All Darkness Near


Really beautiful set of photos here featuring the lovely Samar, who is no stranger to the ol’ ModBlog, with a suspension-assist by Erik Dakota and Andrea Costantino, who did the eight eight-gauge piercings involved here. Do we have a name for this variation yet? If not, well, think on it, ModBloggers. In the meantime, more pictures are just after the jump.

Trendspotting: Animal Carcasses


So, here is a fun new style all the fashionistas are latching onto these days: attractive women wearing dismembered animal heads as nightmare-inducing masks! Here is bad_bunny (more) sporting the latest in, hmm, horse skulls? With suspension hook tattoos by Jsin at Bloodlines Tattoo in San Rafael, California, and the photo, “Intimacy” by © g r o u n d f l o o r.

After the jump, another pretty lady in a flesh helmet.

This, of course, is local favorite meltbanana, whose Zpira-done cutting has been featured before, albeit without the big ol’ pig face.

Never Burn Your Buns


This ancient, murderous, mustachioed sea-demon dragon has been summoned by bad_bunny, who is likely going to use his powers to, I don’t know, destroy a castle, or perhaps steal a bejeweled sword? Probably one of those. And as if such dragon-summoning prowess is not impressive enough, bad_bunny has also been known to perform now and then with both Allen Falkner and CoRE, doing suspensiony things. Watch her handle a chain, after the jump.
