoo (who also has a BME gallery).

    Best wishes to both of them and I’m sorry I couldn’t be there.

  • Flying 69

    You know you’ve been watching too much porn if all you can think about when you’re hanging by your knees like this is whether the crowd is going to notice your boner — rather than worrying whether you’re about to experience a piledriver after the hooks tear out of your knees!

    Thanks (and apologies for the dirty comments) to Kat for sending in this picture of her getting picked up by James in Des Moines, Iowa.

  • Beat that Mick Jagger!

    It was too small for me to post in the BME galleries (hopefully I hear back from them with bigger pictures), but check out this wild saline lip injection — 60cc per lip.

  • Sacred Ranch Dressing

    I’m not so sold on it, but Rachel is a fan of ranch dressing. That said, she’s definitely not as big a fan of it as this customer of long-time BME contributor Chris Govier (check out his portfolio for some nice portrait work by the way) at Dragon Ink in Swansea.

    Edit: I messed up my files somehow; this tattoo is actually by Shauncey Fury on Brandon from Across Five Aprils. My apologies to everyone affected!

  • Daddy, where do stars come from?

    Like many things enjoyed in America, stars come from Mexico, build by the blood, sweat, tears, and yes, even flesh, of the Hispanic proletariat. These photos were smuggled out by my friend Abel at the star production factory Evolution here in Mexico.
