“No, but we have Prince Albert in a jar.”
Hey, jars are versitile — even if they don’t have anything in them! Wanna know what you can do with a jar full of literally nothing? Here’s a few very NSFW vacuum jar pictures: 1 2 3 .

Two piercing videos c/o my friend Jonathan Piercing down in Venezuela. The top video is Javier doing a catheter needle-style female nipple piercing , and at the bottom is Jonathan doing a large gauge scalpelled navel piercing. Enjoy, and if you have a video you’d like me to post here, just email it to [email protected] and tell me it’s for Modblog.

Tattooed and pierced pig
Written by
No, I’m not talking about tattooed pigs like you may have read about on Needled. I’m talking about the kind of tattooed pigs that result in supermarkets no longer hiring people who they think might one day want to apprentice to tattoo or pierce. Click to zoom in by the way:

Sexy or Sekushi?
Written by
I suspect most of all because I put a major typo in the caption, writing “Canonese” instead of “Cantonese”, a lot of people have been writing in corrections on a Kanji piece currently in the BME galleries. Anyway, the wearer told me that it said “sexy in Cantonese”.
This isn’t some kanji tattoo horror story, but at the same time, the caption isn’t quite correct. What it actually says is “se-ku-shi” in Japanese Katakana, which would be the closest phonetic translation of “sexy” (so in a way, it’s sort of like speaking English with a really thick Japanese accent and pretending that you’re speaking Chinese). It pretty much does say “sexy”, just not quite in the way they thought.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who wrote in about it.

Prehispanic Mexican Body Modification
Written by
Speaking of Mexico, another gringo expat down here in the body modification world is IAM:Gorilla (who makes the gorgeous glass jewelry that BMEshop stocks). Anyway, he’s down in Oaxaca and sent some photos of Olmec pottery such as these prehispanic clay ear spools:
Here you can see some being worn in a piece of sculpture:
And finally, a sculpture of a baby in a head-shaping cradle (the cradle puts pressure on the skull, shaping it and giving it a distinctive sloped appearance).
