TGIF

Well, the week is almost over, which means its time to start thinking of weekend plans.  By the looks of it HelloStephanie, owner of yesterday’s Hello Kitty tattoo, is gearing up for a wild weekend with her cowboy hat, beer and rum.

The roses on her lower abdomen are by Chris Churchfield from Artform Tattoo in Lower Burell, Pennsylvania.

So, now that we know what she’s up to, what about you?  Is this weekend set aside for holiday shopping, maybe doing chores at home, or is it time to cut loose and have some well deserved fun?

BMEBoy, Beard, and Blackwork

I’m pretty certain there are quite a few ModBlog readers who would list those three things as their favorite ModBlog topics.  So why not put them all together?

This dashing young man goes by the name of Somekindarobot, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s his birthday tomorrow!  So lets wish this bearded gent a very happy birthday.

If you’re a big fan of his arm, you can check out more in the tribal and blackwork gallery.

Stairway to Heaven

I don’t know how she does it, but every new picture that Madison sends in makes her that much hotter.  Granted it could be that this week the reason is that it is the first time I’ve had to hide the full image behind a clickthrough.  What I don’t understand is why you’re still reading this when you should just go and hit the read more button this instant!

For those keeping track, her newest addition is the script on her chest.  The nipple piercings may be new as well, but that’s only because we haven’t seen them before.

The script itself spells out “Loose lips, sink ships” and was done by Derek Hill from Oceanic Art in Dartmouth, NS.  The rest of her art was done by Scott Forbes, also from Oceanic art.

The Friday Follow-up

This Friday we’ve got a special edition of the follow-up.  JesseV from Thrive Studios in Cambridge, On was gracious enough to send in a pair of healed scars.

First up we have a scar from two years ago.  The detail in this photo isn’t great, but it should give you the rough idea of the scar before you see the finished product.

Fresh - 2 years ago

Next we have a scar that was done about one year ago.  What you’re seeing is the end result of a 6 hour cutting session.

Fresh - 1 year ago

To see what both these scars look like today, you know what to do.

Two years later, that flower now looks like this.

Healed - 2 years later

As for that marathon 6 hour session, here’s what came of it, one year later.

Healed - 1 year later

You can see more work by JesseV in his BME portfolio gallery.

Ear pointing redux

To some, getting their ears pointed is one of the last steps they can take with their upper ear.  Well Zephyr*Elf here has shown us that not only was she not finished with her ear pointing, she also intended to get them pointed a second time.  Back in July she had the opportunity to meet up with Efix Roy and have her ears pointed for the second time.  The initial pointing was done by Lukas Zpira, who did a fantastic job, but for the look Zephyr was going for a second pointing was necessary, as you can see by just how pointed the end result is.  In addition to the second pointing, he also scalpeled her lobes, with her 20mm lobe going to 1 inch, and her reconstructed lobe being reopened to 10mm.  So, now that a few months have passed, you can see just how well everything healed up.

If you want to see photos of the ears just after the procedure, you can find them on her IAM page.

Stress Relief 101

People de-stress in many different ways.  Some prefer a hot bath, while others do yoga, and there are even those who prefer things like paintball to relieve tension.  When the lovely Danae gets stressed, she finds that suspending is the best way to clear her mind.  Take her most recent knee suspension.  You can see in the photos just how calming it is for her, as if all the stress in her body is flowing downwards and out, leaving her clearheaded and peaceful.

An excellent use of tools

The last time we saw Lucass he was demonstrating the single greatest idea to prevent you from losing your keys.  By popular demand he’s sent in a new photo of his transscrotal tube sans accoutrement.  Instead he’s opted for a simple and elegant tube to show off his impressive stretching.

Of course to see this tool free, you’ll have to keep on reading.

Now I’m sure Lucass can fill you in on exactly what tools were required to get this job done.

Cheers!

It may not be happy hour in your neck of the woods just yet, but when you’re Hello Kitty, every hour is happy hour!

HelloStephanie sent in this photo of Hello Kitty getting her drink on.  She gets bonus points for having her toenails match the tattoo.

Domo Sayagata, Mr. Willie

This sayagata patterned cutting was done by Sweden’s own Willie.  The recipient is actually Willie’s apprentice, and I have to say that is one lucky apprentice.  At the time this photo was taken the scar is 4 days old, which is a nice time to take a picture as the scar is still fresh, but the bleeding has stopped and any swelling has died down.

Given the level of detail required for a design like this, I’d day Willie pulled it off really well.
