This Week in BME


Oh holy shit, what is this? The actual Devil? It looks like some goddamn sea monster with a face that was created by letting one of those 1950s-era diving helmets soak in nuclear waste. I mean, it’s a great tattoo, but I don’t understand why c.A feels the need to haunt me by getting tattooed with Poseidon’s nightmares.

And another week down. What happened this time around?

A woman’s lovely tribute to her parents.

A public service announcement … with GUITARRRRR

We talked about adapting paintings into tattoos.

Gothic Clark Kent showed up.

We saw a brilliant Asian-inspired sleeve.

Rat plugs? Rat plugs.

Hey, zippers!

Anyway, we’ll be around this weekend. We’ll even have a new interview up at some point! Good times. Whatever you do, be safe. Have a great weekend, ModBlog, and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty, but it’s up to you to merit the face you have at fifty 10mm/7mm nose tusks, 25mm septum and 53mm/25mm lips.

– Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel (sort of).

Hey Fellas, Got a Genital Piercing? Have Some Money [UPDATED]


UPDATE: Sorry everyone, the university has been overwhelmed with responses and needs a little while to sort them out! If they’re taking more applications, we’ll let you know.

No, really, it seems that easy:

The Department of Applied Health Science at Indiana University is conducting a research study designed to collect information on men’s sexual health and genital piercings. We are looking for men who have had their genitals pierced to participate in a phone interview that will be audio-recorded. The time commitment will be approximately 45 minutes and you will receive a $25 VISA gift card for completing the interview. In order to receive the gift card a name and mailing address is required.

To be eligible for this study, you must be at least 18 years of age, speak and understand English, and have had your genitals pierced.

If you are interested in participating please e-mail us with the following information at: xxxxxxxxx

– Your first name, or name you prefer.

– A phone number where you can be reached.

– Several times over the next 5 days when you are available to talk on the phone privately.

A member of the research team will call you to discuss the study.

For questions please contact xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Swinging in the Chariot


Oh hey, it’s whathisname, that terribly unpopular fella from the television, Emperor Hope Hussein? Something like that? Anyway, Tony Styles from Long Island, New York, sent in this happy rendering of the man, with Martin Luther King Jr. behind him, keeping a watchful eye. Also, nice to see this is the American version of the president, what with the flag pin and all. Crisis averted.
