I love this picture of Steve standing ominously over twin resurrection-suspendees Dani Danger and Cari at a recent Life Suspended gig at the Arizona Fetish Ball. I have to say, though, Steve’s outfit looks like it doesn’t breathe at all, especially in a hot nightclub—someone get this man a Snuggie!

Here’s a nice change of pace from traditional “permanent makeup,” with this leopard-print eye shadow by Jessica at Forbidden Body Art in Portland, Oregon. A close up of the ol’ swollen peeper, after the jump.

So apparently, old Mother Nature doesn’t give a good goddamn that today is the holiest of holies, opening day, and has decided to blanket much of North America in hated snow and sleet and rain, just to be a bitch. Well, luckily, her awful bitterness hasn’t extended to Glasgow Poitiers, France, where the lovely Possessed is just hangin’ out in the sun, pickin’ daisies and stickin’ them through her septum piercing, as one is wont to do on such a summery day. Must be nice.
Anders, who’s been featured on ModBlog several million times, checks in with these very nicely executed swallow scarifications. I say it often, but watching the vast, constant improvements in scarification is one of the great joys of being so immersed in this community. I think many of us were probably too young to witness the same sort of growth in the tattoo community, but scarification seems like the next frontier in a lot of ways.
A few more procedural shots, after the jump.

We’ve featured this beautiful Chris Dingwell backpiece before in a more unfinished state and hot holy damn, it is looking tremendous. The cloud effect, which was discussed at length in the previous post, is much clearer now, the classical-style nudes are a great touch, and the birds on her shoulder are a lovely addition as well. Hopefully we’re kept in the loop if this goes any further!

Let’s call it a weekend, ModBlog. Koka1ne (of Santa Cruz, Bolivia) up there has the right idea, I think. Or, do what I do: Slip into your coziest cardigan, curl up by the fire with a bucket of Original Recipe and slip off into dreamland. See? ModBlog is improving lives every day. See you in the morning, good people.

Kentucky Pride! I have to say, I’m really enjoying the “rising sun” motif with ol’ Colonel Sanders over top, there. I’m still waiting for the cagematch tattoo featuring Wilford Brimley, the Quaker Oats man and the aforementioned Colonel fighting it out to the bloody death. Don’t let me down, America.
After the jump, just for fun, two of the finest bits of KFC-related comedy you’ll probably see all day.

Well, who is this finely dressed chap? Oh, it’s Grundstuck, who took some time out of his busy schedule to send in this photo from what looks like the 1950s. Cardigan? Rotary phone? It’s either the inter-war period or modern-day Williamsburg. Or, you know, Italy, where he lives. Probably that last one.

The last time we saw Bloodlessness, she was getting her tongue split and inspiring typically wonderful Photoshop debates. This time around? Just munching on a squid. Just because. Got a problem with that? She doesn’t. Big deal. One squid.

Well hey, it’s everyone’s favorite local screamer, Cam, hanging out in the Onetribe abattoir, shaking around some power tools like a crazy person. What’s he building in there?
