    IAM:arco had a chance to head up to Phuket Thailand last month for the vegetarian festival (which involves, among other things, devotees having extremely large temporary piercings done in their cheeks into which elements of their lives are inserted). He’s written a little more about it on his page, and there is a full and growing gallery on BME as well.

    Two piercing videos c/o my friend Jonathan Piercing down in Venezuela. The top video is Javier doing a catheter needle-style female nipple piercing , and at the bottom is Jonathan doing a large gauge scalpelled navel piercing. Enjoy, and if you have a video you’d like me to post here, just email it to [email protected] and tell me it’s for Modblog.

    No, I’m not talking about tattooed pigs like you may have read about on Needled. I’m talking about the kind of tattooed pigs that result in supermarkets no longer hiring people who they think might one day want to apprentice to tattoo or pierce. Click to zoom in by the way:
