Occasionally Bostonist likes to hit our readers with a little bit of cul-cha (culture), but please don't think that this is your Granny recommending that you read some more Patricia Cornwell novels and join her for Bridge at the community center, or (in the case of some our readers) your professor forcing you to attend a production of "Midsummer Night's Dream" - no, no, no. Bostonist loves you more than that.

Remember when tattooing was illegal in Massachusetts? Ahahahaha. But seriously, every once and a while this town starts to feel wicked puritan. Luckily, we have Ray Aims, the Boston-based body-piercing performance artist. Tonight at Art Interactive, someone’s gonna get poked and laced live. Titled “Flesh and Foundation”, the performance will explore “the fine line between beauty and pain, structural integrity and decadence, the temporal and the seemingly infinite.” Part of Art Interactive’s Summer X Games events, the show will also include a set by DJ D’hana, video and exhibit art. Bostonist has walked by dozens of in-mall ear-piercings without batting an eyelash, but we have to admit that Aims' work looks quite moving.
