Check out this soon to be semi-permanent corset by Chris Saint. Now before you get all mad because it’s not perfectly symmetrical, he did that on purpose so when it comes time to string it up, it’ll be aligned with the curves of her body.

In the words of the great Nigel Tufnel, “Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it?”
Judging by the amount of artillery this guy is packing, it’s pretty obvious Michael Kozlenko intended him to go to eleven.
And here’s a look at the sides of this piece:

Not because something is dying, but because there was a whole lot of burnt flesh lying around after this branding. Here’s what Brian had to say..
3 hour branding session on my buddy Joe, the toughest person I know. Who else can have full conversations and text message while getting drawn on with electricity without flinching? Having to continually stop to clean ink and blood off the ESU tip was the only thing that slowed me down. Thanks to Lalo Yunda for help with the drawing.

IAM: Spiritual_Paladin had his ears cropped yesterday, resulting in a pretty unique look. Unfortunately he didn’t include who the artist was, so hopefully he’ll comment so I can give proper credit.
To see more photos of his ears, including the other side, head on over to the cartilage removal and reshaping gallery.

Frida Freak to be specific. From what I gather she’s a musician, writer, artist, and performer from Russia, and she’s nice enough to contribute some photos to BME.

We’ve got some big news about the BMEShop today! The t-shirt printer is working again, which means that the BMEShop is now back in stock with over 75 designs. On top of that, expect to see over 100 more added in the coming weeks!
Here’s some of the ones that are now back in stock:
The list goes on and on, so head on over to the apparel gallery to see them all!
Because there have been so many designs in the past, getting them all ready to be printed is going to take some time. So if you don’t see your favorite shirt listed, send the shop and e-mail with your requests so we can get that one back in stock right away! Can’t remember the older designs? Check out the BME Wiki page!
In more shop news, we’ve had some requests for cheaper international shipping. So we’re going to be running a trial on “International First Class Mail”. Keep in mind that this cheaper option will not come with a tracking number, and may take up to 4-6 weeks to arrive. Due to the nature of this shipment, missing packages will not be the responsibility of the BMEShop. So keep this in mind if you wish to try out the cheaper shipping options.
