Gorgeous skull-shaped implant

Posted on June 21, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

102

I really love the way this newschool-style skull implant, done by the folks at BodyTunning in Sao Paulo, Brazil, has turned out. The level of definition and detail is great — let’s hope it doesn’t freak people out like the brass knuckles implant did!

All Red Portrait Tattoo

Posted on June 21, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

Done at NIX (the Toronto tattoo convention) this year, I believe in response to a “you can’t do a portrait all in red” challenge, is AndyTheBollox‘s new tattoo! I’d say they succeeded.

Elvish Fantasies

Posted on June 20, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

This great healed ear pointing was done by Howie/LunaCobra, one of various different people who are available). Click through if you prefer your elves in a state of undress… I know you do; I don’t have to check the weblogs.

Clicker Beads

Posted on June 20, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

These glass clicker beads (still probably a lot safer to implant than magnets) are intended to make noise even when implanted… These ones ended up in warowaro‘s genitals (if you read Dutch, you can check out his IAM page for more info).

One-eyed skull

Can you tie it in a knot?

Party Time! One week left for ModProm tickets!

Posted on June 19, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

There are about twenty tickets left for ModProm II, the main event (in my opinion) of the BMEfest day. You can get more details about BMEfest at BMEfest.com but to get your ModProm ticket online (and a shirt too), click here to get it at BMEshop with your credit card. If you need to make alternate payment arrangements (as in you don’t have a credit card), please contact Phil. Tickets will be on sale until Monday.

Other than that, “real” ModBlog posts start again tomorrow! Now get your ticket… or party in Russia with Dem (this photo is from their New Year’s party):
