And this tattoo, done at Lucky Lou’s in Atlantic City, New Jersey, says, of course, “Nom Nom Nom” in Arabic, because, hey, Middle Easterners gotta munch too, am I right?

These lyrics from “Schism” by Tool were tattooed by Clay Willoughby at Body Graphics in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And just because you’re all so lovely, the video for the song in question can be found after the jump.

Well hey, here’s a fine young man with a whole lot of gold jewelry! I’m actually not crazy about gold when it’s not being worn as body jewelry, but it’s such a relative rarity in piercings that it’s usually a pleasant surprise.

And here we have another to add to the ranks of the most-impressive scarification submissions lately, this time from Gibi Body Art in Brasilia, Brazil. And sorry about the delay in posts this afternoon, ModBloggers, there was some Internet trouble at the office. And by “office” I mean the closet in the guest-room. We’ll definitely have another couple posts up before bedtime, though, so worry not.

And so here we have Nihilist (foreground), sporting the latest in, um, big-ass bones in his septum. Also, a Cephalic Carnage shirt, a band ye olde Wikipedia describes as “deathgrind,” which is one of the most bad-ass compound words English has to offer. I knew a guy in high school who loved their music, which sort of sounds like a fighter jet raping a tank, but I’m glad they exist, if for no other reason than to ensure terms like “deathgrind” remain active in the lexicon. And of course, the background mustache really ties the whole thing together, as always.

It’s not infrequent that we touch on the subject of how difficult it is to do something in the arena of suspension that’s truly unique, which says more about the popularity of the act than the creativity of the people involved in it, but nonetheless. Well, Chris Glunt (who, we should mention, is very experienced with suspension) recently undertook a suspension that was low on theatrics, but which relied on a rare sort of dedication. On his blog, Allen Falkner writes:
Believe it or not, his goal was not to tie, or even break the record. Although he did, his real goal was to attain a new experience. Prior to hanging he did a week long fast and then deprived himself of sleep for a night. Chris did fall asleep for 45 minutes 3 hours before suspending and really I’m not sure what effect that may have had on his whole experience.
I know one of his goals was to pass out, sleep or possibly leave his normal mental state. Did he accomplish it? By his own account, no. However, I feel that he is still processing the whole experience. As someone that has done both fasting and sleep deprivation experiments, I can honestly say that it takes a bit of time to put it all in perspective. The experiences are exhausting and draining by themselves. Combine a 6+-hour suspension in with that and the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual change can and will take some time to fully comprehend.

The last time Jeff was featured on ModBlog, it was a handsome shot, but tragically, no mustache. This time? Mustache. I’m not saying one is necessarily better than the other, but … well, yes. The one with the mustache is better. Grow mustaches.
