  • Patience is a Jedi virtue

    …but is it a Stormtrooper virtue?

    Ever since it was mentioned in September, people ask me regularly what’s going on with the stormtrooper-shaped implant. Unfortunately not much to show yet — the pictures in this entry of Damaris’s hand implant are only three months old, and it’s hard to make out in photos even if you know exactly what you’re looking at. It doesn’t help that right after getting the implant done, Damaris had the bad luck of standing next a women with certain shortcomings of balance, who grabbed her hand to save herself from a fall — “I’ve never felt pain like that before!” — and caused it to shift from it’s originally straight placement. That said, some implants can take a year or more to really show their maximum detail, so it’s not necessarily worrying. I’ll continue to update on the healing of this over time.

  • Lightsabers will cut through ANYTHING

    I’d always assumed piercing would be more of a sith thing, but he insists that he is in fact a Nasalang Jedi. Oh, Rafa, can you never be serious? Oh and on a more serious note, you may notice the absence of jewelry in this picture, if you were wondering what Rafa looked like with the lip plates removed.

  • Subliminal Advertising

    So I was flipping through tattoo pictures, and saw this great traditional Samoan-style tattoo, and — boom, a “totally-looks-like” moment — instantly all I can think of is the Emperor’s Royal Guard from the Star Wars series. Am I nuts? You can see this too, right?

  • Time to brush up on your Mandalorian

    Today’s winner of the nerdiest scar contest goes to this scar by John Joyce.

    For those not “in the know”, Boba Fett was a Mandalorian warrior turned bounty hunter.  I could be wrong about the translation but I believe the above reads “Adryanna”.
