Mask Backpiece

So I know I shouldn’t be out drinking, what with the recent surgery, and opiates in my system and all, but I decided to hop a commuter flight out to Vancouver and drink at some random bar, and who do I bump into in the washroom but motorcycle daredevil Gregory. I got him to show off his amazing bodysuit by Steve Moore at Sacred Heart in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in return for the promise that I’d photoshop the urinal out of the photo.

(Yes, of course I’m kidding, other than that I think that’s a great backpiece).

Nipple bars and a sternum piercing

I feel that Sasha Cohen (Borat) has massively misrepresented the attractiveness of women from Kazakhstan (as well as pretty much everything else about the country) — Sabira, a college student from Almaty, Kazakhstan is one of the prettiest girls I know. Oh, and this is lucky number three for her — previously, a sexy play piercing and a sensual lip piercing photo.

“Hello sir and how are you today?”

Here’s Alexis suspending with the First Class trains on Platform 1 with Diddy and Delta9 (South Coast Suspensions, UK). I love guerilla suspension! You may remember them from their lightpole suspension, and other guerilla suspensions have been featured in the past here as well — off a tank, in Las Vegas, off a bridge (or something), and lots more in various BME galleries (and there’s even guerilla aftercare).

Dog Scar

I can’t decide if this dog scarification by John Joyce (see also: John Joyce scar gallery on BME) is sweet or creepy — either way it’s very well done. I imagine over the next few years it will go through a number of different looks, perhaps eventually being tattooed to accentuate it when it ages completely. I still think that scar-tattoo fusion is going to being a very important artform.

What, you’ve got a better source of inspiration?

Maxwell Brand (seen here a couple times before) writes of his tattoo based on a ModBlog feature from June 5th, 2006 (a difficult choice due to the blown out lighting and unusual proportions),

“My friend Sean Herman of All or Nothing Tattoo was going to tattoo me, but I hadn’t come up with something to get. I flipped through pages of ModBlog pics until I found this gorgeous girl. Then, Sean tattooed her on me. So, it should probably be a ModBlog feature itself…. haha.”

Maxwell, I agree entirely that I need to post this. I love meta-references and meta-jokes, so this is definitely getting modblogged! I wonder what BreedTheCancer (the person whose portrait makes up the tattoo) will think when she finds out (assuming she doesn’t know already) about the tattoo — and being featured a second time in this unusual way.
