As you can see below, sometimes lobe piercings blow out with the most revolting of tumorous keloids. Here’s a before and after (or should I say more philosophically, after and before) of a correction done by Andre Fernandes at Tattoo You in Sao Paulo, Brasil.
Oh, and if you really must see the little amputated ear buddy, click here.

According to Alyssa Jane, MGDW stands for “Materialistic Gold Digging Whore”. No offense intended to Alyssa, but guys, I’ve got one piece of advice for you: stick with the sluts. They’re a lot more fun I think.
Oh, chickenheads.com, I love you so.

What kind of person gets a tattoo of one stick figure kicking another stick figure in the nuts? I guess you’d have to ask Jamie at Voodoo Tattoo in Huntsville, TX.
Edit: This entry originally contained the wrong artist credit and was thus updated.

“Hi. My name is Bea. I’m Sanjin’s dog, and I also have a piercing. I had it done one year ago and I’m very happy with it!”

IAM:youwithoutme is a big fan of Troubled Hubble (great band name), so she got some lyrics tattoed on her — “What inspires you should entire you. Live how you wannabe loved.” Tattoo applied by Josh B at Sacred Skin in Clive, Iowa… I like what the tattoo is saying even with the odd grammar, but if it was me I’m sure the typo (“wannabe” instead of “want to be”) would drive me bonkers!
Damn, I feel so guilty when I point these things out, but at the same time I hope it illustrates what care you need to take when getting a tattoo with lettering… Even when you know the subject well it’s so easy to make mistakes like this.

Perhaps you’ve noticed that ModBlog has been offline for some of today. Yeah, I’m not thrilled about it either. I don’t think I can legally post the home address of the ISP folks responsible so an angry reader can burn down their house, so let me just wish this sad fate upon them: I hope because BME was offline thanks to your incompetence, that your kids don’t learn how to find a decent piercer and get Hepatitis C at some no-glove home piercing party.
OK, I don’t really hope that, but seriously, having servers offline makes me crazy. Sorry!

Purple666 sent us this funny picture of a pierced beard, done at the first annual Porto Alegre Tattoo convention (that’s in Brasil for the geographically challenged).
