Badur send me a link to a “plasma blade” cutting tool, what seems like a big improvement on various electrocautery-type cutting tools… Should be amazing for procedures like subincisions…
As you can tell from the screenshot, the video is a little gory (Caitlin says “ewww! what is it!!! is it a baked potato with corn in it!?!?”)*.
Yes, João does have a life outside of suspending with his friends, to prove it he sent me five videos showing off his mad scar skillz, so I used my mad video whittling skillz and came up with this..
Dave K, the bloke wielding the hammer, sent me this awesome crucifixion footage (which contains flashing lights and was shot by Drew) of Rev. Shawn Lower of the band OnlyFlesh (amongstmanyotherthings) being well and truly nailed!
*Not that I’m one to talk - A few years ago the police knocked at our place in Norwich, England, because the next door neighbour’s young daughter had been watching me suspend (the inaugural suspension on the Body Evolution tower we built) in my birthday suit, suffice to say she burst into tears and ran to her mother, who called the cops. They were very good about it though and suggested that next time we put up higher screens to block the view.
“Another fun day at Sid’s Silver Anchor shop - this time focused on piercing. I have this marked as 1981, but the date could be a bit off. This series of clips features the infamous “Big Ed” Fenster, who later went on to use the Silver Anchor name for his upstart body jewelry company. As always, I hope you enjoy these glimpses into our history.
There’ll be more coming soon! - Shawn Porter/SPCOnline”
“This video dates to around 1985 and features Sailor Sid tattooing out of his Ft. Lauderdale, Silver Anchor tattoo shop. The lion’s share of Sid’s business came from the gay S&M community, and it wasn’t uncommon for both Sid and client to be fully nude during the process. The machine Sid is using is a rotary style tattoo machine, for those who’ve never seen one before - it was Sid’s preferred type.
Enjoy, and more later! - Shawn Porter/SPCOnline”
