Thank you again to Jorge from Jaguar Colibri for this photo.
Anyway, I am very tired and am going to bed. Because of BMEfest obligations and pleasures, I won’t be able to post here again until probably Tuesday. Have a good holiday weekend everyone!

Someone once told me he thought that nipple piercings should be called breast piercings because for most people, earlobe piercings are simply called ear piercings. For that guy, I share this photo of Moritura’s new breast piercings, done by exitus84 of Bavaria, and illustrate the importance of differentiation.

I admit it took me a moment to realize it was a lychee, but then all I could think about is how good they taste! Vertical labret and labrets by Chris at Poke a Hole Body Piercing on Kalakaua in Waikiki (inside of Skin Deep Tattoo).

Earlier this month I showed you Tina’s new Romeo and Juliet sleeve, so I couldn’t resist sharing these great beach shots of her by AnGeLinPayN on Australia’s Gold Coast (Brisbane).

I love it when people dive in and go big for their first one — assuming they choose a good artist, the result is almost always superior to the more timid and less large approach. Anyway, this first tattoo was done over two sessions by Chris Krahn at Krahnic Body Art in Boise, ID.

First scars, by Paul at Body Manipulations (of America, not the Netherlands) — it reminds me of the recently posted black square tattoos:

Kevin from Ostend, Belgium, tells me this is “self done”, but I don’t believe the pig’s foot is quite that capable. I’m sorry, I know, it’s in bad taste to make second language jokes, but I just wanted some text because I hate posting photos all by themselves.

First a modern example of a fish in steaks, based on artwork by David Choe, tattooed by Scotty at Tattoo You in Columbia, Missouri.
I’d actually put that aside a while ago for posting here, and then I got a more traditional version of it that reminded me. This koi fish cut up on a dinner plate with lemon is by Rev Chriss Finalis at Shelton Tattoo in connecticut.

Since today is tattoo day on BME, let’s do all tattoos, finishing up with this “III: ET TU BRUTE” classics tattoo by Nikk at Lunchbox Tattoo in Johnsburg, IL.
Edit: The text of this entry doesn’t entirely make sense because I seem to have worked and played too hard yesterday and passed out before managing to get the entries posted, ha!

Lexci sends in these shots of some of the remnants of a skin removal done by Dirk Sullivan at Dragon FX Kingsway in Edmonton, AB.

So we’ve been debating here at the BME HQ whether this is an “inner fourchette”, or if it’s actually a hymen piercing (on a remnant perhaps — what do you think?). Liz got this very unusual piercing done by Brody at Elwood’s Body Mod in BC. As it heals I will be very interested to hear how it does and if it’s comfortable or not…

Inkmanlarry (who is covered in tattoos!) sends in these shots of his latest tattoos, done at the All American Tattoo Festival in Sacramento, CA. I found it interesting that they chose to place them differently on the fingers (so the one has a lunula skullcap).

Another cut… Yes, it works. In fact, it works twice as well. If you don’t believe me, there are plenty of videos on BME’s video sistersite (warning: explicit link, duh).
