Picture 1: Helping a friend with some portfoliowork. Credit goes to Ylva Holm Torsteinson!! I got my septum in San Francisco… Some place. Cute piercer. Rawr. Lobes 12mm. Way too small ):
Picture 2 (click through): Eating “lunch” in France at a huge photojournalist festival. Gah. Amazing. The same septum as in picture 1… Still got it in San Francisco (Mom’s Body Shop). The piercer was hot. GRRRR!

Javier Jade at Arte Sagrado in Lima, Peru, went on an absolute rampage at this year’s International Bodyart and Tattoo Convention in Lima, picking up a handful of awards for his work. Somehow not for the one above, mind you, but check after the jump for a couple of winners.
The old man’s face won “Best of the Day,” while the child’s face won “Best Realistic.” Deservedly so!

We’re very excited about this one, folks. Kim Saigh has long been recognized as one of tattooing’s premier talents, and a few years ago, TLC snatched her up for a starring role on their Miami Ink sister show, L.A. Ink. She recently spoke to BME about how the show affects her relationship with her clients, what her favorite (and not so favorite) parts of the show are, and why she’ll probably never make another joke about tumors. Read It’s Not Her Job To Make You Cry by clicking here or on the photo of Kim below:

Globetrotter and international bon vivant Girl Scout sends in the above photo, with the following story:
During a trip to Cuba to celebrate my and my mother’s birthdays, we took an excursion outside of Varadero (where we were) on a day-walk through both old and new Havana City. During the walk I saw this man and forked up the peso he asked for to have my picture taken with him. Later during the walk, our tour guide explained to the group that he had lost his leg to diabetes.

Hey, ’tis the season for portrait photography, right? Lissaa (far left) writes in:
My friends and I decided to go get professional pictures done at Walmart, probably the biggest waste of 120 bucks ever spent, but it made for a good ass Tuesday.
And the memories will last forever, probably. Unless whatever it is that’s so disturbing dude in the lower right-hand corner savagely attacks them all.
