Pro Pierce

lilah wild — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:03:55 +0000

Body jewelry from Australia, which offers the standards in a wide range of elements: glitter plugs, nip shields, titanium flesh tunnels, a Trojan line which weaves eyeballs through your skin, Blackline navel tombstones, UV everything, all the basics rendered in surgical stainless steel, molten glass, silver-inlaid buffalo horn, polyester lucite, and other materials. The Voodoo Rising page is not to be missed if you’re into mean, nasty biker rings.

Body Modification Ezine Shop

lilah wild — Tue, 18 May 2010 16:21:16 +0000

The retail offshoot of a long-running body art site, a catalog that feels chosen on the basis of all the good – and bad – designs they must have seen over the years. Glass, mother of pearl, brass, wood, stainless steel, stone, and silicone, with an emphasis on clean craftsmanship whether in basics or spiralling off into ornate pieces. Also, piercing supplies and sensory toys.

Dreadworx

Dread care and decor. They stock all the waxes, shampoos, conditioners, and tighteners needed for healthy maintenance, plus dyes and bleach, and special combs and anti-frizz tools to keep everything neat. Tams, wraps, wooden hairpins, and beads with little googly eyes make up the adornment section, and they’ve got some unusual specialty products to cut down on all the little frustrations that can come with knotting up your hair: microfibre towels to halve drying time, showercaps and sock hats for keeping all the locks out of the way while bathing or sleeping, rubber bands that won’t quickly snap to death. Also body polish, club toys, ear stretching kits, and a little hemp clothing.

Steel Navel

lilah wild — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 20:46:54 +0000

Gigantic array of body jewelry from Industrial Strength, Half Tone Bodyworks, Gorilla Glass, Tawapa, Kaos Softwear, Diablo Organics, Borneo Joe’s, Little Seven, Metal Mafia, and quite a few more. The gamut runs from shiny rings to coral plugs, coconut shell swirls through glass claws, lots to look through and they also have a bit of body-mod aftercare stuff too.

Reign Custom Design

lilah wild — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:37:58 +0000

High-end body jewelry that mixes earth and metal and dazzle into sleek bits of shine for the ears: plugs filled with bullets, copper and brass, stone cabochons, and sparkling gems every color of the rainbow. The weighted pieces run to silver hoops and organic spirals, with elegant “reign drops” captured in stainless steel.

BodyPunks

lilah wild — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 22:59:53 +0000

Body jewelry staples with some interesting finds scattered throughout: plugs that look like the bobbins from a sewing machine stoppered with gemstones, belly ring monsters, UV labret cones, vibrating tongue rings, nip shields, stretching claws. Also clothes from Dickies, Iron Fist, and Tripp along with megaton of t-shirts.

Liquid Fire Mantra

lilah wild — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:02:46 +0000

An eclectic delve into the world’s religions, capturing defining metaphors and visualizations within pendants and body jewelry. Lotus compasses outlined in crystals, Celtic goddess triquetras, intricate tangles of silver snakes, gemstones throned within mandalas, the earrings present some of the hanging plugs in 18-gauge versions. Also, elven ears!

Fat Chance Bellydance

lilah wild — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:03:30 +0000

An American Tribal Style studio equipped with a boutique of all the costuming essentials. Cholis of cotton and velvet, voluminous skirts, fringe belts, veils, tribal body jewelry and sparkling hair flowers, the practicewear of kneepads and legwarmers, and a few holster bags from Wild Card. Also kohl and henna and tiny pocket mirrors shaped like mosques.

Finders Creepers

lilah wild — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:02:21 +0000

A Des Moines art gallery specializing in the dark and morbid. Shameless pulp, unsettling black and white photography, surrealistic cartooning, the styles are diverse with a welcoming vibe towards outsider artists. Besides signed prints, they also showcase other horrific wares: monster masks, horror movie tees and toys, scream-filled pop art pendants, body jewelry that leans towards the demonic, evil dolls, and if you’re in the area, the in-person items include such delights as a “vintage case full of dead stuff.”

Robot Piercing and Tattoo

lilah wild — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:49:30 +0000

A large, diverse catalog of body finery: amber flower plugs, silver lotus eyelets, all kinds of silver hoops and fringy shoulder-dusters, septum mustaches, striped glass spirals, hanging shapes sprouting wings and fins and intricate curlicues, ear weights taking on the forms of little animals, plus a selection of antique and repro tribal jewelry.

Quetzalli Jewelry

lilah wild — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:37:25 +0000

Exquisite body jewelry crafted from natural elements. The plugs are bits of miniature art: wood carved into tiny mandalas, amber circling itsy-bitsy hummingbirds, the spirals of ammonites curling up inside silver windows. Filigree crawls over the hoops and swirls of earrings, opals are set to flash beneath the lips, fossils are shaped into ear weights, just lovely. The filigree also pops up on intricate hairpins. Custom welcome.

Jannis Erotic Jewellery

lilah wild — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:25:10 +0000

While the name kindles images of intimate adornment, this site looks like a sci-fi villain’s treasure chest. Necklaces that wrap around the back, menacing pointed chokers, demonic codpieces, “alien lockets,” daggers and axes, bold chunks of gemstone, much of it made with secret compartments and hidden doors. Even glasses can be reworked for a subtle bit of futuristic style. And they do deliver on the erotic front – these are nipple shields ready for battle.

Body Candy

lilah wild — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:34:00 +0000

Body jewelry of the crystal charm-dangling kind, but also a go-to source for blinking bellybuttons and chaos nips. Good for basics and replacement pieces, and they have all the standards of plugs and monroes and sparkles for intimate parts, but where this site really shines is in the grand array of over-the-top nipple rings: tribal flames, spiderwebs, swagged chains like tiny medieval necklaces, saw blades, demon jaws, and most psychotic of all, Christmas jingle bells.
