Sorry for my abscence the past few days. It’s been very hectic here! Thanks to Stacy Knight (who started tattooing a decade and a half ago with a homemade machine in highschool — read the rest of that story on his IAM page if you’d like) from Dragon FX (Kingsway Garden Mall location) in Edmonton, Alberta for this handprint tattoo with signatures.
Lane adds, “A good friend of mine Maurice Haun came in to have Stacy finish the last hand print tattoo on his back. Maurice’s children all gave Stacy a piece of paper containing their finger paint hand stamp so their father could have them prints tattooed on his back. The neat thing about them is that they each used the hand they write with and as you may have noticed, his daughter is a lefty.”

Norplant for guys is finally on the market, they’re just working on reducing its size (just kidding)! Thanks to Dan Marshall (www.piercerdan.net) in Toronto (currently on tour in Calgary) for sending in this photo of his unusually placed bicep implant, now over a year old.

In progress on Mita, who simply writes “I live in Japan and I like the vagina” — he now has nineteen vaginas tattooed on him with plans for far more:

Thanks to Lefrog for this shot of Namesofthedead’s 8-point static suspension by House of Wah and Constant Elevation. It’s interesting — finally after about three decades, rigging techniques pioneered by Stelarc and honed by groups like TSD are finally becoming more common. Not that there’s anything wrong with a simple back suspension, and I think for most people that’s the better way to go — but for art’s sake, I just love this style of rigging.

If you like the look of what you see (bloody sounding and cutting), click on through for a more revealing shot care of my friend Pigdaddy. If you like that, you’ll probably also like the equally bloody Hornet (click for a picture of his latest series which will be posted in his bonus gallery on BME/HARD tomorrow).

I quite like this little ram horn tattoo behind the ears… This was done by Stephan at LoveDog in Santa Cruz, CA.

Thanks to Sean Dowdell at Club Tattoo in Mesa, AZ for sharing these pictures from a recent photoshoot. There are more in this week’s BME piercing update (they’re not posted yet; they’ll go up probably on Thursday).
Other than that, I’m back in single-father mode so I may have to switch to posting every second day or posting a little less here because I have less spare time. Sorry! But don’t worry, Lane and other contributors have got things ready to go as well.

Thanks to Tampon for sending in this funny photo from a shoot that Matt Larkin was doing with Dreadedfate for his wet plate photo book. Suspension c/o Rites of Passage’s MA chapter. Click the picture for a wider shot by the way.

Thanks to CupCake for this picture… You know, I like my house and all, and I have a nice view from my balcony, but I’d much rather have a dock to sit on.

I think these may be some of the first finger implants I’ve seen (not including transdermals and finger dermal anchors). They’re 6mm and 8mm pieces on Nobnig (who has quite a bit of heavy work), done by Samppa Von Cyborg (MadMax Tattoo). I think the photos are by Al Overdrive but I apologize if I got that wrong.
PS. If you’re wondering about the title, it’s because as long as those implants are there, punching someone is going to really suck for both people! “This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you!”

Personally I think I like nipples that are tattooed as hearts better, but this custom jewelry by Samppa at MadMax is pretty cool too.

Thanks to Rich (who I hope will pop in later with his studio details) for sending me this Ouiji board tattoo that he did. I suppose if you want to communicate with the dead, you need to take a handjob to its logical conclusion, and see where fate lands, ha… Well, it can’t hurt to try anyway.

Awwwwright, I know I’m posting a lot of Samppa’s pictures today (and I have a few more saved for tomorrow or Wednesday), but I quite like this necklace piece he did. The scar in the middle is from the removal of an older implant by the way.
PS. For BME/extreme members, there’s tons of photos from Samppa at MadMax (located Finland-London-Everywhere) that will be posted later in the week.

Thanks to Steve Truitt for sending in these photos of a joint ROP, Ascension, and TSD suspension event using a zipline over a waterfall. More photos: one two three.
