Here Comes the Water


Hey, look, we make the occasional good-natured joke about the Angry Owl God, but it is never, ever with any malice. You know why? This. This is why. Do you have any idea the damage that can be done, the havoc that can be wreaked with just that umbrella? It is a vengeful creature, this god, in whose image we were not created, and for that, we are resented. Tread lightly. Hopefully, it will be appeased by being represented in such an excellent tattoo, complete with what could perhaps be a reference to Tool’s best song right above.

Fortune and Glory


So, the last time we saw Anna, she was in the process of cultivating a finely shorn look for summer, probably. It was a simpler time back then, back before her warm-weather jaunt to the Temple of Doom, where she clearly acquired a diabolical taste for sugary cereals served out of actual human skulls. So enchanted is she by this all-consuming bonelust that she does not even realize the wind has blown off her clothes. Why do the young people still insist on vacationing in those terrible catacombs?

A Bountiful Crop


Hot on the heels of this frame-worthy post from the good folks with Berlin, Germany’s Superfly Suspension, we’re quite pleased to publish yet another particularly striking shot from the crew. Sadly, we don’t have any other pictures to determine what the two hooks in this gentleman’s back are attached to, but if we were to hazard a guess, hmm, mistletoe? We’re going to say mistletoe.

The promo code to enter is BMEsale— now just fill yer cart and go to town, friends.

Their Geranium Kiss


Good morning, ModBloggers! Let’s kick off this here Thursday with this photo of famed international jewel thief, [name redacted], who, it just so happens, declined to reveal her identity when submitting this photo. How convenient. We are, of course, a fan of the lady-pompadour and the nearly symmetrical facial piercings, although we’re pretty sure we would personally go nuts if we were literally a single piercing away from such a feat. We think she can get away with it, though. Look at that face—not a jury in the world would convict her.

Our week’s almost over, folks—all in all, it’s no one’s fault.

You Prefer a Gentleman


Well hey, here we have the only half-evil (if that) Mr_Hyde, checking in from old Italia, showing off, among other things, that handsome cutting on his stomach by Lewis from Trimur Tattoo, in photos by Jacopo Lorenzini. This photo? We’ve got a click-through. After the jump, one photo does and one doesn’t. Guess which is which! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Quicker Than Dust


**wakes up**

**cleans self**

**puts on clothes and fall jacket**

**goes outside**

**melts immediately**

What’s that, summer? You’re sticking around for a while and robbing me of the chance to break out my earth-toned autumnal clothing? Well, fine. I am just going to enjoy a frosty cool beverage, then. I’ll be waiting.

Nature’s Onions


And finally, gentle ModBloggers, we conclude our broadcast day with the lovely Danae, whose presence on these here internets we always enjoy. Does it get much better than a pretty lady sporting some fine tattoo work, clean and subtle piercings and some fancy leather pants? No. No it does not. Well, OK, maybe if she bought the leather pants from a traveling salesman in the Ozarks. There is, happily, another shot after the jump. Until tomorrow.

Lie in the Light


Oh, what’s this? Another excellent scarification piece by noted intergalactic traveler Anders at Flesh Impressions in Broadbeach, Australia (more), you say? Yes, that seems to be quite in character for him, indeed. Here we see his work on familiar muse James, explained by the artist himself as such:

It’s an old handmade key design from late 1800s-early 1900s—a single line cut with cross hatching to give the key a handcrafted old look. When healed, it will be a subtle and discreet scar on the hand.

If the result of their last collaboration is any indication of how nicely James heals this sort of work, we can’t wait to see this new piece a little way down the line.

It Was Blue and Gold


And here, courtesy of the fine folks involved with Berlin, Germany’s Superfly Suspension crew, we have a suspension so nice you just want to hang it on your wall—which, um, was kind of the idea, apparently. This may have been done before (likely by the Superfly team themselves?), but we applaud a clever and well-executed take on suspension like this—one that’s a little more performance art than straight spectacle (not that there’s anything wrong with either, of course).
