When I was in psyche ward lock-down (what, you didn’t know that BME was started by an escaped mental patient? I kid you not…) there was a big catatonic guy that always wandered around in torn jeans with his nuts hanging out. It was really funny. While I hated being locked up, in a lot of ways I do really miss living in a mental hospital because there’s so much humor if you can dissociate from the fundamental horror of it all… This photo kind of reminds me of those days.

You may remember that a while back I posted a cervical piercing (on which you should definitely read the follow-up interview, so let me add this unusual genital piercing that’s resultant from a split Princess Albertina. Erika decided to take the two flaps that were left from the split (sort of a mini “female subincision” I suppose!) and pierce them each with a barbell.
Yurah Kalmikov at Planeta Tattoo in Kiev, Ukraine did the piercing and everything is healing nicely. To the best of my knowledge, and theirs as well, this is the first piercing of this type… So far they’re just calling it “Erika’s Fantasy”, and unless anyone else steps forward, they have naming rights!

Charles’s tattoo was done at Empire Tattoo in South Africa, and his piercings (an ampallang and a reverse PA in this photo) were done by Eddie Graham — he’s one of the first people Eddie (one of South Africa’s most established piercers) has worked on as far as I know.
