This Week in BME

Posted on February 27, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Why would you ever get a penis tattoo? This. This is why you would get a penis tattoo. “I blow myself every day,” says latexninja, putting to good use her arm-wang by Nickku at Galaxy Tattoo in Singapore and her split tongue by Roland at Visavajara in Freiburg, Germany.

And like the sands of time, friends … another week has come and gone. What might you have missed this time?

– We started things off with Anna, because why not?

– A brief digression into the virtues of hardcore metal.

– Pretty sure we ran a fever.

– And this is what an infected and rejecting implant looks like.

– Gold tusks? Gold tusks.

– Jose Lopez is just ridiculous.

– Joy Rumore put an empowering piece on a cancer survivor.

So that’s that. We’ll be around on Saturday and Sunday, and I should even be able to post a new article at some point. Fun, right? Fun, indeed. Stay safe, ModBloggers, enjoy the weekend and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.

Confounding Their Enemies

Well here’s the happy couple! That’d be leftie01 on the left (obviously?) and myself (err, not me). Another shot (featuring a leather kilt!) after the jump.

I Know the Truth

Ah, and here we have some shots from a photo shoot that local favorite lanileegarver (more) did with Johnny Rocket. Another shot from the set, after the jump.

Let Bear Grylls Catch You Some Breakfast

Posted on February 27, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Is there a better way to wake up than to a tattoo of Bear Grylls, the manliest Briton since, I don’t know, the Queen Mother, chowing down on some tendons? No. No there is not. And to the inevitable people who will feel the need to pipe up and claim that Man Vs. Wild is faked or exaggerated or what have you, let me just say you are a heartless cockblocker and I hope a meteor shower hits your television. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go eat a live rabbit stuffed inside a live turtle, for protein.

Goodnight, ModBlog

Posted on February 26, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

It’s been a long day, ModBlog, and we think it’s about time to hit the hay and curl up fetus-style like our friend up there, albeit, you know, horizontally. Until the morning.

Unsoiled by the World

It’s been a little while since we’ve featured Iestyn (more) on here, but this cutting is too good to pass over. Welcome back to ModBlog, old friend.

Pollyanna

Posted on February 26, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

This post-mastectomy tattoo was done by Joy Rumore at Twelve 28 Tattoo in Brooklyn, New York. I have to say, it’s hard not to be inspired by work like this.

Rag and Bone

Posted on February 26, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Bekki is an artist from Sacred Heart Tattoo in Atlanta, Georgia, that often does guest spots at Ink Assassins in Erie, Pennsylvania, and we both share a common interest in dumpster diving. This piece was in regards to that, as well as the concept that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Me Want Food

Posted on February 25, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

And this tattoo, done at Lucky Lou’s in Atlantic City, New Jersey, says, of course, “Nom Nom Nom” in Arabic, because, hey, Middle Easterners gotta munch too, am I right?

Little Lambs Eat Ivy

Posted on February 25, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Last week, we featured Robin‘s own coma suspension, and here we’ve got a set submitted by him of another attendee/suspendee from the same event, Concrete Jungle Tribe‘s Bloody Valentine’s Day in Malmo, Sweden. Another shot, after the jump.
