Just dropped a proud $300 at Cultizm for (IMO) the greatest all-around pair of denim I've ever laid my internet eyes on. Old Blue Co. - Ultimate Beast 25oz Loomstate 5th Anniversary Special in 8.25" cut
Only 100 pairs made, and this was literally the last of 2 available for sale. I lucked out and got my size, 32, and the other is a ridiculous size 26 in 7.5" cut - lol. Here's to hoping they're as awesome in person. I also went crazy and dropped about $165 on the coolest pair of braces I've seen: Tender Co. & Morten Kristensens's For Holding Up The Trousers - Blue Tattersall Suspenders   |

I have a pair of Nicks boots in the same color that I cant wait to start wearing in the fall. |

Purchased an Apadravya piercing yesterday. Technically I'm wearing it so thought this would be a good forum to post in. Also, none of you actually know me IRL so I can (admittedly) be an attention whore without risking my coworkers finding out and labeling me a deviant. SFW pic of said piercing:  |

SFW pic of said piercing: So you got an ampallang? I was seriously thinking about doing that for a few years but never did it. I was super into this book when it came out, way back in the old days, before all the kids were doing it. I ended up with a bit of black work but stopped. Have not had anything done in like 23 years.  |

I got an Apadravya, it's vertical instead of the horizontal Ampallang. I was mildly interested in scrotal piercings as a post grunge middle schooler and gave myself a couple with safety pins. Spent some time at the local nude beach over the summer and my interest was renewed due to the male piercing sightings. First professional piercing but I have some tattoos with plans to get at least one more before the year's over. Never seen that book, I'll have to check it out. |

I guess I'm missing something here, but I say whatever floats yer boat. Well one thing that many people don't know is that there are functional benefits to having your bannana pierced in certain ways. After it heals.........of course. And after you get someone to agree to allow you to "use" it with them. Some negatives are healing, peeing sitting down, and getting said agreement, and that having a pierced bannana may interfere with safe sex practices. And if you think getting it pierced is bad, you should see what the Japanese do with pearl sized implants. I got super excited in like 1990 I stumbled upon a store in Columbus that had some jewelry that was brought back from Africa. I walked out of there with a larger hoop earring that came to a point and the gauge got thicker at the end. I also walked out with an earring slightly larger than a quarter that had a gauge about as big around as a nail. SO I used the first earring to stretch the hole in my ear to get the second earring in. This was way before different gauge needles were readily available or that piercing shops were anywhere much outside of I think mostly SF at the time in CONUS. TLDR: The book Modern Primitives is an early example of piercing and tattoo culture that used to be an outsider culture. 27 years after it's initital publication many of the practices detailed inside are now mainstream. |

I'm in Portland so yeah, there's a bunch of body mods that are even more mainstream than the national average. The piercer who did mine said Prince Alberts are fairly common and he even does 2-3 Apadravyas a month. My wife was hesitant about this at first but got on board after reading up on the "benefits" for a bit. She has tattoos and piercings as well so she's far more open minded of such things as a result. You're right though, it's incredible how taboo certain things were such a short time ago and how accepted they are now. |
