APP Podcast With Perk900


Hey, remember when I said I had a fun surprise this week? I wasn’t lying! Live from the parking lot of one of Las Vegas’s finest Del Taco establishments, this afternoon we caught up with Brian to see what sort of excitement’s been going on during the first few days of this year’s Association of Professional Piercers convention. Among the topics of conversation: good times at a shooting range, the brick shit-house that is Buck Angel (evidenced by he and Sarvas disrobing for a photo together) and the lethal combination of the boner pill Cialis and grapefruit juice. And, of course, much, much more. Get it below. Get it.

(Ed. note: The sound is a little fuzzy at times, but I cleaned it up as best I could. Brian was in a bit of a noisy area. We’ll forgive him.)

Peace Comes Looking


Good day, fair ModBloggers! Let’s kick things off on this vaunted “Mustache Wednesday” with this shot of Efix (second from right) hanging out with Jay, Nik and Frank, all showing off varying degrees of successful facial hair. But hey, it’s the thought that counts, right? As the saying goes, a man without a mustache is like tea without sugar. Another spoonful, after the jump.

What Everyone Knows


That’s Jon up there, sporting a handsome Boysetsfire-inspired chest-piece by Derek Hutchinson at Sacred Skin South in Des Moines, Iowa. (The quoted lyrics: “This crying, this screaming, my voice is being born.”) The whole piece is nicely done, but the fetal character in the center is particularly well rendered. Also this just made me remember that, back in the day, I always used to get Boysetsfire confused with Boy Hits Car. Because I’m an idiot.

Inflame the Minds


If you’ve been around BME for a while…you almost surely know where this is going. A small, DIY, heart-shaped brand? C’mon…take a guess.

A couple of click-throughs, after the jump.

Dead Leaves Scatter, Hour by Hour


The last time we featured Jen‘s work here, we were looking at these heavy-duty clavicle cuttings. Now, however, she sends in this lovely sunflower scarification, done in three-and-a-half hours — one of the last pieces she did at Tattoo Angus before moving to Philadelphia for her new position at Infinite. Check out another shot, after the jump.

“Boom Shiva”


It’s been a while since we’ve featured a piece from Swastika Freakshop here on the ol’ ModBlog (no, really, it has!), so here we have yet another epic backpiece by Marc, this one coming in under the title “Boom Shiva.” As always, holy hell is there a lot to like about Marc’s work, and this is no exception.

What Will Be Seen


Well hey, it’s Matthew and some friends, getting ready to do some painting, I see? Well, if you guys need any help, you just let me kn-

…oh. Well…hey, yeah, I guess that’s a good way to make sure you don’t get any paint on your clothes. If it’s all the same to you guys, though, I think I’ll prob-

Yeah I’ll be in the kitchen if you need me.

I’ll Rise


Continuing today’s love affair with Russia, here we have a heart-shaped implant by Moscow’s Sergey Tyler (of Tattoo Factory) in the hand of, hmm, a corpse? Wait, no, that’s not dirt—it’s just harmless blood. Ha, well, don’t I feel sheepish. Really though, great picture; first person to claim it was Photoshopped gets a stern lecture from The Iron Sheik. Don’t think he won’t do it.
