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!

I don’t know who did Becca’s crazy “What Creams Your Twinkie” tattoo, but her Madison anchor was done by Josh Verdi at Body Graphics in Temecula, CA, who sent in this photo…

You’ll have to look quite carefully to see the accent marks in this eight piece microdermal project by Adam at Psycho City Tattoo in Lancaster, CA.

This is just a picture of IncendiaryBovine’s one year old triple microdermal ladder, done by Chris at High Priestess Piercing in Corvallis, Oregon, right?

I suppose it’s inevitable now that people have been installing dermal anchors in huge numbers for a year or two that I’ve started to see a flood of somewhat gory removal and rejecting photos… That said, as unpleasant as these particular pictures left, the scars are extremely minor.

Personally I’m not usually a fan of tattoo/piercing combinations most of the time — I think they tend to have a largely unintended air of silliness about them, to say nothing of the eventual scar and touch-up issue — but I really like this one, done by Lexci Million at Shambhala Tattoos using a 3mm Anatometal bezel set end. It looked a little too good to be true (most combos are an afterthought), and she confirms, saying,
“[The customer] got the tattoo as a combo piece. She booked her tattoo appointment and then came back for the anchor a couple weeks later, as soon as her tattoo was healed up. Luckily she doesn’t wear jeans so there’s no impact on the anchor in an otherwise high-impact area.”
Hey, wait a minute Lexci… Isn’t she wearing jeans in the photo? :P

My friend Sean Dowdell from Club Tattoo is holding a few dermal anchor seminars (click for a flyer), so let me share with you two gorgeous dermal anchor projects he’s done (the angel wings one I’ve actually posted before, but this is a much nicer photo). First, this Om is really something, in terms of really characterizing the level of “art” that these can bring to what’s traditionally more of a “craft”:
As is this metal angel… Hopefully Caitlin and I can make it out to see him at the Maritime Tattoo Festival in Halifax this May, which is one of his seminar destinations along with Baltimore, Mesa, Philly, and Long Beach.

Dear ModBlog,
My friend Steve Truitt in Albuquerque wrote me with this photo of an eight-piece microdermal corset he did on a client. The oldest one is about eight months old and the newest about half that, and they’re all doing quite well (although it seems that there was a bottom pair that got removed; I’m assuming due to pants interaction). She’s worn the slave ring ends for over a month now, and as a dancer, occasionally laces them up for work — I wonder if she gets more or less tips those nights?
I’ll write again soon,

Dear ModBlog,
Yelena’s done a major microdermal project (”pretty much splitting me in half with microdermals,” she says) in which thirteen of them have been laid out along what could be an autopsy scar. They were placed by Evan at Church of Steel, San Diego, CA.

Dear ModBlog,
My friend Anders in Marsden, Australia, did the simple but great five-ring lip project above, as well as all the microdermals below, with the first and the last one both being tattoo-metal interaction projects. It won’t make a difference on the first four of course, but I guess the one downside to having a pretty neat looking mod like this is that one day the scar from the microdermal will have to be repaired…

Dear ModBlog,
I think that 2007 is definitely “year of the microdermal”, a modification which I continue to believe is the single most revolutionary thing to happen to body piercing in the last decade.
When Jon Cobb first proposed it in 1997 (he called it “pocketing”), people laughed and thought it was silly that a section for it was added to BME. It took a decade for people to figure out the perfect method and jewelry, and now they’re almost commonplace, offering people an infinite range of new decorative options for their body.
This triple wrist was done on Ryan by John Blake and another piercer at the same shop. Ryan writes,
Everything is healing up fine — both of the side ones have given me no problems at all and these have been the most painless modifications I’ve ever done… a lot more practical than surface bars, which makes for an all-round better experience for the subject who is enduring the procedure. I got my first one, right in the middle and it’s only caused me problem upon problem as the piercer who did it (not John, although she works in the same shop) told me to keep it covered with an airtight dressing for a week, which did nothing but trap an infection under my skin, thus the problems.
I would recommend to anyone looking to have a healthy microdermal to take my advice and just leave it alone.

Dear ModBlog,
It was my friend Rachel’s birthday a few days ago, so she sent me a few photos to celebrate. Her microdermal horns are well healed, as are her arm implants, but the implants that accent the top of her hands are new work.
She’s asked that I keep the name of the practitioner private due to the negative atmosphere toward heavy mod artists these days… on one hand, implants, tongue splitting, and other mods are at an all time popularity-high, but at the same time, a new wave of uncertainty in regards to “medicine without a license” and other charges hangs over this community. Especially with prominent individuals on some modification forums promoting the idea that going after practitioners is a good idea — which I find deeply offensive — it’s probably a good time to go back to the oldschool method of having clients “screen” for artists and operating through word-of-mouth recommendation chains.
I’ll write again soon,

Dear ModBlog,
A little while ago my friend Sandy (Moritura) was in a car crash — that’s a picture of her above with her various implants and now-healed ear pointings… She’s just fine thankfully, and the good news from the crash is that she got a few x-rays that include her modifications!

“I had this put in a week previous to these pictures. You can see the remains of my nice shiner, but aside from the black eye, it was nearly painless and so far it’s healing beautifully. It was done by Josh at Fluid Ink Tattoos and Body Piercings in St. Paul, MN.
And now being Rainbowbrite for Halloween will be a piece of cake!”
