Never Been a Paper Bag


Ahoy-hoy, ModBloggers! Hope the weekend found you well, that all your UFC-related dreams came true and that you were all able to get on top of your respective wives and whatnot. Anyway, let’s start our week off with a handsome portrait of the bright-eyed and bushy-topped Steven here (last seen during an extreme close-up), featuring some fine piercing work (mostly) by none other than your friend and mine, Ryan Ouellette at Precision Body Arts in Nashua, New Hampshire.

This Week in BME


If you’re wondering why this hulking back looks so familiar, it’s because it’s the reverse of this hunk from earlier in the week. Now, if you’re saying, “Hey, jerk, that’s much too small of a picture to truly enjoy the majesty of that fine work,” I couldn’t agree with you more—click on through for a full-size shot.

And just like the sands of time, another week etc., etc. What happened this time around?

This handsome gent and his horrifying terror doll improved and destroyed the dreams of readers everywhere.

We were able to make arguably the most excellent use of the “DongBlog” tag in recent memory.

We caught a glimpse of the wonderful and intense projects that are Cookie’s implanted, tattooed and scarred arms.

We suspect foul play regarding how handily these tic-tac-toe games were won.

Kristina something something fall down convulse die happy the end.

Nadyne made an awfully strong first impression on ModBlog with this great, intricate cutting by Timb Wilton.

Oh, and BME Shop is full of awesome things.

And that’s that. You know what happens next: Everybody has a great weekend, we pop in here a few times, and then come Monday, the fun machine starts cranking out the hits yet again. Sound like a deal? Good. Until then, ModBloggers, enjoy yourselves, cheer on Frank Mir against the Minnesotan anger-bear Brock Lesnar and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME. We’ll see you soon.

Now This Is Just Wrong


I’ll admit that I was totally surprised when the last tattoo by Josh Weir we featured on here—which, if you’ll recall, featured a lady’s nether-regions covered in splatters of blood and semen—was not only not frowned upon, but, um, was actually pretty widely enjoyed by our readers. Clearly, this emboldened Mr. Weir, because he has now checked in with this piece done on his friend Allen—who he calls “a fucking trooper”—which…is kind of grisly, right? Then again, I was expecting him to get raked over the coals over his last offering and it ended up being a huge success. As we’ve determined in the past, I have no idea how you, the readers, will respond to pieces like this; this could get 300 comments of fawning praise, or Weir could be drafted to fight Mike Beer to the death inside Thunderdome. Neither would surprise me, honestly.

Sweat, Tears or the Sea


It’s the end of the week, friends, and you know what that means, right? Casual Fridays are back! And this time, Ari makes his unprecedented second Casual Friday appearance! This time, though, instead of hanging brain with porn stars, he is alone, desperately alone, in the vast and sprawling salt flats of Salt Lake City, Utah. Also, he is not wearing any pants, which is what we are largely concerned with. Really though, these are some excellent pictures by Tom Clark. And wouldn’t you know it, we’ve got a few more after the jump. Where else?

Needles in Their Jaws and Feet


Oh boy. It’s shaping up to be one of those days, isn’t it? The internet connection at The Manor took a shit and died this morning, so bear with me. I’ll make it worth your while, ModBloggers, I swear! You see how much fun that cat up there is having? I promise you’ll be at least as pleased as he (she?) is, if not more. And if that means I get banned from my friendly neighborhood Starbucks for having “inappropriate materials” (read: tattooed wangs) on my laptop screen, then so be it.

And hey, it’s Friday, folks, and we always kinda sorta wished we looked like Elvis.

New to BME Shop: Stone and Brass by Evolve!


Lordy lordy, is that pretty or what? That’s the Tibetan Agate round front stone plug by Evolve, and it’s just one of many brand new stone products freshly added to BME Shop. Truly beautiful stuff here, as if you needed me to tell you that. Check out some more pieces after the jump, but first:

We’ve also just upped our stock of Evolve’s ornate brass jewelry, including these Ancient Eye brass weights. Get some.

Black Stone Spirals

Rainbow Fluorite Premium Round Front Stone Plugs

Zebra Stone Eyelets

Rows of Angel Hair


Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself! This Hole-inspired (probably?) piece is plenty pretty on the outside, too—though I guess you sort of expect that with a cutting (plus electro-cautery branding!) by the excellent Christiane at Pinpoint Piercing in Oslo, Norway. Also, wow, considering this is the inglorious Summer of Celebrity Death, is Courtney Love just hiding out in her panic room for days on end or what? Stay safe out there, famous crazies.

The Funk of Forty Thousand Years


When Andy sent in this zombie Michael Jackson tribute (?) portrait, it was accompanied with the ever-present, “Too soon?” Now, under normal circumstances, sure, getting a tattoo of a recently deceased celebrity as a hideous member of the walking dead may be in poor taste, but hey, Michael Jackson was arguably most famous for a video in which he appeared…as a zombie! If anything, this is how he would want to be memorialized! (Maybe not.) At any rate, our initial clinical reaction was, No, this isn’t too soon. Get yer MJ zombie on with impunity and a clear conscience, folks!

Oh, right, and then we noticed his right hand. You are going to Hell.
