Feet tattoos scare some people, not having them, but the act of getting them. Hand poked tattoos have that same effect. So when someone get’s a hand poked foot tattoo, I think it’s safe to assume they are somewhat of a badass…….yet with the pink toenails all the sudden they seem sweet and approachable. So here’s a pair of bad ass, yet sweet and approachable feet tattooed by Biran Wood of Self Made Studio in Asheboro, NC.

Right now, I am sitting inside my house bitter and grumpy that the ice cream man just drove by but instead of running out the door waving dollars like a drunk, lonely man in a titty bar I stayed inside. I relunctantly decided, I’d be better off not eating that delicious junk food, because unlike this lovely young lady my old, bitter metabolism can’t process that sort of sweet frozen orgasm.
Nope, lucky for Luckytcha she can indulge in this treat, have it melting all over her and still be hot.
Her tattoo was done by Uncle Allan at Ink Rat Tattoo in Tokyo, Japan.

I am sure you guys can guess where this is going, but do you know what it is?
Why it’s a home made elastrator of course! When it comes to body mods, many would argue that castration is as extreme as it gets. Because it not only changes the body physically, but it alters it chemically as well. The men who seek this mod are often the most passionate about their mod and in often cases, such as this, the most ingenuitive as well.

When random people notice one of my subdermal implants (or my vibram five finger shoes for that matter), the most common response is “What the hell?”.
That’s why I took such pleasure in finding this extremely subtle question mark implant that basically says “what the hell?” right back.
This implant was done by Stefanos, of the NicoTattoo Crew.

Rob and I both have made a few post about “beauty over harm” where someone took their self inflicted scars and either reworked them or covered them with a more artistic form of body modification. Yet, there is a whole other category of beauty over harm and that is those people who’s scars were not self inflicted. Often times we see women who have had nipple removal or full mastectomies due to breast cancer enhance there new altered appearance with tattooing. Sometimes it’s cosmetic tattooing to try and recreate what once was there, other times it’s artistic tattooing which takes the body part in a totally different direction than nature ever intended. Either way, it’s empowering to the wearer and something I whole heartedly support and encourage.
Below is a different example of that sort of mod, a tattoo over a colectomy scar.
What lies beyond the gates to “the biggest little city in the world”?, I am sure we can all guess, but I’ll put the full picture beyond a click through with the submitters description.
This is a tattoo of the Reno Arch done over the scar of my colectomy (colostomy surgery). It was done by Brandon Collins at Nightmare Tattoo in Reno, Nevada. The scar is about halfway up the R through halfway up the E. It is so awesome to have this instead of the scar to look at and I would like to share it with others interested in redoing scars, so I am submitting it to your blog.

As mentioned in my earlier post, I had some lost gems sitting dormant in my [email protected] email account. Lost amidst the spam for mail order brides and penis enlargement pills were these pics from Pete Sheringham of The Hanged Man suspension team of Melbourne, Australia and definitely deserve a post……even if it is a few months after the fact.
For two more shots from this set, keep on keeping on.

..in a land far, far away a friend of mine, known as “lord of the blade” sent me this picture of an itty bitty flesh removal key. It was the tiniest flesh removal detail he has ever attempted to pull off. I held onto this picture in my chamber of secrets (my bme email box) for many, many moons (since last December) until it was just the right time to post. Now is that time.
The piece below it was also by Ryan, and was done five years prior. I can’t wait to see how the key looks in five years, and since I forgot about this picture in my email inbox for so long one of those years is almost over!

It seems that Brian Decker guy has been busy again. Here’s his latest scar/brand piece.
It’s mostly a scar piece, but Brian finishes his work up with some branding which gives the scar a different texture, making it appear to be shaded. You can see more of Brian’s work in his BME Portfolio Gallery.

I was digging through quotes from “Batman & Robin” and I came to the realization that Arnie got all the best lines. It’s alright though, because Uma Thurman ended up getting this portrait tattoo done of her instead.
This was sent in by the appropriately named Ivy_DeVine

Here’s the other photo I mentioned earlier that was sent in by FemaleHumanoid. The focus here is not just on the couple, but also their tattoos. In fact I’d hazard a guess that the point of the photo is to showcase the work, that just happens to be on these two individuals. As with the earlier post, you’ll definitely want to go to the gallery to see the full sized version of this photo so you can get a better look at the tattoos.
