I recently had the chance to speak with Sean Dowdell, the co-owner, alongside Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, of Club Tattoo, which has been a staple of Arizona body modification for nearly 15 years now. Since then, Dowdell has opened three more stores in Arizona, and is just over a month away from opening a massive 3,300-square-foot shop inside the Planet Hollywood casino in Las Vegas. Sean’s about as talented and motivated as they come, and has been around long enough to speak with some authority about the industry.

Let Me Do The Jumble

Alie from TCB Tattoos in Toronto, Ontario, sent in this piece she did the other day on a client who wanted a word search filled with the names of his family members. Cute! We don’t have the list of names, but whoever can find the most reasonable words will WIN A PRIZE!*

*The satisfaction of a job well done counts as a prize, right?

Yes, yes, yesterday was very male-heavy here on ModBlog, I’ll admit it. Well, for those of you not always keen to run with the dick-’n-balls crowd, we have the lovely T-Lex, sporting a surface piercing on her wrist and really not much clothing at all. Shucks.

The BME Big Balls Award

(Pictured above is Impgrin, a mainstay of BME/hard’s We’ve Got Big Balls! gallery, with what he says is his largest scrotal air inflation yet — by his measurements, 20 inches around and 10 inches long.)

Every once in a while, a feat is performed that is so heroic, so incredible, so daring, in such spectacular fashion, that it must be recognized. Alas, we have no keys to the city to give away, and a cash prize is so impersonal, so it is with this in mind that we present the BME Big Balls Award! The inaugural recipient is Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III, the hero pilot of US Airways Flight 1549, which took off from LaGuardia airport in New York this afternoon and which Sullenberger successfully ditched in the Hudson River minutes later. After one of the aircraft’s engines blew after sucking in a flock of geese, Sullenberger executed a “planned crash” into the river, saving the lives of the 155 people onboard the flight, plus countless others had the plane crashed into the mainland. You, Sir, have some big balls.

The Evolution of Wang

Greg Schaefer of House of Ink in St. Louis, Missouri, checks in:

It started out with a client saying, “You should give me a black light tattoo,” and I said, “It has to be a dick.” He says, “OK, on the bottom of my foot would work, or maybe my leg. Actually, it would be cool on my ass.”

I said, “OK, if we do it, though, it has to be veiny and triumphant.” He agreed. Being a tattooist and being offered a chance to do a tattoo like this veiny S.O.B, I couldn’t resist. Well, lo and behold, I was able to convince our helper to get a black outline, but it didn’t stop there.

It went from the idea of a black light tattoo to semi-realism with a hot pink black light reactive background! Yeah right sucka, he ended up with this veiny triumphant bastard with a black light reactive silhouette of a dick around it on his ass cheek. Damn son, damn.

My Nipple’s Exploding With Delight!

Have you ever woken up in the morning, looked through bleary eyes* at your reflection in the mirror and been overwhelmed by the desire to:

a) Do something new and exciting with your nipple piercing.
b) Make lots of loud fizzing/popping/banging noises to annoy the neighbours who kept you up until 3am playing the same drum and bass track over and over again at top volume.
c) Play with flames.

I know I have!

Bern reflected on this for a while and came up with a fine way to start the day/enact revenge, he combined a), b) and c), to make, erm, c)a)b) this…

It may appear that good old Johnny Storm is staring longingly at the BMEzine.com watermark, or perhaps up into the sky, at the Skrulls, with disgust. But no, he just takes every opportunity he gets to show off that finely honed, supple buttocks. Yes, we get it. You’re very manly. Now stop licking your finger, poking it into one of your pecs and saying, “Oooh, caliente!” You’re not impressing anyone, Johnny.

Let’s just establish this right off the bat, to avoid any arguments: It says “Party Time.” Not “Potty Time” (even though that would be great), not “Party Lime” (though that does sound tasty), and not “Larry Slime” (he prefers to be called “Lawrence”). We have that settled? Now, if so much as one person posts a link to a calligraphy site, I’m turning this blog around, so help me God.

It’s “Party Time.” Get stoked.
