As you may know if you read my personal blog, my brother is among other things currently ranked number three in the world in the unlimited class of arm wrestlers (assuming I understand the rankings). Because of that I’ve gotten to know Gary from ARM TV (if you go there you can watch the DEVON LARRATT VS. RON BATH match in streaming video) a little…
Arm wrestling is kind of like body modification (and it involves some serious body modification!) in that it’s a massive subculture that’s spent most of its history invisible to the outside world, but is now exploding in popularity.

I understand your impatience, but don’t hassle Shannon. He knows we love Modblog and if he hasn’t updated recently he probably has a lot on.

I don’t understand why getting a tattoo of something that you are passionate about is a bad idea.

I agree with E-money, If they feel that passionate about something let them do it.

Hello Shannon,
thanks for posting the picture. It was an honour to meet you and find out about bmezine.
I run the website that the tatoos of the above picture represent and I let my members know that I would offer a life time membership to the first 3 people who showed me a tattoo of our site and these guys were the first!! 🙂
I didn’t realize what body modification was until I met shannon…so I TOO have learned something!!
thanks again.
