Excised! (Get it?)

It’s no puzzle who this exciting skin removal piece is on, it’s The Enigma (more) of course..

Left to right – John Durante, The Enigma and Johnny (FUKN) Velez – More photos after the break..

Then we spoke about mathematics..

Andy loves cycling and mathematics. So much so that he had this tattooed by Jase of Art ‘n’ Soul Tattoo in Devon, England, and by the looks of things he cycled home after the tattoo session. Now that’s dedication!

It’s the bicycle power formula, it describes the various forces against which I’ve battled for pretty much every week of the last quarter century!

It’s Exactly What You Think It Is

Phone rings.

Reckoner: Hello?

Buddy: Hey, it’s me. What are you up to tonight?

Reckoner: Oh, hey. Actually, I was about to go for a run. Probably shower after that, get some reading done, and put some dinner together. And after that I was planning on taking some photos with a Spiderman toy riding my dick. So, kind of a busy night, actually.

Buddy: What are you having for dinner? Wait, what? You’re going to have a Spiderman toy …

Reckoner: … riding my dick, yes. Well, it actually depends on how you look at it. One person may see it and think, “Hey, that Spiderman’s got one hell of a cock on him. Nice.” Whereas the more cultured viewer may think, “Why, Spiderman is riding that dick like it’s an A-bomb, Dr. Strangelove-style! What an odd yet surprisingly rewarding mélange of cultural references!” So there are really a lot of levels at work here.

Buddy: I see.

Reckoner: Anyway, the point is that I’ve got a pretty full dance card, but maybe we could get together later in the week. Oh, you wouldn’t happen to have any old G.I. Joe action figures, would you?

Buddy: Absolutely not.

Reckoner: Don’t sweat it. Talk to you soon.

Suspension Queen!

Jared sent in this wicked footage of Tracie (who seems mildly infatuated with her right boob and was formerly TracieHanna on IAM – More on ModBlog) completing a 27 hook, 18 transition suspension (!!) at the Chicago Tattoo Convention a week ago. Could it be a world record?

The video (and some photos by LukeMyspace) are after the break – Loads more appearing in the Nu Ethix Suspensions gallery on BME soon!
