Nothing is quite as lovely as a modded wedding, and Cucuy’s and SteelGirl’s wedding was exceptionally so. Not only were his lovely wife and him sporting stretched lobes and other assorted visible mods, but so was their minister! When I found the wedding photos in the culture gallery, I had a damn hard time deciding which one to use. If you like cool wedding pics, I highly advise you flip through the other ones in the gallery or on Cucuy’s IAM page.
When I was a kid, someone told me “God is watching you…..even when you masturbate.” Obviously, that was not enough to stop me from handling my own business, but I have to admit that phrase haunted me a bit when I saw this tattoo.
As far as palm tattoos go, this piece by Sean “Dirty” Sanchez at Planet Ink (Ottawa, Ontario) looks to have as good a chance as possible of healing up ok. His use of a bold design and simple shading (that looks solidly packed in there) is the proper recipe for a well healed palm tattoo, but only time will tell if it holds up.
Summer is upon us! Time to get those winter bodies in shape and ready for the beach. There are few ways to get the body that you want that are more effective than some good old fashioned training with free weights.
No, this isn’t a “Guess What” post, ANY modblog regular should know damn well what that weight is attached to. However, to keep this on the work safe side of things we will put the obvious behind a click through.
This picture and many more of it’s type can be found in the Kokomi Gallery.
It’s hard to go to a US Tattoo Convention without seeing a performance by the lovely CRASH and for good reason, she has managed to flawlessly combine the sexy and the shocking in a way that appeals to a very large audience.
This picture is a perfect example of that. The look on her face as Jawn skillfully manipulates a long skewer through her neck makes the audience wonder if she is in excruciating pain or on the verge of an orgasm. Check out the picture after the break and you can decide for yourself, whether it was a face of pain or pleasure.

This facial flesh removal done By Lestyn at Divine Canvas in London, looks bold and striking when fresh and quite subtle when healed. I really dig the healed look on the right side personally.
To see both sides in their freshly cut glory, keep on keeping on.
While perusing the tattoo portrait galleries looking for potential modblog features I saw a TON of amazing portraits done by Javier (Jade) Campos at Arte Sagrado Tattoo in Lima, Peru. Seriously check out the gallery, then check out the shops web site. In the gallery there were portraits of Jim Morrison, Scott Weiland and about a dozen others. I of course, picked my personal favorite artist of the bunch, Mike Ness to feature here.
Summer is here, and you know what that means……beautiful tranquil outdoor suspensions!
Like, for example, this resurrection suspension set up by my friends in ihung. Check out that rigging plate, besides being a good way to plug the group name, it is also providing a nice support for this young lady to hold onto after coming down from her suspension.
To see her suspending, and to fully see the tranquil setting, keep on keeping on.
That handsome bearded man is Jason, a man who deserves a lot of credit for his contributions to the suspension community over the last several years.
PS: If you would like to partake in a beautiful outdoor piercings yourself, the upcoming ROP Campout in Pittsfield, Mass. would be a good time to do so.
Pauly is no stranger to modblog, In fact he has reached damn near celebrity status for his mods and particularly for his stretching. That is why so many people were shocked when he had Brian reconstruct his lobes from 3 3/8″ to nothing! Before you ask why, take a minute to read Pauly’s blog where he explains his motives.
I don’t know many practitioner’s, bod mod or medical, who have done more ear lobe reconstructions that Brian, and it is evident in the quality of this reconstruction. That’s a genuine compliment, I am not just being nice because it is that delightful sunuvabitch’s 35th birthday today either!
A lot of people tend to label me a redneck, seeing as how I have portraits of a lot of country music singers and the like tattooed all over my leg. Truth be told though, I love me some Dr. Dre and would definitely consider a portrait of him at some point. So I was stoked to see this well done portrait of him and Snoop.
The artist who did this, Andy Gubert who owns Exclusive Tattoos in Gotha Germany will be doing a guest spot at True Grit Tattoos in Burlington Ontario from August 28th until September 11th. If you want an appointment book it soon, as his spots are starting to go. You can book with him at True Grit Tattoos by either calling to set up a consultation with Tye or e-mailing [email protected]
At the Dallas Suspension Practitioners Convention, where the best of the best in the suspension community work together, you get to see the best of modern suspension rigging.
Take this photo Jared submitted for instance. The most noticeable variation of the rigging is the catch cups. How many times have we seen tandem suspensions done that took no precautions to reduce the risk of the lower suspendee being contaminated by the upper suspendee? These catch cups may not 100% isolate the lower suspendee from risk of contamination but they certainly lower the risk factor to a far more acceptable level.
The cord I am assuming is tech-12, (feel free to correct me if you were there and I am wrong on this) which has a ridiculously higher breaking strength than the 550 cord most suspension teams still use. Then there are the hooks, these particular hooks are made by Black Sheep Hooks and are an 8 gauge locking design with a higher breaking strength and the added safety factor of it being a locked design when compared to the mustads, which are far more commonly used. Then, of course, there is also an assortment of locking carabiners and high rated shackles.
