Well to wrap up today’s “love” theme, here’s a couple of IAMers, who met and fell in love thanks to BME.
On the right is ILoveHanson, and on the left is Adrian.
They’re just one of many happy couples that have met through BME. You can see more in the couples who met through BME gallery.
Have a happy Valentine’s day everyone.

In a piece reminiscent of Banksy’s works, Jon Goad from Alter Ego Tattoo in Knoxville, TN tattooed this unorthodox design on “abiftw”‘s hand. With the majority of palm tattoos being a design centralized in the middle of the palm, the off center phone booth, combined with the unique placements of the birds really make this a piece of art.
There are a few more photos of this lovely young woman and her hand in the hand tattoo gallery.

To some, getting their ears pointed is one of the last steps they can take with their upper ear. Well Zephyr*Elf here has shown us that not only was she not finished with her ear pointing, she also intended to get them pointed a second time. Back in July she had the opportunity to meet up with Efix Roy and have her ears pointed for the second time. The initial pointing was done by Lukas Zpira, who did a fantastic job, but for the look Zephyr was going for a second pointing was necessary, as you can see by just how pointed the end result is. In addition to the second pointing, he also scalpeled her lobes, with her 20mm lobe going to 1 inch, and her reconstructed lobe being reopened to 10mm. So, now that a few months have passed, you can see just how well everything healed up.
If you want to see photos of the ears just after the procedure, you can find them on her IAM page.

Ok, so she may not be heartless, but she is missing some skin in the shape of a heart. Normally when we see scarification and tattoos combined it’s a scar design over top of blackwork, or a cutting used to enhance a tattoo (or vice versa). In this case we’ve got a scar that cuts right through her vast assortment of chest tattoos. It gives a nice contrast to them as it shows that underneath her skin, which is covered in spider webs and zombie legs, she has a heart that is strong enough to push through her exterior. So no matter what someone may judge about how she looks from the outside, what matters most is what is inside. Then again we’re here to admire her, which shouldn’t be a problem considering how pretty she is.

Well if nobody did, too bad, you’re getting more anyway! This time we’ve got two beautiful BMEGirls to close out the week.
First up is Shanna, who we first saw a couple of weeks ago. This time around she’s showing off her kitty, as well as giving us another great look at her tattoos and piercings.
Next up is a photo sent in by justaburde, crediting Kevin Kusulas as the artist for what I’m assuming is the shoulder tattoos.
