I think this “zipperback” tattoo is a neat idea (my only nitpick is that I don’t think the spinal anatomy is quite right) — it was done by Ron Stoolfire at Munkehed Tatu in Newark, Ohio. Design-wise it could be continued down the arms I suppose and flow into another piece quite nicely on a design sense…

This cutting on Michele (which I thought kind of resembled my forehead tattoo, which is probably why I liked it) is based one that one of the characters in the the Karl Persson painting “Ascending” (about the middle of the bottom row in his gallery as I write this) has, and was cut by Ighlif at Happy Family in Torino, Italy. While people have been doing beautiful work with high detail scarification, personally I prefer these very simple geometric designs, and think they also have the best chance of looking good for life.

Paula had her crop circles cut by the prolific Wayde Dunn in Melbourne. The before/after is after the break (but really, I’m posting it for this first photo).

Some healthier nipple piercings to make up for the mangled one in the entry below? Pam had Le Satyr do a BME promo body painting (which pretty much guarantees her a post, and not just because I don’t have to go to the effort of tagging the images myself) while showing off her nipple piercings by Alex at Cracheur D’Encre in Montreal. A second photo follows after the break.

…if not his placement. I’m always surprised at just how long people keep piercings that are going wrong. I suspect that in the time it took me to get this image posted, this reader from China has already lost his nipple piercing — I’m actually amazed it’s holding at all with that big ring and that tiny strip of flesh.
