Greetings, ModBloggers! Let’s kick off the day with Alex’s nicely healed pointed ears, as pointed by the man with Brooklyn’s shiniest scalp, xPUREx. This is a pretty dramatic pointing, but these photos were taken a year after the procedure and, near as we can tell, no complaints. Huzzah.

And here we have a couple of photos from an anonymous benefactor of Za, offering further proof that (some) redheads may, in fact, still have their souls. Too small a sample size? Maybe. Clearly, we need more pictures. After the jump, see where our model keeps her sugar skull hidden.

I really like this approach to your everyday pirate ship by Shawn Carrier at The Ink Spot in Ottawa, Ontario. Wait, now that America (and by extension, the world) is under attack by actual pirates, all the time, is being a fan of the old school “Argh, matey!” pirates somehow uncouth? Should it be? This is a debate that needs to happen. What say you, ModBloggers?

Good morning, ModBloggers! Say hello to Corinne, who, really, just wanted to show off her split tongue, and was worried we wouldn’t be able to see it in all its glory. I think the view is just fine.

In the future, after the last newspaper has burned, the Internet has eaten itself and various Twitter and Tumblr robots murder each other in the streets all day, every day, we will have no choice but to get our news from the tattoos of the townsfolk. Adam is just setting the pace with this combination Swine/Avian Flu (“Flying Pig Flu,” of course) tattoo, which will undoubtedly be the final straw for humanity. Either that or some sort of Scientologist dinosaur meteor. If you only bet on one apocalypse scenario today, make it one of these. Thank you for your continued support of BME Casinos. We’ll see you tomorrow.

As part of our continuing mission to bring you the best in healed and healing scarification pieces, here’s a fancy update to this facial flesh-removal on Reece by Iestyn a little while back. It’s no big surprise coming from Iestyn, but the healing seems to be coming along quite nicely. We’re not sure what else Reece has planned (tattooing over the scars a la Lucky Diamond Rich, for example), but we’re definitely curious to see how his appearance progresses from here on out.
And, of course, after the jump…lion-face.

Hey, smiley! I love this shot of Torrie, enjoying the weather and sporting some fancy new plugs; if summer ran a promotional campaign, it would probably look a little something like this. Almost makes me want to buy a pair of shorts! Almost.

Good morning, ModBloggers! Let’s kick things off with the lovely Auxo, Paloma in her lap, getting worked on by a gent who may very well look familiar. (His sleeve, at the very least, should set off some alarms.) Oh, what’s that? You’d like some more shots from this series? I think we can do that. You know where to look.

What more can we say about John Joyce and gogo_savvy? When they get together for scarification work, it’s like lamb and tuna fish, and this henna-inspired cutting is no different. As always, I hope we’re kept in the loop as this one progresses, because if her other cuttings are any indication…sweet sassy molassy.

“Sometimes,” says Justin (previously), “bad ideas can turn into awesome ideas!” Oh, really? You mean like breaking into a tattoo studio and snapping photos like a common paparazzo while Rey Mysterio Jr. gets his ass tattooed? I guess if you’re the sort of guy who eats hurricanranas for breakfast, then, yes, that would probably be a good idea.
