Says Josh of this piece on his left forearm by Nathan Kostechko from Anatomical Art Studio in Moreno Valley, California, “No matter what happens, someone is gonna try to make a dollar.” Ha ha, luckily, soon there will be no more of these “dollars” to make, although I guess the same sentiment could be expressed about gold bars or bags of sand or whatever the new form of global currency will be.
Good afternoon, ModBloggers! Enjoying a lazy Sunday, I trust? Well, here we have an acquaintance of some description of Anapaula‘s, wearing some custom jewelry she designed for her own Quetzalli Jewelry company. Fancy! (Flower sold separately.)
Happy Saturday, ModBloggers! Hope the day finds you well. Here we have a young man with some interesting custom ear jewelry—I don’t know how comfortable it would be to wear nails through my ears, personally, but he doesn’t seem particularly bothered by it.

And now, for your Friday night sex photo, is our returning champion Anna checks in with this lovely shot. Oh, winged things.
So, the week has come and gone. In case you missed it:
– Pauly has a fleshy space parasite.
– I still love nightmarish animal hybrid tattoos.
– Hayley and Hayley showed off their twin poles.
– Headmistress Rachel interviewed the gents from Fat City Reprise.
– Frameset stretched out his nipples, just because.
– And then Holly got some nipple microdermals. Everyone wins!
– This Dali/Star Wars crossbreed was pretty much universally loved.
More scheduling conflicts, but I swear we’ve got at least one podcast coming up very soon, as well as another roundtable, more video … it’s a regular goddamn multimedia wonderland around here. That aside, we’ll be here over the weekend as per usual. Before I sign off for the night, I just want to mention that, while I rarely don’t allow comments through, I have no problem keeping something in moderation if it meets certain levels of vulgarity or off-topic-ness. You’re really not missing anything usually, but something just came through today and was too good to pass up. This, keep in mind, was made on the now-classic Skullboy post:

… and scene. Stay safe, everyone, enjoy the weekend and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.
I really like this shot of Pirão suspending in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. If you were to look just at the top half, it’d be your typical Christ-like outdoor woodsy suspension picture, but no—just behind him are apartments, a strip mall and city buses. Hey, a little minor cognitive dissonance never hurt anybody.

And Brandon looked down (with his shifty eyes), and saw that it was good…

You know what? Screw it. Brook‘s had enough of this crap. Her bags are packed, she’s got her travelin’ dress on, and she’s ready to hit the road. Take a good look at these tattoos, and take a peek at the heart cutting above her knee … because she’s outta here.

Hey, it’s actually been a little while since we’ve posted anything from the mad geniuses at Swastika Freakshop! The last we had Nadine on ModBlog, it was to show off her gorgeous done-by-Freakshop wings. This time around? Her stunning symmetrical sleeves, naturally done by Marc at the aforementioned Swastika Freakshop. This lady is sporting some of the nicest goddamn tattoos around.
So, you want a tattoo celebrating one of your favorite movies, but one that alludes to other artists as well? What to do?
I really wanted a Star Wars tribute tattoo, and my artist really wanted to do one. I didn’t want anything overused or anything, like the insignia or a lightsaber, and I didn’t want a huge scene with ships and everything, so we decided to kind of create something. I liked the shape of the AT-AT walkers, but they were kind of beefy. I was thinking I wanted something more slender, like a Dali elephant, and here it is! I’m so happy with how it turned out, and I’m really glad to have something completely original on my body.

Sure, I like Lucas‘s beard, and you like it, but his goddaughter there? She seems like she’s had just about enough of it. I know the look of a person who’s ready to snap the shit out of something, and … well, I don’t think I have to tell you what she’s planning.
