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.

  • Enticing

    Narfette is from Montreal, but the three year old sternum piercings, cheek piercings, bridge, and so on, are by Raphaelle at Magic Circus/3D in Paris, France.

  • Is that a rib in your septum?

    Or are you just happy to see me? Karlin sends in this photo from Merida, Mexico (piercing done at Nomadas as far as I know)… I was wondering… Is this the first time I’ve posted human jewelry? Part of me thinks this is actually the second time I’ve posted this exact picture, ha.

    Damn amnesia!

  • Inverse Upper Lip Piercing

    Interesting lip-tip piercing done using custom jewelry on Krista by Chris Holepunch at Akron Ink (formerly Pain Hate Pain Studios) in Akron, Ohio. I’m not sure if it’s going to have rejection issues because the inner lip is pretty soft, but I quite like “mystery piercings” like this that confuse people who haven’t been around much piercing.

  • Bug Plug!

    Bug. Not Butt. I like this encased insect jewelry that Cale in Denver, Colorado sends in. Click through for another view of the jewelry.

  • What is that held in by? Hair?

    Quite a while ago (over two years ago actually), Kivaka sent me these shots of people who came into his shop with rejecting piercings, at least one of them completely unaware that there was even a problem!

  • Raeka’s Temple Piercings, Ver 2.0

    By Darryl at Retro Rebels on George Street in Aberdeen.

  • Ouch.

    Kivaka sends in these very gross pictures of a scarring, swollen, and oozing Madonna piercing he had to remove. Now, on one hand it’s the fault of the person pictured, because they allowed the piercing to get so irritated. But on the other hand, it’s the fault of their employer, who forced (lest they be fired) them to take the piercing in and out every single day because of a “no piercings at work” policy.

    I’m loathed to tell private employers how to run their business, because I feel that they do have a right to dictate dress code down to the specifics. However, they need to realize that a “take your piercing out at work” way of thinking really isn’t limited to “work”. In the vast majority of cases, taking the piercing in and out constantly will destroy it… Thus these “work” policies also aggressively dictate how the employees dress on their off time.

  • Anchor-Shaped Surface Piercing

    I appreciate that effort seems to have been made to mark out veins and and the humor in doing an anchor as a piercing rather than a tattoo… but… no offense intended to Tobi at Hot Rod in Houston, Texas, but I don’t think this will heal in a million years. I don’t honestly see it lasting more than a couple days anyway. Hopefully it was intended to be temporary.

  • Soft Palette Piercing (Sort Of)

    We got this neat picture from Maddalena from Naples — she has a natural hole in her soft palette and decided it might be better with jewelry.
