Guess What?
It’s been a while since we’ve had a Guess What post, and while the game has been retired, there are still a lot of images that can leave you scratching your head wondering what it is you’re seeing.
So, without further ado, here’s your Guess What? for today…
Take your time, and when you think you know exactly what it is, keep on reading to find out if you’re right.
This ladies and gentlemen is BIG hole’s meatotmy/frenum/glans/dolphin project.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong with any of these, but from the photos is appears that following his meatotmy he put in a large gauge frenum as well as a dolphin. From there it looks like he took a half-ampallang and stretched the glans to create the large hole.
There are more photos of the project in the meatotmy gallery which is located in the extreme surgical galleries. If you don’t have access to those galleries, consider signing up for a BME Hard subscription where you will get access to all of the surgical and hard galleries.
Little Yellow Boxes
The world would be a much better place if everyone was able to express their own inner monologue via little yellow boxes. Alas, that can’t happen, so we all have to live vicariously through the merc with the mouth, Deadpool. In the 2009 Deadpool one-shot “Games of Death” our hero traveled to a mysterious island to participate in a deadly reality TV game show. In addition to giving the fans a fun little tale, it also provided them with a fantastic cover by Greg Land.
One of those fans is Exiled_Sun who is an apprentice at Nautica Tattoo Studio in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. One of the resident artists at Nautica, Albert Connor was nice enough to give Michael a recreation of the cover art. You can check out more photos of the piece in the cartoon and comic tattoo gallery.
The Blood of Baphomet
While the origins of Baphomet, a pagan/masonic/templar deity, are somewhat convoluted and mildly confusing, this scar on the other hand is nice and clear. Although, like the deity, the origins of this scar are somewhat of a mystery as there was no artist credit included in the upload. From the rest of the photos, which you can find in the scarification gallery, it is a collaborative piece done by the gentlemen with the head lamps in the photo.
If you recognize any of the guys in the photo, please let me know so I can give them the credit they’re due.

Look under your bed
Those of us that were born in the 80s (or earlier) may remember a movie called “Little Monsters“. Fred Savage plays the hero kid, and Howie Mandel plays the comic relief “good guy” monster Maurice. If you get a chance, go check it out. But first, take a look at this Maurice tattoo done by Josh Downing from Drunken Monkey in Saginaw, MI.

And we’re back
Well, I am anyway. So around the time ModBlog came online, my internet connection went offline. But you don’t care about that, you want to see something cool. Well how about Hetty’s awesome backpiece by Loz from Cookies Tattoos in Worcester.
Come to think of it. It’ll probably look better with some color added. Keep on reading to check out the finished product.

Yep, that’s much better.
Unbreakable
Welcome back friends! A huge thank you to Rachel and Mike who worked long hours to get BME, ModBlog, IAM and the rest up and running again. It’s good to be back! I thought this tattoo was fitting. No artist was credited but it was submitted by xsabx. The lettering looks like it might be a bit shaky but sometimes it’s just the photo, especially on fresh and healing tattoos and once they’re healed it looks just fine.
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend (or long weekend for those of you in the US). I’m always curious about why people choose old school motifs for tattoos. Well, I guess I’m curious about all of them but I always wonder what draws people to the old school stuff. So ModBloggers, if it’s not too personal, what motivated you to get the style of ink you’ve got?
