Well, that’s all for today. You may see more from other writers in the next little while (and of course videos from Roo as always), and if I’m needed over the next few weeks you may see a few more entries from me as well. I really do hope this transition can go smoothly. BME (as in the main site) is in the process of updating in the next 12-24 hours.
As much as BME is absolutely a large-scale community project, for a decade and a half the output has been under my creative guidance and very much flavored by my own personality, politics, and interests. I’m sure there are people who are hoping that character will stay the same, and I’m sure there are people who are hoping it will change radically, and of course there’s value in each path. I am very much looking forward to seeing how things are expressed through a new prism, and I hope everyone gives it a chance.
Either way, I’m also looking forward to being able to get back out to the East Coast — maybe I will bump into John P at Peggy’s Cove, since his ear lends evidence that he’s been there.

I liked this CT scan from Jason Hinchee, who’s got a stretched 5/8″ septum tunnel in place. The CT scan was done for some upcoming surgery on his ear, so he was able to keep the septum in place… More images of others after the break.

Now, I saw good ol’ Giles cheering that ModBlog might soon be ruled under an enlightened era of feminism, while I saw other people opining, oh please, please, where will we get our boobie shots? Now, don’t worry… If my guesses as to who some of my replacements are going to be, I can tell you that they’re real sleazes, and you won’t have to worry about getting your fix. But, until a new era of shallow excuses starts, here’s a nice photo of Dagon taken by Greg Gabelman in Vancouver, with the chestpiece being done by Shawn O’Connor.

I really think that without a doubt one of the most truly stunning, unique, striking, exotic, and beautiful women in the body modification scene is Argentina’s La Negra, photographed here by Eduardo Baez for Tatuarte en la Piel magazine at Danny Yerna’s event in Mexico. More photos continue after the break.

The three point spiral cartilage piercing that Jay Dee Werland at Tiger Rose Tattoo and Body Piercing in Pismo Beach, California has just installed here is nice and all, but I also like the “studded for her pleasure” marks from all the old piercings… My ear still has those from piercings in the 80s!

Chouk79165 in Brussels, Belgium, got a third vertical lowbret by Indy recently, making it I think the first central one I’ve seen in a non-tribal context (ages ago Olivier showed me some postcards of vertical central lowbrets that were about an inch across)… You can click for a less misleading photo.

I know this is not particularly freaky for BME regulars, but in terms of freaking out the mundanes, sticking your tongue (or half of it) through a giant labret always does the trick. On the left is Titanium Boy who has an 8mm tongue piercing and a 16mm labret, and on the right is Susan and her tongue split.

To make up for the previous entry’s potential shock value, some grauitous photos of iam:scrumptiouscupcake at home, sans-clothing… More after the break.

This beautifully executed and I suspect quite tricky triple daith placement was done by Rion, a piercer of 17 years, who works at Deep Roots Tattoo in Seattle, Washington. I believe this may actually be the first triple daith I’ve ever seen, come to think of it!

You may be surprised that this is not the first goldfish I’ve seen with a pierced labret (click that for an interview on the subject). This one is “Hydro” the “shop fish” at Twisted in Oak Harbor, Washington…
More animal-mods pictures to get mad about

Following up on the inner cheek piercing I posted a few weeks ago, Herini had a similar piercing, although it was placed a little differently (sort of a frenulum-less scrumper/smiley). Hers never healed though, and they’ve since been removed.

I feel like I kind of shortchanged Biohazard the last couple times I posted him by picking unflattering pictures, so I wanted to post these two (the second is after the break) of him doing an arm pull — you can see that the “cheek ladder” he has looks pretty neat.

Yes, yes, bring on the jokes about how Miss Mindi (who does “acrobatic neo-burlesque”) is not just very cute, but also very horny (pierced by Kristof in Brisbane)… What I especially got a kick out of though — and you can see this in the play piercing photos after the break — is that she has a Cheshire Cat tail tattooed on her!

If I’m understanding Ashy’s email, she made the mistake of putting some sort of aggressive antiseptic onto her fresh eyebrow piercing (done by Sean at Creative Tattoos and Piercings in Byron Bay) causing it to get irritated and ultimately seriously infected and in need of antibiotics to clear it up… Not that it can’t get worse, but this is definitely one of the more unhappy eyebrow piercings I’ve seen!

xTVRx from Gdansk, Poland did this great side corset piercing on Outenkun last February for a photoshoot with Wioleta Brzostowska. Two more photos of just Outenkun follow after the break.

Following up on the recently posted 0ga tragus piercing, Delta9 sent in a photo of his 1/2″ tragus tunnel, first done by Gribbs of Forever and Ever Tattoo in Bournemouth.

xTVRx was stretching his nipples using jewelry wrapped in PTFE tape and woke up in the morning with this terrible bubble of pus. Way too gross, so I put the picture after the break!!!
