Drunk Inking

Posted on March 11, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

I’ve commented in the past that I was going to get tattooed some time in Scotland because they let you drink beer while you’re having work done (or at least some people will)… Well, it seems like the Tiger Tattoo Bar in Pattaya, Thailand really must be part bar literally if the pictures of beer and cigarettes inside its walls aren’t misleading me.

He got stylized wings tattooed, and it looks like they turned out just fine (and arguably dramatically better than the average street tattoo in Thailand). Anyway,enjoy your weekend everyone — ModBlog returns next on Monday night.

178 Hook Suspension… world record?

Posted on March 11, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

I regularly see 30+ hook suspensions using small gauge hooks in the SM community, but in terms of upper limit world-record type stuff (as in numebr of hooks used in a suspension), I think Cali (assisted by Ascension and Birde-Mann) is the current winner with this 178 hook superman suspension.

Futurama Tattoo Sleeves

Posted on March 11, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Thanks to Daniel for sending me this sleeve of Bender, Fry, Nibbler, and others from the awesome show Futurama. As I understand it, Daniel is currently in Ireland training to be a hitman, assuming I’m not misinterpreting the name of his school.

35mm Lobes No More

Posted on March 11, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

This one goes out to all the piercers out there doing things like large gauge dermal punches on lobes. I don’t know if that’s what caused this lobe piercing to thin out and reject (it probably is not), but I can tell you that this “easy way out” method of jumping to larger gauge lobes can leave a person falling toward the situation below… If you want big healthy lobes, the best way is to go slow, gentle, and treat your body well. Yes, some people get lucky stretching recklessly, but don’t underestimate how heartbreaking it can be to lose big lobes.

(And don’t underestimate how quickly things can turn out like this if you make a wrong turn).

“POW!”

Posted on March 11, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Inner lip tattoos by definition are gimicky and don’t really turn out that well on a technical level… So you kind of are left with two main strategies with them I think. You can either make a personal and private philosophical tattoo that’s there for you only, or you come up with something goofy and funny that you can show off at parties. I like this one on Alexis (it’s the latter type).

(See also: miso, kimchee, and sluts and nutters).

Sure you are…

Say it with Metal

Posted on March 11, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Check out Bobby’s “XXX” piercings (as in straightedge, not as in pornerrific) by Se7en at Sinful Piercing in McMinnville, TN. The interesting thing is that since these will probably reject, if he actually leaves them in until they literally fall out, he’ll be left with a “XXX” scarification done using a very unique method!

Spider Web Ear Tattoo

Posted on March 11, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

Awwww, crap. I had meant to stop posting so many pictures from Shawn O’Hare (The Pain Parlor, Oxnard) because I feel like this blog is kind of getting saturated… but Phil put this one aside for me and didn’t tell me about who did it. It’s the tattoo that I most wanted to share with you, but of course the piercing is by Shawn. Either way, enjoy!

As requested and promised, here’s a model sheet for Laxie of the Laxie and Metaldude latex fetish bonus gallery in BME/HARD… There are actually quite a few more pictures of theirs spread across BME that were posted before their bonus gallery was created, so if you’re interested in finding them, check out the modified women and girl+boy galleries also.

Depeche Mode Tattoo

Posted on March 11, 2006 by Shannon Larratt

As a point of trivia, the text (the sort of dot-matrix effect) was her first tattoo, and then Heidi Hay added the band caricatures later. I’m assuming that’s album art or something along those lines, but I definitely think this is better than most band tattoos I get (or maybe I’m just a sucker for cartoons).
