As I mentioned earlier, Dimitri from MTL Tattoo put together a number of piercing performance pieces. The first involved a woman covered in piercings, with string holding her in place. This next one involves a number of corsets, which he uses to create the illusion of lingerie.
To see how the corsets are arranged, you’ll have to keep on reading.
We get photos of performance art pieces all the time. Sometimes it’s suspension related, and other times it involves piercings. This one in particular is like nothing I’ve seen before, and it involves a lot of piercings.
There’s more to show you, but the rest don’t have any strategically placed arms, so you’ll have to keep reading to see them.
I know that the whole “hearing the ocean” applies to conch shells, but do nautilus shells work as well?
This shell scar was created by the lovely Miss Misty Forsberg, also known as Southtownbaby. She works at Southtown Tattoo in Fort Smith, AR.

Hey boys and girls, this here is Daniel 80. You can commence drooling now.
I’m sure someone, somewhere, is going to be offended by this, but that shouldn’t take away from the great job Roger LaDouceur did on this Pez Pope tattoo.

Well another week has gone by which means it’s time for another edition of the ModBlog News of the Week. After missing last week’s news there’s quite a bit to get caught up on, so lets get going.
Now a few weeks back I linked to a story about parents complaining that there is a Barbie doll being sold with temporary tattoos that is offending some parents. Well those offended parents must not have been keeping up on the latest Barbie news as they’re only now starting to complain about the Tokidoki branded Barbie.
The Internet is abuzz with the news that a recently released Barbie designed by the L.A.-based Tokidoki brand comes complete with a pale pink bob, stacked bracelets, an annoyed-looking pet named Bastardino (seriously) and, oh yeah, a ton of tattoos on her neck and shoulders. Media outlets such as U.S. News & World Report and The Telegraph have suggested (with meager evidence) parents are outraged that Barbie has been tattooed. And on television, concerns about the doll’s new ink and its impact on children have been raised on the “Today” show, “Good Morning America” and CNN.
But here in L.A., the folks at the Tokidoki offices are shaking their heads in wonderment at the media frenzy and fielding phone calls in amusement. It’s a lot of fuss over a $50 doll that has been marked “For adult collectors only,” they say. “The doll was meant for adult collectors. Only 7,400 were made; it’s only available online,” a spokesperson for Tokidoki told The Times. “It’s not like your kid is going to pick this up at Target.”
The Tokidoki Barbie, which became available for sale Oct. 6, is just one of a series of collaborations that Mattel has done with designers over the years. On Mattel’s Barbie Collector website, buyers can purchase a Barbie clad in a full leather cat suit designed by Christian Louboutin ($150), and a Countess Dracula Barbie with a deep-V dress that descends to below where her belly button would be, designed by Bob Mackie ($150).
For any Barbie related questions, please direct them to BME’s resident doll collector, and current owner of the Tokidoki Barbie, Jen.
Alright, there’s much more news to come, including a video that has been sent to me over 20 times in the past week.
Todays interview is the other half of Korpus Tattoo, Steve Cross. Well known in the scene he talks about how his early days as an artist and how he got to where he is today.
To check out the video, you’ll have to keep on reading.
It’s a BMEGirl post on a Friday! You can’t go wrong with a little Lauranomaly to brighten up your day.
Alright, so this isn’t a scar, but it is a follow-up to a post from a month ago, so hopefully it makes up for not having a scarification follow-up today. To start with, let’s take a quick look at the original, which was a cartilage removal done by Gabor Zagyvai.
So it’s been a month, here’s how it looks today.
From what I can tell it looks like it’s healed up almost perfectly. There were some comments about putting in heart shaped jewelry, but even without the jewelry it’s looking fantastic and can easily be shown off without anything in it.
So bad news folks, there weren’t any healed scars submitted this week, meaning there won’t be a Friday Follow-up today. However, I do have a fresh scar for you from Anders to tide you over until next week. And to all those scarification artists and people walking around with healed scars, send in those photos so we can keep the weekly follow-up posts going!
