Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

    When I was living in Mexico, groups of workers often took on tasks that would be handled by one person in Canada. The end result was not only that jobs got done faster (well, sometimes), but that there was less unemployment. These photos are from GeorgeZix at Espfinge Tattoo Shop in Sao Paulo, Brasil, and while of course it’s totally different, it still reminded me of what was “home” for all of 2005.

Dave has previously been mentioned here quite a bit: anchor cuttings, best scar bodysuit (see also: scarification bodysuit), and a brief scar video.

    This is a detox suspension pull c/o Kalie at The Conference Room in Honolulu… I really love the photo, it’s great, and those are some really nice looking traditional tattoos.

    Another very nice suspension photo care of my friends at the very talented Ascension Suspension Team in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is from a show at OPM on March 30, 2006. I love the lighting in this shot and wanted to share it with you here.
