And here we have a fine photo of a coma suspension presided over/facilitated by Matthew Vermillion, he of Artistic Skin Designs, Inc., which has locations all over the damn place in scenic Indiana. With the vast amount of suspension photography that exists out there, it’s always nice to see interesting takes on things we’ve seen many times before. And this? We like this.

Hey, it’s been a minute since we’ve posted some bizarre animal tattoo, right? Unacceptable! Let’s right this egregious wrong with this piece by the folks who brought you Murder Penguin, artist Marcus Dove at Smiling Buddha in Savannah, Georgia, and the wearer, Jules, who, apparently, has some sort of thing for animals hanging out in Arctic locales and doing things they should not do. This photo arrived with the caption, “This is not where I parked my car,” which raises all sorts of questions. Why was a giraffe in the Arctic? Why did he think he parked his car at the icy peak of some horrible frozen death mountain? How was he driving in the first place? Why would he wear a scarf and nothing else? This tattoo is unrealistic and offensive to giraffes and mountains.

Our old pal Brian Decker has been getting quite a bit of play on our hallowed pages here lately, but man alive, he has just been on a tear the past little while, has he not? Last week we saw some impressive implant work from him, and now he checks in with this gorgeous “Arabic henna style” cutting on the hand/wrist/forearm of Heather, who we just saw the other day as well, covered in blood or something equally great. And, of course, we’ve got a few more shots after the jump, because that’s how we do it around these parts.

Welcome back, folks! Here’s hoping you had yourselves a fine weekend, full of whatever sort of saintly/sinful/gassy/etc. behavior for which you were hoping. Let’s get our week started on the right foot with the lovely Kier, straight outta Wasilla, Alaska, looking like the sweetest thing, sporting, among others, 12-gauge cheek piercings by Blake at The Hole Look in Anchorage, Alaska.
And just like that, it’s Monday again, ModBloggers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Happy Sunday, ModBloggers! Hope the day finds you well. We thought we’d pop in to post this great Sneetches tattoo by Darryl Torgerson from The Temple Decor in Kalispell, Montana, which was accompanied by the following passage:
That day, they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches, and no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches. That day, all the Sneetches forgot about stars, and whether they had one or not upon thars.
Granted, it’s no Green Eggs and Ham, which, of course, taught us all a valuable lesson about lunch, but this is pretty damn cute nonetheless. Oh, nostalgia.

Good God, well, if this isn’t a fine way to wrap things up this week, I don’t know what is. Two of our returning champions, Heather (more) and Tracie (more, more), covered in blood (or a reasonable substitute), hanging out at the Baltimore Tattoo Convention, and conveniently captured sharing a tender moment by the good folks with Metal Disco Photography. Whew. Yeah. Well…yeah.
And that, friends, will be that for this week. What kinda good times did we have this time around?
– Cats vs. Bees: The Revengening.
– LA Ink made some unwise personnel decisions, but at least wang tattoos can save your ass.
– GAHHHHHH KILL IT KILL IT SEND IT TO HELL
– One of the finer silicone implants we’ve seen in a while. Ahoy.
– You’re not a man until you learn to tie a bow-tie.
– A children’s treasury of dead celebrity tattoos! We are going directly to hell.
– And finally, don’t steal money to fund your body modification procedures, you grinning douchebag.
We’ll make a casual appearance or two over the next couple days, but come Monday morning, this ship sails ahead at full speed. Sounds good? Sounds good. Until then, friends, enjoy yourselves, stay safe and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME. We’ll see you soon.
Well hey, it’s BME’s resident knife-wielding maniac, Lunar, proving that, while he may not be the most efficient waiter ever, he suffers for his craft, man. Or, you know, is at least mildly inconvenienced. Also, he’s not actually a waiter. God, this story is full of holes. On the bright side? Those are some healthy looking one-inch lobes, and I get to break out the beloved “Hearty Beards” tag. Everybody wins!

You may not know it by looking at the picture, but this is, in fact, the very lovely Miss Duveaux (much more), letting her side-torso tattoo tell the tall tales of her supposed “trouble” for her. I mean, really—how much trouble could a girl who, I don’t know, covers her naked self in blood for Christmas really be? Exactly. One of the nicer (and definitely one of the more large-scale) script pieces we’ve seen in a while, unobscured by that pesky red sheer, after the jump.

And here we have Devigny, a graphic design student from scenic Quebec, making sweet love to the camera and showing off his 18 mm. lobes, plenty of fine tattoo work and, of course, ye olde sculpted pecs. Oh, you’d like more pictures, you say? We’ve got you covered.

Good morning, ModBloggers! Let’s start the day off with the lovely Finch (seen wearing substantially less clothing here) and this very pretty chest piece, featuring…huh, what is that? Some kinda falcon or something? I’m no ornithologist. If only there were some sort of indication of what kind of bird this is! Sigh. I guess some mysteries were never meant to be solved.
Whoa hey, and also, it’s Friday! We made it! Sometimes we’re so bad, we scares ourselves.
(Tattoo by Brian Hutflies at Warlock in San Francisco, California.)
