@Ursula – Most of them are still there, from 2008 going back to 2002, but they’ve been refiled and the indexing is a bit wonky. The URL you need is:
http://news.bme.com/tag/the-publishers-ring/page/1/
and you just increment the page number at the end to see the older ones. There are 13 pages altogether.

Her jewel eye implant experience, and a tattoo convention report from 2004 is all that’s left in the Publisher’s Ring, all of Shannon’s great articles and interviews have been scrubbed, so sad. I wonder Shannon if you kept a log of them somewhere where she could not delete them, I used to love reading them.

# Shannon on January 2nd, 2010 at 8:00 pm:

BTW, while Howie improved on it and refined it as a practitioner, that technique was “invented” by me. The idea came from seeing how Rachel’s eyeball implant was done, and I thought that if you’re planning a single color or otherwise non-sharp-edge eye tattoo, that you could just inject the ink between the same layers, in the same way that they injected saline into her eye to create the bubble for the implant.

Her experience is here on the site somewhere if someone wants to link to it.

Ja sure Shannon, next thing you know you’ll try and convince us that you STARTED BME or some other lame unbelievable stuff like that

Just so that there’s no confusion in anyone’s mind, that last post wasn’t mine, by the way.

Whilst my namesake is, of course, entitled to his opinion, personally I continue to support BME – as the site which Shannon founded – despite its faults.

I think it’s a good policy never to take any notice of bme anymore.

I do wish you could have posted an additional update to your experience outlining the long-term results of the tattoo and the resolutions of some of the problems you encountered.

i hope they all give credit where credit is due. i also think it would be interesting to keep track of who gets/does this proceedure as a way of seeing how a new mod spreads from underground to popularity. here is a rare chance.

id like to do mine with UV ink, but i would expect that to mess up my vision.

Shannon – I’ve just spotted on Modblog that your comment has now been added in fact – two days later. It’s currently #19 in the thread.

Honestly, thats my biggest complaint with BME at this point. I don’t think their allowing an open enough forum for discussion. There are other keywords too I believe.

@Nikk – In fact no: I’d made previous ones which were all accepted straightaway, and a subsequent post too in response to the Year-End awards. It was only the one “offending” one in which I’d been rash enough to use the word Shannon which got moderated.

I actually sent you an email about the prison eyeball tattooing last month. i saw it on a show called “Lockup Colorado Extended Stay: Pain”

I just posted another comment on Modblog because it seemed like no one was sure if a tattooed eye would heal.
I said to look at your eyes and see how it settled as an example.
…awaiting moderation :/

@don; Do a lot of your posts on their get moderated too?

When I saw that on TV I was thinking “I bet they will have a printout from BME” and of course when the COs found the printout of instructions there you were with your eyeball. It’s funny how small things you do in your life can become such a huge focus- at least for a few minutes.

I posted a comment on here somewhere when I saw it air – they actually had printouts of your article with a pic that clearly showed your forehead

I saw that episode and thought, “I know where they got that idea!” I hope you get proper credit where credit is due.

I honestly can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen that first pic of you, on your side with eyeball freshly blue’d, posted somewhere in the internets with a “wtf?” not far away. <3

Nikk – That was 100% my conclusion, too.

I think your name is actually used as a key word for posts that require moderation.

I made a comment on ModBlog recently on the allegedly racist tattoo issue, which was held “awaiting moderation” but then subsequently posted in its entirety.

I can see the logic behind so-called ‘first comment moderation’, but I do which they’d be more honest with people over the extent to which it’s being done otherwise.

I was honestly a bit surprised you weren’t mentioned in the post. I thought your face being the first picture of it you’d get some credit.
