The last time we checked in with Dustin Poole from Sacred Balance in Calgary, Alberta, we were admiring this excellent sleeve and this sultry silver lady. This time around, though, we have this vulgar unicorn porno, starring this poor, once-majestic creature who passed out drunk one fateful night and woke up in a bathtub with those sinful male bits sewed to his forehead. Life can be so cruel.

Good morning, ModBloggers! Let’s start the day with the lovely darkgrrrl, who, in addition to plenty of fine work, is sporting an excellent horror movie-themed sleeve. Check out a few more shots after the jump.

Well folks, let’s end this fine Monday with machinegun‘s fresh and swollen horseshoe tattoo, which I can only assume is for good luck. Or in tribute to a beloved horse. Or because she’s a fan of WASPy lawn games. All good options, really. Take care, sportsfans, and we’ll see you tomorrow.

Hey smiley! Peter checks in with a couple photos of his completed Japanese-style suit, from his neck down to his feet, that took him 20 years total to finish. My favorite part is that he didn’t even start till he was 37; he finally finished last year when he got his neck done. Check out a full-body picture, after the jump.

Pardon the glare, but I thought Justin’s new tattoo of Freak from the Spawn comics was really nicely done. But then again, I’m a sucker for pathologically insane characters that persuade hell-demons to murder for them. Or something. More photos, after the jump.

I have to say, I like the asymmetrical approach this young lady’s taken with her facial piercings (done by Efix at D-Markation in Quebec City, Quebec). The standalone lip ring is common enough, but because of her cheek piercings, this is a little more unexpected somehow. (Pleasantly, though.) Plus, the jewelry is subtle enough that the asymmetry doesn’t seem quite so jarring. Another shot, after the jump.

A little while ago, Phil and I spent the evening with Rob Spence, the gentleman in the above photo. When he was a boy, his right eye was severely damaged in a shooting accident. Three years ago, he finally had it removed. Now, he’s not satisfied with a vacant lot in his face, and, with the help of a brilliant young engineer, is trying to build a miniature video camera he can wear as a prosthetic eye. We talked about the difficulties of being a recession-era cyborg, whether he’s setting a bad example for future generations, how to get laid as an amputee, and much, much more. If nothing else, go read it just to see Phil’s wonderful photography. (And there’ll some great video from Chris coming soon, too!)

Good afternoon, folks! Hope the weekend’s been treating you well. If you’re still bummed out about Anderson Silva dancing around the Octagon last night and refusing to finish Thales Leites, though, then hopefully this photo of the lovely Christine will cheer you up. Pretty girl, nice smile, fancy glasses and simple and complementary piercings? That ought to cure anything short of a kimura lock.

Let’s wrap up the day with Absinthe‘s new stomach tattoo, done by John Walsh at Tattoo Zone in Southampton, England. Is it a My Ruin reference, perhaps? A general statement about where he stands in society? Or something far more sinister? Chew on that. (Or wait and see what he has to say, I guess.)
Enjoy the evening, ModBloggers. We’ll see you tomorrow.
