Oh, brother. It’s 12:30 already? Man alive. How about we keep the lights down low for a while, eh? What do you say, ModBloggers? Glad we’re in agreement.

The very talented intergalactic traveler Anders the Piercing Guy checks in with these recent (and rare) vertical lowbrets, done with 1-1/8″ straight barbells. These are the first such piercings Anders has done since 2005, he says, but one won’t find oneself in much better hands than his. Best of luck with the healing process, fella.
A couple more angles, after the jump.

If you listened to my last podcast with Brian (Perk900), you heard the story behind this picture. But if not! Well, Sarvas was minding his own business at last week’s APP convention in sunny Las Vegas, just walking around, but oh, the trail was blocked, by Buck Angel. A photo was requested, and each man insisted upon removing his shirt before any evidence of their meeting was recorded, and then Sarvas just started throwing Buck around like a damn rag doll. For more fun Vegas anecdotes, listen to my subsequent podcast with Brian, coming soon!
And that’ll be it for our week, folks. What went down this time around?
– Our scars healed beautifully.
– We got tattooed with a cat, just for kicks.
– We showed you our whole mouth, and you liked it.
– We went a-tightrope walkin’.
– We just straight up went crazy.
As per usual, we’ll be here a bit over the weekend, and then Monday morning we hit the ramp and fly back into orbit, clutching the little alien that’s grown so dear to us. Or something. Until then, stay safe, ModBloggers, have a good one, and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.
We’ve had our love on for all things asymmetrical lately, which is fine! It’s fine. But, lest we neglect to pay tribute to someone like Bedfordshire’s Laura, and cherish their fearful symmetry.
Boy oh boy, would you believe my luck? Baphomet shows up on a sunny Friday afternoon, and me without my BFG 9000. Of all the days to forget it at home…

Maybe Cory down there avoided the train’s ghostly remains, but as we can see, jane.jones has cast her lot with the water demon on her side. In all seriousness though, the combination of traditional tattoo elements really works nicely here (and is a little more comprehensible than this gleefully insane melange). Also interesting to note is that no color alteration has been done to this photo; the world is actually sepia where she lives (Canada).

Up top? That’s Cory, who sends in a set of photos shot by his friend, Brian Gurnee. The train tracks you see are allegedly haunted by The Hookerman, though luckily, neither Cory nor Brian were, what, hooked? Hookered? Either way, glad you’re safe, gents.
More shots, after the jump.

Hey, so, first things first, this here is a band from scenic Canada, North America, called The Ending, who have just filmed the fancy video for their song “Freakshow” that you see above. Now, normally, we don’t give preferential promotional space to bands (other than Pearl Jam, who I will promote forever and so help me God you will like it), but what do you know, they’ve got people doing all sorts of fun sideshow stuff in the video! Also, it features BME super-hunks Orbax, Sweet Pepper Klopek and Russ Foxx! Go look at your friends, people.
Moving right along, how would you like to be on television? Specifically, MTV? Well, here’s some pertinent information!
MTV’s True Life is casting for an upcoming episode and seeks young people, 16-26, at odds with their parents over their relationship; mainly because of their significant other’s interest in tattoos or body modification.
You can email your situation to [email protected], and be sure to include your name, age, location, phone number, and recent photo of yourself.
If anyone who reads this is featured on the show, please do everything you can to infiltrate MTV and punch everyone on The Hills in the balls.
And finally, apparently Playboy is too fancy to allow embedding of their videos, but this here is some kinda folk song dedicated to the Denver Nuggets and their tattoos. The Nuggets, who advanced to the NBA’s Western Conference Finals last night, are pretty much, to a person, covered from elbow to asshole in tattoos. The song isn’t hilarious, but hey, sports + tattoos + acoustic guitar + Playboy = Welcome to ModBlog!
The last time we saw Brooklynn, it looked liked she was on her way out. Well, thankfully, she’s come back to us, and she’s sporting some fancy Gorilla Glass plugs to boot. A triumphant return, indeed.

Mark Sunday at Luck of the Draw checks in with some handsome pieces from his portfolio—a pair of dreamy underwater scenes, this one of a murderous jellyfish. What’s the rule about jellyfish, again? You’re supposed to pee on one if it’s attacking you, right? No? Ah, I’m no good with sea monsters.
After the jump, some serene and colorful fish, swimming around in nature’s aquarium.
