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.

  • Tattooed Necktie

    So back when I posted the “bowtie tattoo“, I joked about tuxedo shirt tattoos being next. I suppose that Taylor’s tie tattoo — as he puts it he’ll “never be under-dressed again” — done by Michael at Electric Body Art in Marietta, Georgia, moves us one step closer to that (which is good, because the Charlie Brown tattoo moved us one step farther away).

  • Piercing Mistakes

    Ouch and ouch…

    Mistake number one (care of Edmonton, Alberta): getting your nostril pierced with an ear piercing gun.

    Mistake number two (care of Plainfield, New Jersey): choosing a piercer with extremely bad aim to do your industrial piercing.

  • Vegan Sleeve

    Ben Pass’s amazing vegan sleeve was done by Russ Abbott at Ink and Dagger in Atlanta, Georgia. No offense to the bacon armband, but I think this is by far my favorite food-themed tattoo to date.

  • Demonic

    I’m nearly through BME’s backlog of images (everything other than submissions via IAM pages are done) — within a few days I’ll be completely caught up. Hopefully soon some remaining issues will be resolved and I will be able to start adding new features and capabilities to ModBlog and BME (to say nothing of IAM as well, which I am very much looking forward to being able to return to) and the site can move forward. A few more interesting interviews are on the way (including an amazing — and very explicit — DIY eunuch feature). Anyway, I’m off to play in the park and so on, but I’ll post more later and hopefully by the time I return an update will be done uploading and I can post that as well.

    Please note: If you submitted images via the submissions system or via email before January 21st, and you have not yet gotten a reply, please resubmit them. I believe that the majority of email submitted in October and the first two weeks of November has never made it to me.

    Until then, Morgan’s striking mountain of facial piercings.

  • Perishables

    These gorgeous plugs — on the “simpler” end of the designs she’s done — were made by Hermeone of Perishables in Philadelphia, PA.
