One of the down sides to not living on a coast is the lack of beachfront. So when I see photos like this one of rachelkasia I get a little jealous.

Happy birthday, Brian Decker!
Written by
It seems like just yesterday, Shawn was asking me if I had heard of “this Brian Decker guy in NY”. I hadn’t. Shawn told me Brian was some piercer getting into doing heavy mod work. We both assumed that, like most all other,piercers getting into heavier mod work at the time, he had to be a hack. Needless to say he did a helluva job proving us both wrong and is now one of the biggest and most respected names in piercing/ body modification.
For his heavy mod work, his contributions to the evolution of body piercing, his work with ROP and his ability to survive off nothing more than pop tarts for extended periods of time he deserves a big fat Happy Birthday from myself, all the fine folks at BME as well as the modified community at large.
So happy freaking birthday, you delightfully bitter old fart!

Guess What?
Written by
After last week’s guess what, I figured the next one should go back to basics. As much as everyone loved the plate of mystery meat, sometimes it’s nice just to look at a photo and guess where the piercing is located.
Yes there is blood, and yes that’s a CBR. And those will be the only hints you’ll get.
Think you know what it is? Take a guess and keep on reading to see if you’re right.
If you guessed a princess albertina, then step right up and collect your prize. This is one of the rarer piercings simply due to the anatomical requirements, and the risks involved (i.e. increased chance of bladder infections).

I like turtles

And these turtles really like each other.
According to Sagie from Walk the Line Tattoo Parlour in Karlstad, Sweden, the inspiration for this tattoo came from a somewhat famous youtube video.

Come hang with us!

4 days to go before BMEFest 2011! I think everyone knows by now how much I’m looking forward to the bouncy castles, obstacle course and slip’n’slide (3 lanes!), yet there is so much more going on. The party begins on Saturday, but if you show up Friday night, that’s alright as well. There is a LOT of room for tents, while there are hotels a short distance away, sleeping in a tent will probably save you some money. Of course there will be a big bonfire, and no I won’t be jumping into this time. I singed enough of my beard off last time for me to even think about doing it again.
Now, one of the many awesome things happening over the weekend is we have Cere from ROP facilitating both suspensions and pulls. Along with Cere, some of the other practitioners include ChrisB, TrickyDick, and Brian, as well as many others who work alongside these guys. Now if you’re thinking about suspending, feel free to get in touch with Cere ahead of time. He will be bringing extra supplies to facilitate pulls and suspensions for those who don’t get in touch with him, but letting him know ahead of time lets him estimate a bit better. Now supplies do cost these guys, so they’ll be asking for a minimum donation of $150 for suspensions, and 60 for pulls. One of the main tenants of the suspension community is that they’re there to facilitate, not make money. So any donation given covers the cost of the supplies, and anything in excess goes towards purchasing new equipment.
With that all said, here’s a shot taken by Jen on New Year’s Day at the last BME BBQ. Suspending is IAM:Velo, who is the guy with the massive burning monk scar.
