Yoshi The Cat’s Ear Tattoo
In truth, this was done by a vet for ID purposes, but Yoshi is very proud of it and thinks it makes him look tough. All the other cats are scared of him now because he told them he got it in the pound, and they think he’s probably on catnip again.
DJ Minor Tattoo Interview Posted
Along with a mini-image update (mostly stuff in the members section, really), I’ve posted an interview with the very talented DJ Minor. Click through below to read the interview, and return here to comment (see what I mean about the thizz face, haha).
Body Modification in Syria and Tanzania
I got this wonderful letter from Isabel (click the photos to enlarge) –
Hello ModBlog,
Thanks for all the great images and stories and for updating them so often. It’s always a fun place to visit.
In June 2000, my husband and I quit our jobs, put our stuff in storage, and traveled around for almost nine months. We started in Indonesia and came home (grudgingly) after South Africa. In the process we visited Syria and fell in love with the people and culture. So much in fact that our daughter’s middle name is Damascus. While there, we saw several older women with the traditional face and hand tattoos. This beautiful lady was selling vegetables in a market and was kind enough to let us take her photo. Unfortunately, the new generation seems to have left the practice behind and they’re either covered up or very Western looking.
The other two shots are from our visit to a Batonga village in Tanzania. They welcomed us, showed us how they milk their cows and we got a few pictures. After this visit we went to a small bushman settlement and the only body mod we saw was a young kid with scars from a leopard attack. But that doesn’t seem to really qualify — wasn’t voluntary.
Hope you enjoy the pics as much as we love reliving the memories of all the beautiful people we met.
Best,
Isabel
Perhaps something smells bad?
Maybe I’m just showing my age, not getting some fundamental part of youth culture, but can someone humor the old codger that writes this blog and please explain to me why half the people who send me photos are making some variation on this facial expression?

My new favorite finger tattoo
Yes, it beats the fingerfucker… This amazing “scary finger” is by Noon, one of my favorite modern tattoo artists, that I look forward to featuring in an interview soon as well (the list of interviews is growing!). There’s some great new content that’ll be posted in his portfolio page on BME as well tomorrow also.
Fabrizio Divari Tattoo Interview Posted
I have a series of tattoo interviews to post over the next while, starting with a local tattoo artist whose studio is actually just down the street from the BME offices, Farizio Divari (divariart.com). I was interested in talking to Fabrizio because his artwork was clearly from a fine art background, with many of his tattoos being evolutions of his cubist paintings. Click through for the interview, and of course come back here to comment.
6mm 6mm 6mm
Stvrmzeit and three two* friends fooling around in Sweden, each with a 6mm septum tunnel. Not the funnest three-way they could have, but still, it’s better than nothing. Well anyway, enough posting silly photos for now… back to work for me.
* Apparently I can not count past two.
Flaming Pubes
I guess this is sort of like the opposite version of the chocolate starfish? Continue reading for the full X-rated shot. I hope that he continues base of the flames a little more though; that’s my only complaint about this otherwise striking tattoo.
