I’ll Have a Coke

Posted on July 1, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Please excuse the late start, folks! I wish I could say I was out celebrating Canada Day, but alas, I’ve just been dealing with technical difficulties here at headquarters. (Read: There was a spider on my modem and I was too afraid to go turn it on.) At any rate, let’s ratchet up the tension and have a breakneck-speed afternoon, shall we? Let’s get going with this Thoroughly bad-ass Boondock Saints-themed sleeve by Ryan Schepp out of Wingnut Tattoo in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. I have to say, though, you know what my favorite thing about this tattoo is? It doesn’t have a poorly thought out sequel in production.

Hold Me, Smithers

We’ve featured the work of the excellent Jason Stephan before, but past offerings have typically been of the cartoonish variety, tremendous as they were. Well, this time around, Jason checks in with this photo-realistic rendering of a few fish species native to Springfield, USA, embroiled in some sort of heated underwater battle. Just as it’s no secret that, around these parts, we love our hideous creatures and animal warfare, nor should it have been hard to guess that this sort of glorious combination of the two would make an appearance here. Early advantage to the purple and green monster notwithstanding, my money’s on the orange one. Let’s not make this a racial thing though, alright?

The Attentive Eye

It just occurred to me that it’s been an eternity since we featured anything by way of all-star BME photo submitter Kitano Karyuudo and the lovely Eva, pictured above; I really love the starkness of the pictures in this set (among other, more obvious things). More photos, all click-throughable, after the jump, but if that’s not enough, check BME/Hard for their extensive gallery.

Spear of Gold

Ahoy-hoy, ModBloggers! Here’s the latest offering from Marina Storme at Atomic Zombie, a glorious back-piece interpretation of a statue depicting The Ecstasy of St. Theresa, tattooed on none other than her own father. How great is that? Not to mention, I can’t think of a better way to fill the Marina-void while waiting for an update to this masterpiece.

It’s Tuesday, ModBlog—let’s melt all the ice in our heads.

Right Out of the Bottle

Posted on June 29, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

And finally, folks, let’s wrap things up today with a tale of steampunk love, as told by Noah up there:

[This was] taken at Metrocon 2009 in Tampa, Florida, this past weekend. There was a steampunk theme to the whole convention, so naturally the better half and I went all-out for it. One of the notable differences between the two pictures (the other is currently the cover on BME) is that in the time between them, I (successfully) proposed to my fiancee on stage in front of an entire convention center full of anime and gaming fans. And, I got numerous comments all weekend both on the hair and piercings.

Productive weekend! Congratulations, Noah. And with that, have a good night, all—steampunks, crust-punks and non-punks alike. We’ll see you tomorrow.

4th of July Weekend BMEshop Sale!

Posted on June 29, 2009 by Rachel

So I’m doing it again! It’s almost the Fourth of July weekend and I’ve been bedridden, but I can finally squint hard enough to see my screen and select a bunch of BMEshop items to put on sale with the coupon code bmelovesme. All of our Mother of Pearl, Latex Gloves and all three types of silicone dildos are on sale for 15% off. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention our little silicone Prrtle which comes with a vibrator.

And, if you were wondering, these high quality silicone gems all came from our good friend Badur at Body Art Toys when he closed up shop. They really need a new home…and that means in someone’s vagina or bum. There, I said it! 🙂 The first 10 people to make an order, take photos and submit them for BME with their new purchases, in addition to getting them up on ModBlog will get a free year of IAM access. Make sure to include when you submitted that these were BMEshop purchases!

Oh, and since I got a few meanie emails about not being clear about when the sale ended last time, it ends on EST time at midnight on Saturday.

If Only You Try

The lat time we saw Andy around these parts, it was nothin’ but wang, which, hey, yielded few complaints. But now, we’ve got an update on his vertical lowbrets (which we’ve seen a few times in the past), freshly up to 3.2 mm., potentially on their way to 4 mm., and in mighty good health from the looks of things. After the jump, a shot of that adorable punim from a better angle, chops and all.

(Lowbrets by Indy at Ritual Piercing in Brussels, Belgium.)

Forwards, Backwards, Sideways

We’ve featured the very lovely Satanycandle on these hallowed pages before, and she’s always been vaguely shape-shifty—well, no exception here. This time around, she joins the ranks of our esteemed cephalopod-esque models, doing her best octopus impression, dreadlocks waving this way and that. Not to mention, the pink jewelry is a nice contrast to the blueish photo, and she just looks awfully peaceful in general, does she not? Yes. Yes she does.

Tigers Love Pepper

Welcome back, folks! Hope you all had the loveliest of weekends, but now? Now we’re back to the harsh realities of the working week. But hey, at least you’ve got trusty old ModBlog here as your guide, am I right? You don’t have to answer that. Anyway, let’s get the ball rolling this week with this Raymond Pettibon-inspired tattoo by KVLTFingers, who fancies himself an “archetype absurdist tattooist.” And hey, I think we’re all fine with that sort of thing.

It’s Monday, ModBloggers—come home in the car you love.
