Thanks to IAM:Anxiety for sending in these pictures of herself doing this “Heaven” cutting. I can’t recommend using a kitchen knife for such procedures, but given that I’ve tattooed myself using a needle mounted to an electric squirtgun pump, I’m in no position to talk!

Thanks to Spacy for submitting a photo series of her heart sewing (self done at home in Liverpool). I’ve seen this as a tattoo theme quite a few times, but I think this is the first time I recall it being taken so literally!

I think that Albertans especially will appreciate this photo from IAM:Holy Flesh of IAM:sicchic‘s suicide suspension… I like the juxtaposition of the city, the country scene, the muddy truck, and the serenity of the suspension itself.

Here’s a kitty make-up scene by Master Liam and Suicide Kitty for sending in this series of photos from a performance they put on (more will be on BME soon) of what’s kind of a mix between Cats (The Musical), Chinese Medicine, and BME culture…

I operate in a different world with different celebrities, so here’s a spy shot of ritual superstars IAM:stainless and IAM:_Stigmata_… I’m told that’s Claire Danes in the middle, but honestly, if I was told it was Lindsay Lohan, I’d be just as likely to believe it. Seriously though, thanks to IAM:Ascenhookfreak for the photo, and be sure to go see The Flock when it comes out.

You may have seen one of them on the cover of BME, but because they’re so intense I wanted to share a few more of these Psycho Cyborgs performance photos care of IAM:madmax. They were taken by Regis Hertrich at Torture Garden in London, UK.

Thanks to cute little Icelandic elf IAM:XunsaneX for this great shot of her taking over seventy needles from Max Brand at All or Nothing Tattoo in Smyrna, Georgia. Seriously, I am so enamored with Iceland and Icelandic culture in general, and that statement is even more true after writing this entry (it’s a little country — I can draw statistical interpretations from a single person, right?).

I’ve done this and I can tell you, it really really hurts the next morning. Worst pain I’ve ever had from a flesh hook. Send healing vibes in the direction of Casshan up in Anchorage.
