Now there’s a pretty face, no? Good looking piercings, a hearty smile, and hey, there’s even some sort of experimental body jewelry on her forehead that manages to not penetrate the skin and instead sticks to the outside! Ha ha, man, what’ll they think of next? Oh, and what the hell, how about a close-up after the jump.

Welcome back, folks! Hope you all had the loveliest of weekends (and are continuing to enjoy a long weekend, if you have the fortune of being a Canadian government employee). Let us begin the ever-illustrious Shark Week with this intricate, Flower of Life-ish cutting by Brendan Russell at 2012 Tattoo and Piercing in Newcastle, Australia, who writes in to say, “ModBlog my arse, I am always submitting my work to you and other crap gets put up.” Ha ha, zing! Well, here you are, Sir. This is pretty tremendous work here.
Let’s get off on the good foot this week, ModBloggers, even if whales are more your speed than sharks.

Good afternoon, ModBloggers! Hoo boy, summer took a while, but now it has arrived with all of its trademark scrotum-droopening hellishness. Hooray. In honor of this terrible inferno, here is a pretty fantastic sleeve based on the myth of Icarus, one of the all-time great stories about what a dumb asshole the sun can be. I’ll fly as close to you as I damn-well please, you intergalactic bully. More shots, after the jump.

And rounding out our week, here, is the lovely, doe-eyed and excellently monikered McShady, which I’m pretty sure is the name of the Dublin detective school that Colin Farrell graduated from. You’ve worked hard all week, ModBloggers—you’ve earned your sweets.

So it goes, friends. What happened this time around?
– Alex, our Suscon correspondent, killed it all week.
– George Waters wrote the weirdest column about tattoos ever.
– We baited the commentariat just a little bit.
– We went black and white, briefly, for a good cause.
– There’s always room for cello.
We’ll be in and out over the weekend, but come next week, we’ll fire this sucker back up just like you’d expect. Until then, enjoy your humid weekend, stay safe and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME.
I just assumed this was a Lionel Out Of Step piece when I first saw it, but no! Bested again! This chest tattoo, belonging to kipich, was in fact done by Montreal’s own Yann Black at Glamort. I love tattoos that are creative with their use of space, so this? This really does it for me, not to mention the sleeve and the scarification. High marks all around.

You begged. You pleaded. You dropped to your knees and prayed for it. (Or maybe you just mentioned it twice in the comments.) Whatever the case may be, your calls have been answered, and nobody is happier than we are to have Casual Fridays back! Today, as you can see, is a gentleman with a rather intense deep shaft piercing caught swingin’ in the breeze. And by “swingin’ in the breeze,” of course, I mean, “in possession of a deadly weapon.”

Ahoy-hoy, ModBloggers! Let’s roll out today with this damn-near perfect hand grenade cutting by our favorite intergalactic scalpel-wielding space creature, Anders “Alienboy” Allinger at Flesh Impressions in Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia. Is the wearer a soldier, perhaps? An anarchist, maybe? Or, more sinister than anything, a Green Day fan?
And holy holy, it’s Friday, folks. Feel free to bottle up and explode.

And finally, folks, let’s end our day with this handsome portrait of, hands down, one of the baddest m.-fuckers in rock and roll history. Have we seen rock star portraits before? Of course we have. But when we get such an exceptional piece honoring a man who treated his guitar like an extension of his genitals more than anyone else we can think of, well, that gets posted, friends.
Tomorrow, we’ve got an interesting interview with a community member who’s feeling conflicted over a procedure he’s recently undergone. Until then, machine gun. Night night.

What’s that, ModBloggers? You want to see a picture of a stunning redheaded cellist named Samantha with one hell of a pretty floral three-quarter sleeve? As always, dears, we’re happy to oblige you. Oh? You’re wondering if we have a black and white photo of this lovely woman’s back tattoos? We do, indeed!

And here we have the alleged “Pikku,” clearly disobeying doctors’ orders and making some silly face that will probably stick like this, but hey, at least we get to see—among many fine-lookin’ upper and lower lip piercings, of course—a nicely healed DIY tongue split, done over the course of a month and a half with nothing more than a piece of yarn. Somewhere in the distance, Richard Dean Anderson is standing on top of a mountain, staring blissfully into a glorious sunset, gently nodding his approval.
