Well, this is just lovely, is it not? A pretty face, a handsome photograph and some nice, clean lip sewing by the model’s boyfriend, Tomek LP-U from Art of Pain Body Piercing in Krakow, Poland. “He really wanted to shut me up,” she says of Tomek. Ha, you kidders. Procedural goodness, after the jump.

See, now, some people may not agree with the opinion that this play piercing project by Mike Kelton of Karma Tattoo and Body Piercing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is, in fact, a better and more effective sartorial option than the shoulder strap that has been eschewed in favor of it. “But Jordan,” they say, “it does not help keep her shirt on, nor does it fit with the shirt’s color scheme! It is merely a nicely executed design constituting a series of needles that serves no actual structural purpose at all!” To which we reply, Exactly. More procedural photos after the jump.

We kicked off the week with these UV ink tattoos by Stephanie Campbell at Dragon FX Kingsway in Edmonton, Alberta, but the question remained among many: What do these suckers look like when not under the glow of one of your fancy ’70s blacklights? Well, Stephanie checked back in with these shots to illustrate the difference. Check out the difference after the jump.

We are more or less in a perpetual state of regret that we cannot be at all of the wonderful tattoo conventions and other various body modification gatherings from which we receive photographs, but we are always thrilled nonetheless to receive said photos. Like these, for instance! Esteemed European correspondent Mpatshi sends in these excellent shots from the recently wrapped-up London Tattoo Convention. We will contain our jealousy for the time being, enjoy these and hold out hope that we will not be stuck on this infernal continent next year.

Hey, anyone in the mood for a double–Decker? We first published fresh photos of Heather‘s hand back in those heady days of summer, but now, several months into the healing process, here’s a clearer idea of what the result is likely going to be. Clean, subtle—in our estimation, pretty much ideal for a hand scarification piece. Lovely stuff.
