The last time Jeff was featured on ModBlog, it was a handsome shot, but tragically, no mustache. This time? Mustache. I’m not saying one is necessarily better than the other, but … well, yes. The one with the mustache is better. Grow mustaches.

It’s Saturday night, ModBlog! Pour yourself a fizzy drink, put in a movie, and get you a cupcake. You’ve earned it. Or, you know, go to the bar. Either way. (But I think you know which Jesi would prefer.)

So! That Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention that all the movie stars are talking about? Well, it just got 22.8 percent sexier, because the word is that Steve Truitt will be sharing a booth with noted gridskipper John Durante, offering cuttings and all that good stuff. Above is one of Truitt’s most recent pieces: a dainty lily! Your common StumbleUpon user is thoroughly disgusted.
As well, there is still space available for people/shops/etc. looking for booths. Visit the convention’s web site for details, or call Troy at 215-882-1362.
And here we have yet another submission from Mark Gibson of Monki Do Studio in Belper, Derbyshire, England, who has been on one hell of a roll lately. Does anybody know what the source material for this is, if any exists? I’ve been looking into it, but apparently the FBI doesn’t appreciate it when you repeatedly search Google for “nailed kid.” Who knew?

We’ve posted a different rendering of this same shot of Al Bundy (né Ed O’Neill) and, my childhood (childlike?) devotion to Married … With Children aside, it’s interesting to see how drastically different two artists can approach the same subject matter (which I’m quite sure is this).

Sayeth Joseph Minek:
I wanted to get a tattoo to symbolize my constant searching for happiness (the surface). It is also part of lyrics from the Stick To Your Guns song “Looking For The Surface,” which I love. It’s also a cover-up of a penguin I got, who is now drowning, damn global warming!

And so here we have action personality Chev Chelios, who has been injected with some sort of serum (or maybe implanted with a device? Who knows) that will make his organs explode or his junk fall off or something if his heart-rate falls below a certain level (it’s like Speed, except the bus is a person!), and so he let some tiger maul him on the ass for an adrenaline rush, which should keep alive for at least another 15 minutes. Next on the agenda is a date with Dominique Fisher.

Ferdudurke looks upset. And you know why? Because nine out of 10 kitchen accidents like this are avoidable, that’s why.
A full-color shot of him all made up, after the jump.
New rule: La Negra can be on ModBlog whenever she damn-well pleases. All in favor? Excellent.

Shortly after this photo was taken, Mario (pictured above) climbed a vine up to a cloud and punched the shit out of a turtle. Err, wait, this is Andres, and he says:
Mushrooms have always been seen as a way to get in contact with inner knowledge. The symbolism [of this tattoo] is to drive my inner knowledge out of my body, through my tongue and turn it into words of knowledge.
