Guiche piercing. I had a guiche 'implant' done a few months ago. I went from not having one to 8mm by surgical procedure (scalpal). It's taken it's time healing which I expected and it's 'there' in so far as it's now settled down but what I'm finding difficult is selecting the right jewellery. I've tried several bcr style but the ball end is actually lighter than the ring and it therfore migrates and becomes uncomfortable. The only 8mm guage insertion ring I can find is too large in diamater. I guess I'm looking for anyone that has a larger piercing here for ideas on what is most comfortable daily and for play. In addition, where the heck to you get hold of the larger size jewellery in smaller diamater with enough room however to hang some weights on - the original idea! In Berlin recently I found a bcr that looked ideal but the ball was not screw in and although we finally got it open in the shop, there was no way the guy in-house could get the ball back in situ once it was in place!!!! Any input greatly appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.177.226 (talk) 11:58, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Body Modification articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Body Modification articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

my grandparents are one of the Borneo's race that tattooing. both of my grandmothers (my father's mother and my mother's mother) are tattooed from their young ages. even though the tattoo fading as they got older, the pale green color of the tattoo are clearly seen. i remember that one of my grandmother told me she was interviewed unofficially by a man that is interested to her long ears. the problem was, my grandmother do not understand English at all and that poor man also do not know how to speak Malay. she though that that man tried to rope her because he always followed her and said "stop!stop!". thank to my auntie, she explained the situation. each race, has their own shape of tattoos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Delbora (talk • contribs) 04:29, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
