First Microdermals in Place
Written by
Check out these new “microdermals” (jewelry by JD) by John at Scarab in Syracuse, NY. My feeling is that transdermals, at least the current “labret clover” technology, have too low a success rate, so I’m very interested in dermal anchors like these (which even if they don’t have a higher success rate in the end, at least are easy to remove, unlikely to go toxic, and don’t leave a major scar).

Giant nostrils (and septum), jewelry removed
Written by
Since my last post on Pauly Unstoppable generated so much feedback, I’d like to give you another angle as well as showing you what this intense body modification looks like without the jewelry in place (and check out the “see from one side to the other” jade look).
PS. More large stretched and punched nostril piercings on BME.

Biggest Nostril Piercings in the World?
Written by
I’m going to make the claim that Pauly Unstoppable has not only the largest nostril piercings of anyone living in Indiana, but I’d say in Western culture as a whole, and I’m also going to claim that he has the largest nostril piercings of any living person.
What do you think? Know anyone bigger? Pauly’s are currently 1 1/8″ each, done in ebony with nice inlays, made to match the large plugs he wears in his ears.
I recently (BMEfest) got to see them in person and they look amazing. His nose is an entirely new shape, and it’s quite stunning… and whether you like the look or not I hope you agree that he deserves a lot of credit for the courage to go ahead and choose an aesthetic that’s radically outside the mainstream.

Cocobolo Wood Jewelry Reaction
Written by
Speaking of wooden jewelry, I’d like to remind you (care of Peter Mahoney) that it’s important to know what kind of wood you’re wearing, how poisonous it is (many woods are on one level or another), and how allergic you are to it. These pictures are of Peter’s 1 1/4″ lobes after a reaction with cocobolo.
