A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • So that’s how it works!

    Each of these photos (all submitted by different people) could easily make their own ModBlog post, but in the interest of BME synchronicity and killing three birds with one stone I’m going to combine them here — and sadly miss out on all the “dying happy” jokes I could be cracking about the first photo. Anyway, do the math (and click to zoom in):

    + =
  • I find it disturbing…

    Perhaps it’s simply my own cultural bias speaking, combined with my personal kink opinion that body modification is sexual in nature, I find it really hard to process photos of kids getting piercings… Even nose and ear piercings squick me — I can’t think of any objective reason why it’s wrong though, and I’m certainly not making a negative comment about the piercers involved. To each their own!

  • Strike Branding Video

    I haven’t posted a video in some time, even though my old friend Jonathan Piercing has very generously sent me a nice pile of them (some of the heavier ones are on BMEvideo)… So I’m going to start posting them so everyone can enjoy them! I’ll start with his XXX stomach strike branding. I enjoyed this video a lot because it really captures the fun and emotion and endorphin response of this artform. [Especially] those of you who’ve had strike branding done I think will enjoy this also.

    This was done way back in 2000 at Tattoo Galery in Venezuela by Javier Hecatombe.

  • Pierced arm stub

    I’ll post more stuff later tonight, but before I got started on other projects this morning I wanted to post this “arm stub piercing” done by Devin in Oregon. The jewelry through the nipple-like protrusion on the end of the stub is a 14ga 3/8″ curved barbell.

    I love it when people take active and proud control of their body, no matter how it’s shaped!

  • Lucky Bastard!

    You know, some piercers have all the luck, starting with Michael Moore over at VooDoo Tattoo in Bay City, MI who did a girl-girl corset piercing recently, splitting a dozen rings between two girls in matching lingerie (oh yeah… what would you do if you had a million bucks?).

    Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying the 2006 return of ModBlog. There won’t be any posts tomorrow because I’m trying to take a day a week off as a general rule, but watch for more on Monday evening.
