You may remember that back in August I posted about “extreme knitting“. If you liked that, IAM:namesofthedead has also tried extreme knitting. I think when these photos came in to BME they were processed by Phil, who’s an avid unicycler and mentioned to me that extreme ironing is actually a sport. Well, here’s the suspension community’s contribution I suppose!

“Guys, where are we?” … If you know what this tattoo is all about, you may watch too much TV, but at least you watch good TV. Tattoo self-done in grey ink by Julie in Leic, UK.

The tattoo on the left is an original custom tattoo (based on traditional tattoo iconography) on Asurfael. A little while after she submitted it the cheap copy on the right appeared. You know, it’s one thing if you have a high quality copy, but a crappy copy is kind of degrading.

I was thinking about how popular biohazard symbol tattoos are in this community (1, 2, 3, 4). I assume that’s because biological contamination is especially important and life threatening to people involved in invasive body art, more so than it just being some sort of badass symbol…? Anyway, when I got sent the tattoo pictured in this entry (by Nick Whybrow at Tattoo Inc in Colchester UK) I was reminded how rare nuclear symbol tattoos are — I think in almost eleven years of running BME I have received only two, whereas I’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of biohazard images. I have seen nuclear subs and nuclear families and even the Springfield nuclear plant, but the symbol itself, hardly ever…
