This odd inner conch surface piercing is by Jason at Schmatta in Saskatoon, SK (IAM:piercedoff). It’s been too rare that I’ve said, “wow, I haven’t seen that before” over the last few years, but this is an example of a time I got to say it.

You know, I’ve never had a food fetish. The idea of putting whip cream on someone doesn’t turn me on, it makes me feel queazy. But I think I may be in the minority if porn is an accurate guide, so I share with you this picture care of IAM:Rhapsody on a windy night.

This wild piercing was done by Mark at Only Precision Piercing in Burlington Washington, USA . I didn’t really know what to call it, hopefully he joins IAM soon and lets us know his pet name for it and how it healed (because assuming it’s not fresh in this photo, it seems to be doing alright).

I won’t out the piercer that did this, but I really have to say that I feel that deep nipple piercings like this on women are reckless and irresponsible. If you see something like this in a portfolio, avoid that studio — see: BME encyclopedia entry on mastitis — it is incredibly easy for a female breast infection to travel inward and do permanent damage very quickly. Don’t take this warning lightly.

Well, in the morning I’ve got some travelling-slash-relocating to do, so I’m afraid it’s going to be a post-free day as I lug 400 pounds (seriously) of luggage across three countries… Thanks to IAM:nellyzofe for this photo. Smell ya later.

“All ages” doesn’t have to mean that kids are allowed — it also means that seniors are welcome… One of the cool things about body modification is that it’s an activity that spans every demographic group out there. Here’s a seventy-five year old grandmother recently pierced by IAM:Karnage — and don’t forget the woman we documented last month who got pierced for her hundredth birthday.

Thanks to dispel for sending me this pretty crazy looking vertical nose tip piercing done at the Dunstable Tattoo Expo 2005. Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen things like this.
