Photos from the 2011 Oslo Suscon are starting to trickle in, and the first ones that arrived were these ones taken by Rolf featuring Matt Kirk from Skindependent, a New Zealand suspension group. According to attendees, the official name of this suspension is the Captain Kirk.

I’ve talked before about tattoos having personal meaning to those who get them. There are none more personal and meaningful than memorial tattoos. In the case of this particular tattoo, it symbolizes the grief of losing a child. As Jackie Rabbit says:
After her son was killed by a drunk driver this woman (along with her other sons and husband) came in to get this yellow butterfly as a memorial. She explained that the yellow butterfly is symbolic of a grieving parent.
There is a saying that a parent should never outlive their children. The loss of a child, no matter how old, is probably one of the most devastating events in a person’s life. For the owner of this butterfly, this is just one of many steps in dealing with the loss. Thankfully her family is also there, united in the face of tragedy.
Jackie works at Star City Tattoo in Roanoke, VA.

Not sure which is hotter, the big bold script by Joey Pang, or the guy it’s on.
Joey owns and operates Tattoo Temple which is located in Hong Kong, and you can find more of her work in her BME portfolio gallery.
If you wanted to set up your own portfolio gallery, the BME Wiki has been updated with how to go about getting one, as well as what types of galleries are available.
Bonus galleries are galleries for individual members. You can find individual member galleries in the following places:
- Piercer Portfolios
- Tattoo Artist Portfolios
- Scarfication Artist Portfolios
- Studio Staff Scrapbooks
- Suspension Crews
- Body Modification Artists (18+)
- Hard Bonus Galleries (18+)
If you would like to set up a bonus gallery of your own, please email BME Support. Please state what type of gallery it is you would like to set up and what name the gallery should use. Note that a user can have multiple galleries in some instances. For example, an artist may have both a Piercing Portfolio and a Body Modification Portfolio. Users are limited to one hard bonus gallery per user.
Once a bonus gallery has been set up for you, you can begin tagging your submissions under the name you provided. Note that you are encouraged to continue to submit content both under your bonus gallery tag and whatever other tag your media may belong in. For example, a tattoo artist may tag a photo to their bonus gallery as well as the floral tattoos gallery.

I have no idea if that little guy is from anything and I don’t care. This is just so ridiculously cute.
