Oh, you didn’t know? Wednesday is Wangday here at ModBlog! And here is one industrious member, fresh out of his MFA program (probably?), showing off some fine technique and just drawing himself a self-portrait for his portfolio. It’s a little rough, sure, but hey, art is, like, subjective, you philistines.

You know, even if this weren’t an excellent Ren and Stimpy reference (which it is), this would absolutely still get posted here, because is several hundred degrees of fantastic. (I am not always a man of particularly cerebral tastes.) It’s a log, in a tuxedo, drinking a martini! It doesn’t have a face! ISN’T THAT BIZARRE?
“Skipped town the other day to check out my friend’s brand spankin’ new new shop,” says the wearer of artist Rich Lambe’s Stay True Tattoo in St. Thomas, Ontario. “Somehow, it just seemed incomplete without getting a log wearing a tuxedo. So I did.” A fine choice, indeed!

Ahoy-hoy, folks! Let’s kick off this Wednesday (or “Hump Day,” as the ancients called it) with this series of photos documenting stabbylove‘s new scarification piece, cut into place by Australia’s entry into the Mr. Universe pageant, Wayde Dunn, while at Wicked Ink in Penrith, Australia. Up top? That’s immediately following—obviously. Post-jump, more procedural and healing shots, because that’s what we do.
Here’s your future, ModBloggers.

Well hey, it’s Gothenburg, Sweden’s own Wille, he of Barbarella Body Piercing, showing off, among other adornments, those 22 mm. lobes, self-done lowbrets and some manner of fancy dread-tail. He is, however, clearly suspicious of something. Or he’s giving you the Evil Eye. Or someone in his general vicinity is gassy. Some mysteries just aren’t meant to be solved, I suppose.

See, now, this is why I stand in firm opposition to “medical science” and the like, as my beloved Owl God teaches: Here is a man who, somehow, survived his own autopsy, which is surely, inarguably a miracle. Unless, of course, he is now a zombie, which would be vile trickery of the highest order. SHOW YOUR FACE, LIVING DEAD FELLA.
(But really, this intense and finely executed scar was done by none other than John Durante while taking a break from gridskipping in Des Moines, Iowa.)

And here we have a fine photo of a coma suspension presided over/facilitated by Matthew Vermillion, he of Artistic Skin Designs, Inc., which has locations all over the damn place in scenic Indiana. With the vast amount of suspension photography that exists out there, it’s always nice to see interesting takes on things we’ve seen many times before. And this? We like this.

Hey, it’s been a minute since we’ve posted some bizarre animal tattoo, right? Unacceptable! Let’s right this egregious wrong with this piece by the folks who brought you Murder Penguin, artist Marcus Dove at Smiling Buddha in Savannah, Georgia, and the wearer, Jules, who, apparently, has some sort of thing for animals hanging out in Arctic locales and doing things they should not do. This photo arrived with the caption, “This is not where I parked my car,” which raises all sorts of questions. Why was a giraffe in the Arctic? Why did he think he parked his car at the icy peak of some horrible frozen death mountain? How was he driving in the first place? Why would he wear a scarf and nothing else? This tattoo is unrealistic and offensive to giraffes and mountains.

Our old pal Brian Decker has been getting quite a bit of play on our hallowed pages here lately, but man alive, he has just been on a tear the past little while, has he not? Last week we saw some impressive implant work from him, and now he checks in with this gorgeous “Arabic henna style” cutting on the hand/wrist/forearm of Heather, who we just saw the other day as well, covered in blood or something equally great. And, of course, we’ve got a few more shots after the jump, because that’s how we do it around these parts.

Welcome back, folks! Here’s hoping you had yourselves a fine weekend, full of whatever sort of saintly/sinful/gassy/etc. behavior for which you were hoping. Let’s get our week started on the right foot with the lovely Kier, straight outta Wasilla, Alaska, looking like the sweetest thing, sporting, among others, 12-gauge cheek piercings by Blake at The Hole Look in Anchorage, Alaska.
And just like that, it’s Monday again, ModBloggers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good God, well, if this isn’t a fine way to wrap things up this week, I don’t know what is. Two of our returning champions, Heather (more) and Tracie (more, more), covered in blood (or a reasonable substitute), hanging out at the Baltimore Tattoo Convention, and conveniently captured sharing a tender moment by the good folks with Metal Disco Photography. Whew. Yeah. Well…yeah.
And that, friends, will be that for this week. What kinda good times did we have this time around?
– Cats vs. Bees: The Revengening.
– LA Ink made some unwise personnel decisions, but at least wang tattoos can save your ass.
– GAHHHHHH KILL IT KILL IT SEND IT TO HELL
– One of the finer silicone implants we’ve seen in a while. Ahoy.
– You’re not a man until you learn to tie a bow-tie.
– A children’s treasury of dead celebrity tattoos! We are going directly to hell.
– And finally, don’t steal money to fund your body modification procedures, you grinning douchebag.
We’ll make a casual appearance or two over the next couple days, but come Monday morning, this ship sails ahead at full speed. Sounds good? Sounds good. Until then, friends, enjoy yourselves, stay safe and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME. We’ll see you soon.
