I just found out that Shannon Larratt, founder of BME, has passed away. There's a link in there to his final blog entry and it is gutting. BME was a huge influence on me when I was in my mid-20s and started getting into piercings and tattoos, and I sent in quite a few experience reports and procedural pics over the years. I drifted away over the years and only heard a little of the upheavals at BME but this really smarts.
