Although I see and hear about it less often now, in the early days of BME, this style of ultra-deep PA was one of the most asked about procedures. In these, the ring doesn’t exit at the base of the glans; it continues down the urethra, past the scrotrum, and exits about where a guiche piercing would be placed. Looking at it another way, it’s jewelry inserted via a urethral reroute.

This tattoo is by Eric Rieth at Seventh Son Tattoo in San Francisco, CA. I’ve also got more photos of video game tattoos and other geeky-stuff (send in yours to BME please!).

PS. There’s a few misfilings in the geek tattoo section because I hadn’t properly explained it to Phil; those will be fixed soon.

I thought this was a good example of an ideal result from UV-ink tattooing. The result here at least appears to be relatively invisible in normal daylight, but then jumps out when under a blacklight at a club… This example is by Richie’s Tats in Lancaster, California. Be warned though — there is no guarantee that UV ink won’t be visible under normal light at least a little (in part because of the ink’s presence, and in part because of the minor scarring that somtimes accompanies tattooing).

I’ll post some more tattoo entries later today, but as knuckle tattoos go, I like the one that IAM:pillpoppinfun got done. You may remember Jesse from the “Have Mursi!” lip plates article. Check out his page for lots of big stretching…

Is there a difference?

Steve Truitt from Ascension Suspension just emailed me their new video trailer. There’s lots of neat clips in this — tons of good looking performers with a lot of life in them, a human rotisserie, ass suspension, blood play, single hooks, tandem suspension, spinning beams, fire, and more. Great video from a great group.

Here’s a quick pair of scarification videos for you. The image quality isn’t the greatest on either of them, which is unfortunate because in each case it’s a very nice example of cutting art.

Whitespace getting his nipple cut by Dave Gillstrap. You can check out our previous post on his Buddhism-themed scarification bodysuit project (which also contains cutting work by other artists).

Warren gets his geometric arm cutting extended by Tom Brazda in Toronto… While a very qualified and experienced piercer, Tom’s only recently been getting seriously into cutting and I really like this piece a lot — you shoudl take the time to visit Warren’s page to see the photos.
