Nip Split

This is one of those cautionary tales that somehow turned out all right in the end.  Of course, it took the help of three modification artists to make it happen, but I’d say it was worth it.  Here’s the story in Joeltron’s words.

Originally pierced at 12g and stretched WAY too fast to 12mm (by himself) with acrylic stretchers. Never a good thing, especially for this poor nipple! After the reconstruction they are nearly totally back to normal, except for a little bit of lost sensation.

So with the help of Howie and B-Slice, Joel was able to revert this nipple disaster.

Innies to outies

I regularly pierce clients who have inverted or slightly inverted nipples. Although it’s way more common than they’d think, most of them feel very self conscious about them and what they don’t realize is that in most cases, inverted nipples may be “corrected” by piercing.

This is a photo log of a client of mine who had severely inverted nipples and wanted to have them pierced in hopes of correcting them. She agreed to help me keep track of the healing progress by coming back once a week for updated photos.

To see the entire process, keep on reading.

Her nipples were so tightly inverted they couldn’t even be coaxed out for marking and I certainly had to get creative for the actual piercing procedure and placement.

The initial piercings went smoothly and the weeks following the client came in for weekly follow-ups with no issues. After six weeks with no incident, we decided that this was definitely a successful correction. I’m glad to have helped her out to take away her self-consciousness in regards to her nipples! LOVE thy nipples.

I did some digging and from what I can tell, we haven’t featured scalpelled nipples on ModBlog since 2008.  According to Gábor (IAM: Wyrd) the nipples were scalpelled to 6mm.  On top of the nipples, Gábor also did the tattoo on the back of the client’s hand.

And here’s a closer look at those hooks in his nipples.

This was all part of Mercury Suspension Team‘s Halloween show.

When it comes to scarification pieces, sometimes a detailed cutting isn’t what the person being scarred wants.  Sickpuppie here had his scars done by Kelly D, which fit nicely with his series of five microdermals.  Asymmetrical pieces such as this always evoke reactions from people, either positive or negative, simply because the human brain is wired to look for symmetry.  Combining the asymmetry with a minimalistic design really makes this project stand out as something fairly unique.

It also looks like one of his nipple piercings is diagonal while the other is horizontal.  You can see more scars, both minimal and elaborate in the scarification galleries.

Geared up for a scar

Earlier today we saw how the modifications on a young woman’s face really accentuated her beauty.  I thought I should even it up for those who prefer to see modified boys.  Now I’m not sure if the guy in the picture is a steampunk fan, a Gears of War fan, a mechanic, or something else entirely, but what I do know is that he really must like the gear design as that’s a lot of flesh that was removed for the scar.

So what do you think?  Does the scar on this guy work as well as the piercings and tattoos from the girl earlier today?

Checkmate

A few months back Jen posted a picture that got more than a few mouths watering.  Well it turns out the young man in that image, IAM: Arseniy Andersson is so much more than a pretty face.  While we all appreciate his modelling pictures, back at home in St. Petersburg, Russia he is also known for being a piercer and performance artist.  I’m not entirely sure of the story behind these images, but from what I can tell Arseniy threw the hooks for what appears to be some form of photo/video shoot.

Of course the question is, was the chessboard part of the shoot, or was it just something being used to kill time?  Photos of suspensions always seem to capture such fantastic moments.  I suppose when you know the subject isn’t going to be going anywhere, the photographer can really set themselves up for a beautiful picture.  So while it may be a couple suspended tandem over a stream, or a good looking guy playing chess while in an abandoned warehouse, the opportunity for an interesting image is always present.

Keep on reading to see a closeup of the man playing black.

While you do that, here’s a question to ponder:  If you could do any activity while suspending, what would it be?
