We’ve seen Adhara doing a bit of dancing before, but it seems that wherever she goes she’s got a great photographer following her every move. And can you blame them? You get a beautiful girl like Adhara dancing with a giant sword, and people are bound to take notice.
You can check out more photos of Adhara in the labret and earlobe galleries, and you can also check out the sword dance in the video below.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is Adhara. She’s a member of the Lotus Dance Studio Troupe, a tribal belly dancing group, and recently performed at Camelot Days 2010 in Florida. Not only do we have a couple of pictures of her, but after doing a quick google search I was able to track down the performance where the photos were taken.

Now the markings on her face are just paint, but her labret, industrial, nostril, and other piercings are real.

…and I have done lots of things that would make a normal person curl up in the fetal position and require years of institutionalizing.
So in the rare moments when I come across something that makes me cringe a bit, I feel obliged to share it with you guys.
Some of Alicja‘s performance acts she does with The Psycho Cyborgs definitely makes me wince a bit. I don’t know what it is about the “fingering of an open wound” but for some reason that does it for me every time.
For more pictures of her performances, her work and a music video with her and the Psycho Cyborgs, keep on keeping on.
When Alicja is not performing with the Psycho Cyborgs she can be found piercing at Self Sacrifice Tattoo in London, which just moved to a new location making it the largest shop in all of London! It seems like just yesterday I was posting a uvula piercing and commenting on the technical difficulties of it, and when perusing Ala’s portfolio noticed this (much trickier) front to back uvula piercing.

And finally, fair ModBloggers, let’s end on this single-point forearm suspension courtesy of Brian Wood at Liberty Tattoo Company in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who last submitted this handsome scarification piece. We suspect this was not a particularly lengthy suspension, but hey, this gentleman stayed up long enough to get a picture off at least, potentially impending arm-related doom notwithstanding. And while you all go off to bed, just remember that there are folks out there risking life and limb not just for their edification, but for yours, too.
Until tomorrow, folks.

Hey, would you look at that? Another day, another picture too good for which to not offer an embiggening click-through. This glorious shot is courtesy of Hangman Suspensions (the Hawaii- and Oregon-based one, that is, not to be confused with Pete Sheringham‘s Hanged Man Team in Melbourne, Australia), from their end-of-summer suspension convention held recently at Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon coast. Lovely stuff. And, of course, more, more, more…after the jump.
