Brittany sends us these photos from the Minneapolis, MN Zombie Pub Crawl she and her very bloody friends took part in recently and I have to say they are some of the cutest zombies I’ve seen in a while. You can see their clearly willing victim after the jump. With Brittany and her friends being BME fans, we have to wonder if if they’re using ketchup or the real deal.

Speaking of fresh blood, I’m looking for new authors. While I want to work on more interviews, which we haven’t had a lot of interviews lately, the quality of them has been stellar. BME has never had the opportunity in the past to interview legends like Bob Roberts of Spotlight Tattoo, we’re finally turning that corner where we’re able to get those interviews. This is where you come in. I’d like recruit new Moblog authors, writers and photographers to provide more convention and event coverage, and more chefs in the kitchen who have specific and dedicated interests in the various niches of BME. If you’d like to work with BME, please send me an email. I’d also like people to post suggestions as to whom they’d like to see interviewed. Just because we’re active in the BME community, doesn’t mean we get a chance to know about that kick ass piercer in YOUR TOWN or YOUR favorite Tattoo artist. I’d love to get foreign language interviews and posts as well. The more we can do to bring this world wide community together, the better. So post your feedback in the comments below or send me an email and lets get moving on bringing more great content and news out there.

I have some heavy mods interviews that I’ve been working on the past few weeks that I’ll be posting as soon as I get them edited together. That and I’m going back to working on the beta. Good things are coming and I’m looking forward to it. Hope you are too!

We’ll confess that we have a very hard time saying no to John Goodman tattoos—especially when some enterprising individual (in this case, Vincent Leblanc at Traditional Tattoo in San Luis Obispo, California) decides to combine his legendary performance as Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski with a goddamned zombie. Was Walter just not enough of a sociopath in the film that you had to give him an insatiable hunger for delicious brains, too? We approve, of course—Zombie Sobchak can get you a toe by three o’clock with the best of them. You may just have to extract it from his lower intestine.

As you’re all likely aware, whenever we come across modified professionals, we like to give them a little spotlight—it’s important for both members of the community as well as the “mainstream” to know that visible piercings, tattoos or anything else need not keep a skilled person from forging a particular career path. Well, up top there is Kasha, who, as you can see, has all manner of facial piercings, but hasn’t let that stop her from reaching her goal of being some sort of zombie-killing death merchant. As for the chunk of meat in that undead bastard’s mouth…merely a flesh wound, I’m sure. She’ll be fine.

And here we have Sao Paulo, Brazil’s O Corsario, showing off this brand new nightmarish zombie erotica, as tattooed by Berribilli. I’m liking the uncommon undead color scheme, all pinks and purples and lime greens. Kinda reminds me of a Vuarnet sweater I owned in the ’80s, except, you know, more brain-thirsty.
