I’ll post some more tattoo entries later today, but as knuckle tattoos go, I like the one that IAM:pillpoppinfun got done. You may remember Jesse from the “Have Mursi!” lip plates article. Check out his page for lots of big stretching…

Ascension Suspension Video
Written by
Steve Truitt from Ascension Suspension just emailed me their new video trailer. There’s lots of neat clips in this — tons of good looking performers with a lot of life in them, a human rotisserie, ass suspension, blood play, single hooks, tandem suspension, spinning beams, fire, and more. Great video from a great group.

Scarification Videos
Written by
Here’s a quick pair of scarification videos for you. The image quality isn’t the greatest on either of them, which is unfortunate because in each case it’s a very nice example of cutting art.

Your next teen crush
Written by
I always love getting photos from Central and South America. Here’s some photos from my friends at Cutuvi Local‘s last SusCon in Brasil… Is it bad that I like seeing pretty girls suspend? I like seeing good looking guys suspending as well — it’s not a pervert thing, honest. But on the off chance that it is for any of you, I won’t tell.
Update: It’s yumegari in the photos if you want to say hello (nicely).

Do you like broken ankles?
Written by
I’ve seen some pretty silly mistakes in the suspension community from time to time… things like substituting venetian blind cord for parachute cord (there’s quite a strength difference between the two)… So at first glance I had a chuckle when I saw this wooden suspension rig imagining the tumble as it shattered under stress:
But I was too hasty with that laugh — Peter Sheringham over at Piercing Urge X in Melbourne, Australia has done his research. This is Mountain Ash Hardwood (write one if you want one), and may well be stronger than many of the metal rigs I’ve seen in use! You’ll also see it used in bows, hammer handles, and baseball bats. Oh, and as a point of trivia, this is from the tallest flowering plant in the world, and examples have been found that are even taller than the Pacific US coast’s redwoods!

Blackwork Facial Tattoos
Written by
I just wanted to say that I really like the facial tattoo that Kaustika (who’s also from here in Mexico) had done by Nazareno Tubaro in Argentina… I’ve seen some other blackwork by Nazareno (such as the gorgeous work on the already striking La Negra) and am definitely a fan of his work and aesthetic.

Another round of that classic BME game… Just to set the ground rules, the rod you see in the photo is one piece and not an optical illusion in any way. Click to uncensor.
