Good day, ModBloggers! Let’s begin with our day with the well-coiffed Simon, representing Turnhout, Belgium, with a fine bio-mechanical sleeve by Joe Dynamite at Antwerp’s Glorybound Tattoo and some manner of Venus knee-traps by the man of our dreams, Lionel from Out of Step (more). After the jump? Boxer briefs.
I just assumed this was a Lionel Out Of Step piece when I first saw it, but no! Bested again! This chest tattoo, belonging to kipich, was in fact done by Montreal’s own Yann Black at Glamort. I love tattoos that are creative with their use of space, so this? This really does it for me, not to mention the sleeve and the scarification. High marks all around.

We saw her just the other day, but I thought it was about time we checked in with the lovely MeltBanana to see how her wild palm-print scarification (by Lukas) is healing. Up above is the piece six months in and, while I’d love to get a color photo at some point, this is coming along superbly.
And just like the sands of time, friends, another week has run itself down. What did we learn this time?
- Everybody likes girls in high heels with breast microdermals, the end.
- If you’ve got syndactyly, just cut them bitches apart. Or, alternately, get a cute tattoo.
- Hey, check out some readers’ book suggestions over here.
- The lovely Samar just can’t take a bad photo, suspending or otherwise.
- Tattoo Highway is the mountain-top of reality television, or something.
- Lionel slays, every time, without exception.
So that was fun! You know what happens next. We’ll pop in throughout the weekend and, provided Thomas Pendleton and crew don’t run me over with their bus, we’ll be back to full strength come Monday morning. Until then, have fun, stay safe and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME.
Hey, that was an exciting-ish day, right? A Lionel tattoo, L’il Mister Strange, and a glorious running diary of one of those newfangled tattoo reality shows. Let’s wind down with this beautiful scarification project composed of Hindu iconography—Trishula, Om and Swastika. Two months into the healing process, these pieces were done by Dimitri working out of Officina in Milano, Italy. Between the precision of the design and the evenness of the way they’re healing, this is shaping up to be a truly gorgeous piece. Sleep on that, ModBloggers. We’ll see you tomorrow.

Not everybody is a fan of the work Lionel from Out of Step does, and understandably so. Much of what he does runs counter to many tattooing traditions, with a huge emphasis on embracing negative space, rather than filling up pieces with as much ink as possible. This above piece is less a tattoo and more a performance; it looks to me like the lines don’t actually go all the way around various body parts, so outside of this pose, she likely just looks as if she’s sporting semi-randomly occurring scar-like lines. Maybe not for everybody, but this sure does it for me.
See the other side, after the jump.
Hey, we’ve featured his work once or twice before, and, if I’m not mistaken, he’s really filled out his facial tattoo work since he was last pictured, so here’s Marc of the world-famous Swastika Freakshop, sporting some handsome work by Lionel from Out of Step (who has also been shown here on occasion). Clearly this was just an attempt by the two of them to be included on ModBlog again. There is literally no other explanation.
Well, here is some typical European vulgarity, courtesy of known curse word aficionado Lionel from Out Of Step (more), who is just tremendous. Now, you may ask yourself, “Why is some waffle-faced puppet walking a tightrope with an umbrella that keeps the rain in, apparently, while wearing a smock that reads ‘Go fuck yourself’ in Lucifer’s preferred tongue (French)?” And the answer, of course, is…magic?
It’s that time of the week, ModBloggers—this bird’s gotta fly.
(Tattoo by the excellent Lionel from Out of Step, who’s got such a singular style and has been featured on ModBlog several million times. We’ll feature some more of his stuff very soon.)
So what went down this week, friends?
- Hey, we like nice, simple piercings.
- The incredible Sean Karn wowed us all again, as per usual.
- I did a really fun podcast with Brian/Perk900, live from the APP! (There’s more where this came from, too.)
- Oh yeah, check out this awesome, exclusive video of Rob Spence, a.k.a. EYEBORG.
You know the deal: Check back this weekend for some good stuff, and we’ll be back to full crushing potential come Monday morning. Until then, take care of yourselves, ModBloggers, have some fun, and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.
Lionel from Out of Step that is..

You know that I’m a big fan of Lionel’s tattooing, so I was very pleased to hear that he may make it to New York this December — if you want to get work from him while he’s in the United States, drop him a line via his website. Either way, enjoy the bunny sleeve.
