I’m really liking the approach being taken on this facial tattoo by Mike Haines at BioGraphix Tattoo in Syracuse, New York. While I’m personally a fan of heavy black-work, I think the addition of this somewhat unconventional color combination (unconventional in terms of being coupled with black-work, that is) really livens up this project. Definitely looking forward to seeing how this progresses!

Hot damn—between his huge lip plate and stretched medusa, Jenya has altered his appearance more radically than many other people that we’ve seen, but I swear, I don’t know if anybody looks giddier and more satisfied with his appearance on a consistent basis than he does. I say it every time, but Russians, man…hearty stock and all that.

Well, folks, it’s time to bring to a close the world-famous “Impromptu Zoo” day on BME’s ModBlog. Rounding out the efforts today is this great leg-piece on Harm, featuring man’s best friend (a dog) engaged in an epic battle with, by far, the greatest threat currently facing the human race (a dragon). You know who wins when someone gets a fantastic tattoo of a dog fighting a dragon? We all do. We all do.
Fare thee well, ModBloggers. Until tomorrow.

That saucy little minx Uranium Hobo just sent in these shots of him sporting some home-made bug plugs. It was his first time casting in resin and, while he says they’re not perfect, everything is “glass smooth” except for a few nicks around the edges that he says don’t affect anything. These ones were rather heavy and stretched out the piercings somewhat, so next up will be a thinner pair, more suitable for long-term wear, filled with mantises.

Here’s a nice change of pace from traditional “permanent makeup,” with this leopard-print eye shadow by Jessica at Forbidden Body Art in Portland, Oregon. A close up of the ol’ swollen peeper, after the jump.

So apparently, old Mother Nature doesn’t give a good goddamn that today is the holiest of holies, opening day, and has decided to blanket much of North America in hated snow and sleet and rain, just to be a bitch. Well, luckily, her awful bitterness hasn’t extended to Glasgow Poitiers, France, where the lovely Possessed is just hangin’ out in the sun, pickin’ daisies and stickin’ them through her septum piercing, as one is wont to do on such a summery day. Must be nice.
We’ve featured this beautiful Chris Dingwell backpiece before in a more unfinished state and hot holy damn, it is looking tremendous. The cloud effect, which was discussed at length in the previous post, is much clearer now, the classical-style nudes are a great touch, and the birds on her shoulder are a lovely addition as well. Hopefully we’re kept in the loop if this goes any further!

Let’s call it a weekend, ModBlog. Koka1ne (of Santa Cruz, Bolivia) up there has the right idea, I think. Or, do what I do: Slip into your coziest cardigan, curl up by the fire with a bucket of Original Recipe and slip off into dreamland. See? ModBlog is improving lives every day. See you in the morning, good people.

Kentucky Pride! I have to say, I’m really enjoying the “rising sun” motif with ol’ Colonel Sanders over top, there. I’m still waiting for the cagematch tattoo featuring Wilford Brimley, the Quaker Oats man and the aforementioned Colonel fighting it out to the bloody death. Don’t let me down, America.
After the jump, just for fun, two of the finest bits of KFC-related comedy you’ll probably see all day.

Well, who is this finely dressed chap? Oh, it’s Grundstuck, who took some time out of his busy schedule to send in this photo from what looks like the 1950s. Cardigan? Rotary phone? It’s either the inter-war period or modern-day Williamsburg. Or, you know, Italy, where he lives. Probably that last one.
