Double-Edged Blades

Posted on June 11, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Continuing on with our much-heralded “Corset Week” here on ModBlog, it’s the lovely Jenica, posing in a photo by Megan Cash, showing off these fancy arm corsetry projects she had done for her birthday. Not just that, though—these were done in tandem, while she was having both legs tattooed as well. Sensory overload, hmm? In her own words:

My piercers wanted in on the fun too, so towards the end of the night, Amanda and Kaz did tandem corsets on my arms while Bert and Kaelyn were tattooing my legs. Four artists to one canvas! With all of my limbs being worked on at one time, my brain was having a hard time of choosing where to direct my attention. It was a fantastic adrenaline high to say the least!

Jenica then hulked out of her shirt and punched through a brick wall, just because.

I’m Bloodshot For Sure

Well hey, look at that! It’s the always lovely (and controversial?) Lesha, checking in again—this time bottomless as opposed to last time’s toplessness. And…hey, what’s that on her stomach?

Ha ha, look at that! It’s this tremendous scarification portrait piece, a month into the ol’ healing process. Seems to be coming along nicely, but the question, as always, is how is the commentariat dealing with it? I’m going to say…hilariously.

What Might Have Been Lost

Posted on June 11, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

I’ll admit that I’m not always a fan of the hoary old ripping-through-the-skin tattoo, but, as we all saw earlier in the week, Paco Dietz at Graven Image Tattoo is, if nothing else, quite adept at turning the grotesque into something rather attractive. Really, between hideous creatures and painstakingly accurate renderings of internal organs and muscle tissue and such, this Dietz fella is going places.

The Game’s Worthwhile

Posted on June 10, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Well, that was kind of a long day, was it not, folks? But you know something? You all stuck with it, and that, well…that’s a kind of temerity they don’t teach at school. Not usually, at least. Maybe at Brown, or something. But anyway! It’s the kind of performance that deserves, at the very least, a hearty high-five, and for my money, there’s no better candidate to dole out these smacks of good-will than Jamin up there, sporting, among other bits and pieces, that handsome palm tattoo by Anji at ?High Priestess in Eugene, Oregon, which was fresh when this picture was taken. Now, though? High-five away, fair ModBloggers, and all through the night. Until tomorrow.

Spice Our Schedules

Posted on June 10, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

I swear, if young master xPUREx keeps it up, visiting his Williamsburg Pure Body Arts studio is going to be a mainstay checklist item for travelers coming to New York, right up there with poking around the Statue of Liberty, eating a slice of pizza from every parlor with “Ray’s” in the name and enduring crippling beat-downs after foolishly asking every woman in Times Square if she’s “working.” (Damn you, Giuliani!) Back to the issue at hand here, though, these implants are a nice fit, aren’t they? I guess that’s what one would expect with implantation by the aforementioned xPUREx and implant pieces ~~carved~~* by Steve Haworth. Another shot, after the jump.

*Not carved! Says the implanter himself: “These pieces actually were not carved. Steve was nice enough to attach some rods and domes together with silicone in it’s liquid form as a “glue,” so that i wouldn’t have to carve them.” Thanks for the heads-up!

Just a Bystander

Posted on June 10, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

We all took turns admiring this wonderful corset piece a few days ago, largely because of how well it was coordinated with the wearer’s dress. Well, here we have some more lovely pierced corsetry, albeit placed slightly differently. I have to say, though, this project is a bit more difficult to fit into a whole ensemble, especially for a wedding. Unless, you know, she’s just wearing a pair of old school Keds or something. Hmm…hey, photo shoot idea!

And of course, all the click-through and post-jump images you’ve come to know and love and expect from we here at ye olde ModBlog.

There’s No Here

Well kiddies, let’s knock off today with this handsome shot of Brian, hanging out in the shade, beaming out a cold, hard stare. Don’t try to look away. The stare will find you. Would the stare be any good at what it does if it couldn’t find you? No. No it would not.

Sleep on that, ModBloggers. We’ll see you tomorrow.

You know the rules: Up there is some sort of obscene image, and you just plump the depths of your debauched and depraved mind trying to guess what it is.

Let the Wheels Burn

Posted on June 9, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

I’ve said it before, folks, but if there’s one thing we’re committed to here at ModBlog, it’s ~~robots fighting alligators~~ ~~alien conspiracies~~ ~~gorillas in drag~~ bringing you, the reader, the absolute best in cephalopod-related body art. Well, today is no different, as Mandic has sent in these shots of Kujoton‘s brand new octopus cutting courtesy of none other than the Thunder From Down Under, Wayde Dunn at Infinite in scenic Philadelphia. Oh, you want more? Yeah, we’ve got more. I think you know where to look.

Deserve’s Got Nothin’ To Do With It

Posted on June 9, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

As ancient as I feel when there’s moisture in the air, I wasn’t (and I imagine many of you weren’t) around for the golden age of the TV Western. Sure, we had Walker, Texas Ranger to call our own, but The Lone Ranger? Roy Rogers? Rawhide? Forget about it. Now, some people may find it silly to be nostalgic for television (be it a program or an era), but hey, one can’t predict from where one’s inspiration will come, right? Also, this makes me feel much better about my Designing Women/Murphy Brown sleeve.
