The rules are different in São Paulo, Brasil. Freakboy sends in this “knee kids” photo, writing, “falsa suspensã knee — somente uma brincadeira!!!” I hope someone at the FBI speaks Portugese… Well, click through for a closeup.

That means Molly Muffin, pierced at Skin Graffix in Belleville, Ontario, won’t be able to post this on Naked Wars (the site all about full nudity, minus the full nudity)!

I’ve seen a number of scarifications done to cover up scars from [self] cutting. Here’s one that Blair (byBlair.com) did to cover up scars from surface piercing while he was working in England.

What an unfortunate last name to have. The teasing at school must have been unbearable… Tattoo by Tracy Devine of Devine Creations in Kingston, NH.

Ilya from the Flesh Factory in Amsterdam did this “Red Bridge Project” with his friend Jenn and assistance from **loveless**. They pierced Ilya at a nearby house and did the base rigging there as well. They took a boat out to the bridge which already had the ropes in place, then a single click to attach him and they pulled them both up!

You may remember that back in May I posted some freshly cut photos of Flash’s pubic flower cutting done by Defstar (Magnum, Moscow, Russia). It’s looking great as it heals — this is about two months old now.

Here’s Knightowl36 caught in the act of doing a 0ga deep PA on himself (yes, the procedure is a little bloody). He writes, “If anybody told me how painful it would be to pee after preforming a “0ga deep PA” on oneself, I NEVER would have done it.”
Well, he stuck it out and it’s healing well (which is good, because I did one of these on myself about ten years ago using the same DIY procedure and healing was a nightmare). Oh, and if you’re wondering, that’s a transscrotal you’re seeing as well.

I’m very happy to post this interview with one of the coolest and smartest pierced people I know! Click the picture to jump through to the interview! Thank you to Alvar for taking the time to chat, and congratulations to him on his achievements and representing modified people so well. (For those of you who don’t remember, click through).
BME: Do you think you have to work harder as a pierced person?
Alvar: No, not at all… you should simply always work hard. Being pierced/modified should neither give nor take any rights from you — you deserve the same treatment, and you are free to look different.

At first I was going to comment that this isn’t going to last at all, but then I look down at my own knuckles, and I have high detail scars from my old knuckle piercings, as well as cuts from various punches and hand injuries. So maybe it will last. Either way, it’s more nice clean work by Brian of Pure Body Arts in Brooklyn, NY (although I’ll mention again that he tours regularly).

Keff’s halfsleeve was done in a stippled style by Marc at Swastika Freakshop in Radolfzell am Bodensee, Germany, and I think it’s definitely one of my favorite BME tattoos — up there with Joeltron’s backpiece.

Girl’s right forearm, tattooed by Gavin Rowbottom at Feline in Sheffield, and her eight week old son. Interesting juxtaposition with the previous entry!

Because of the clear jewelry, you can see the sutures (note: not all artists suture these) on the inside edge of this ear cutting by Christiane at Pinpoint Piercing in Norway.

You may remember at the start of the month I posted shots of The Engima’s (iam:TheEnigma) ear reshaping by Howie (LunaCobra.net) when they were fresh and sutured. They’re healing really well, and The Enigma sends in these shots of how it’s doing these days.

I recently received this letter;
In late February of 07, I joined a website called myfreeimplants.com, more out of humor than anything else. Free breast implants? Come on this could not be possible!
I have always wanted breast implants, but could never afford them. My first day on the site, I realized that the website is the real deal and it could work for me! How it works is women, like myself, ask men, or as the website calls them, “benefactors”, for donations to get breast implants. it took me 3 months to raise enough money for my surgery.
On june 4th 2007, I reached my goal amount, and decided to get a my free implants tattoo [by Cary at High Street Tattoo, Columbus OH] . My surgery is scheduled for September 1st 2007, and I can not wait to join the big boobie club.
The internet is a magical place :)
Thanks!
