If it wasn’t for this tattoo, dinosaurs may still roam the Earth

There was a big update to the beta.bmezine.com recently, so I have  plenty of picking for modblog to last me a while. Unfortunately, a stomach virus got the best of me today, so one post is all I am gonna be able to knock out. Hopefully, I will wake up over this damn illness tomorrow and can get back on track.

When it comes to concepts for back pieces, this definitely ranks amongst the most original and well executed I have come across. This tattoo by Alex Vidaud of Nautilus Tattoo depicts the mass extinction of dinosaurs. They have plans of continuing the scene down his butt and to the backs of his knees with prehistoric underwater ocean.

On a side note, this piece won an award at the ’09 Paradise Tattoo Gathering.

How has this guy not been blogged before?

Really, when I came across Dr. Greenthumb’s (literally) green thumb, it blew my mind that this guy hasn’t been on modblog, much less,  not all over the intranet.

His tattoo fits him well, being that he is an amateur herpetologist as well as a Cypress Hill fan. It also helps to gives him one of the most legit IAM names ever.

I  had to ask the obvious, yet obnoxious, question we are all way too familiar with; “Did that hurt?” to which he responded:

It was a rather painful area to get tattooed. Especially around the cuticle is not pleasant. As of now I have only gotten the color to stay on top with a few blotches on the pad. I am determined to continue tattooing it until it is solid all the way around, then I’m going to tattoo roots and go from there.

Liptril piercing?

Liptril is far from an official name, but when I saw this vertical labret that was pierced through a stretched labret, it instantly reminded me of  a septril piercing, and the word ‘liptril” popped into my head.

This creative piercing was done by Marea Vedge on her hubby Alan Vedge. As well as performing piercings this pair also runs Aesthetics custom jewelry company.

Congrats Dotty!

This stunning photo shows Dotty at 29 weeks pregnant. A few weeks later Talina was born (on March 30th at 12:59 AM), after 21 hours of labor. She was 10 pounds 9 ounces, and 22 inches long.

BME always get excited when one of our own has a child, it gives us a wee glimmer of hope for the next generation.  To see Talina’s picture, keep on keeping on.

These septum piercing photos were submitted by Nix. When I was moderating photos for BME last night, I found myself drawn to this first photo. I admit, it was the glitter eyeshadow that sucked me in! There is something about the photo that intrigues me. I think it may be the serene look on her face and that slight Mona Lisa smile.

Next photo after the break.

I think this photo would make a great print. In fact, I’d really like to hang it up on my wall. The lips really make the photo pop and I love the simplicity of just having the one septum piercing and nothing else. I hope you all enjoy these photos as much as I do.

Another case of BLATANT tattoo thievery

Modblog has a history of calling bullshit on tattooist who blatantly rip off other peoples work and  use it as their own. In fact lots of you guys probably remember the modblog post from 2005 where Amina Munster’s chest piece by Tim Kern that was ripped off by another artist.

That seemed like a pretty blatant rip off, even with the subtle changes that were made to the original design. However, it pales in comparison to this atrocity.

When Cat Spencer came up with a beautiful Mucha inspired back piece for his lovely wife, Carla, she insisted on keeping the two shoulder blade pieces from her youth.  Well when a FAR less talented artist blatantly ripped off here design, he too incorporated Carla’s old shoulder pieces in his rendition!

This is the original rendition on Carla’s back…

…and this is the atrocious rip off of her same design, INCLUDING the old shoulder pieces.

Thanks to Lish for submitting this story to me. If you have news, stories, or photos you feel would make for a good modblog post. Please do not hesitate to email them to [email protected]

Bitch slapped by the Ace Of Spades

Around this time last year I entered my Lemmy is God tattoo into the Philly  radio station 1045′s band tattoo contest. For some reason, it did not win.

Now this year my buddy Matt Clark, who you IAM folks more likely  know as Robin’s bitch, has entered his Motorhead War Pig hand tattoo in that same contest. If you would like to vote for this bad ass tribute to Motorhead, done by my friend Shlak please go here and do so now.

PS: Robin is also taking part in this contest with her Green Day tattoo. Obviously, when faced with the decision which to feature Motorhead or Green Day, I made the right decision. That being said Robin is a kick ass chic, so I still advise you go here and vote for her tattoo as well!
