The first time I saw this photo in thumbnail form, I though it was cool. Though at first glance, I failed to realize he was getting implants in his head, I thought he was just chilling with a lollipop!
Eric certainly looks calm and serene here, sucking on his lollipop while having dermal elevators worked into his noggin.
…would it ever be considered ok to take out someone’s hooks, clean them off and then see what piercings of yours they would fit into.
Kevin, who submitted these pictures had this to say:
My girlfriend and I the day after her performance suspension in Columbus, OH for the band Only Flesh. After lovingly massaging the air from her back and cleaning her shark hooks, I played around by putting the hooks in everything I could, like my 6g labret as seen here. This photo seems to show a lovely middle-ground between my piercing/stretching obsession and her affinity for ink. I’m so glad we share the same affinity for body modification 🙂 Photo by Samantha Hodges.
PS: I believe those shark hooks he refers to are actually salmon hooks.
Webster’s Dictionary defines sportsmanship as : “conduct (as fairness, respect for one’s opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing).”
Well, I should get a good sportsmanship metal for what I am doing here now, posting a nude shot of my closest legitimate piercing competitor Hannah, who works at Fatty’s Tattoo in DC.

Even though we have had some ridiculously Summer like weather in my area, technically, it is still Spring. You know what that means? Dandelions! Weeds to some, beautiful flowers to others, but either way you can’t avoid them.
Ryan Oullette, who a lot of you may remember as the Lord Of The Blade, made sure for one lucky client of his, that dandelion season is year round. I don’t really like dandelions, or any plant for that matter, enough to carve it into my leg. However, if I was going to get a slab of bacon carved into me, you can be damn sure I’d stop by Precision Body Arts to hit up Ryan.
As I was moderating images for BME, I came across this photo and I had to take the time out of what I was doing to jump over here and share it with all of you. This stunning photo was submitted to BME by xmasgirl (not sure if she has an IAM page or not).
There is something so beautiful in the simplicity of this photo and the serene look on her face just makes me feel happy. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend. As for our BME World Tour group, they have arrived safe and sound in Australia and so, the tour officially begins!
There was a big update to the beta.bmezine.com recently, so I have plenty of picking for modblog to last me a while. Unfortunately, a stomach virus got the best of me today, so one post is all I am gonna be able to knock out. Hopefully, I will wake up over this damn illness tomorrow and can get back on track.
When it comes to concepts for back pieces, this definitely ranks amongst the most original and well executed I have come across. This tattoo by Alex Vidaud of Nautilus Tattoo depicts the mass extinction of dinosaurs. They have plans of continuing the scene down his butt and to the backs of his knees with prehistoric underwater ocean.
On a side note, this piece won an award at the ’09 Paradise Tattoo Gathering.
I love cheesy reinterpretations of pop culture icons and ideals, and this piece by IAM member (and regular modblog commenter), Adam Burdine, is a prime example of just that.
One part movie reference+ one part currently trendy traditional style shark tattoo= one very rad and creative piece.
Really, when I came across Dr. Greenthumb’s (literally) green thumb, it blew my mind that this guy hasn’t been on modblog, much less, not all over the intranet.
His tattoo fits him well, being that he is an amateur herpetologist as well as a Cypress Hill fan. It also helps to gives him one of the most legit IAM names ever.
I had to ask the obvious, yet obnoxious, question we are all way too familiar with; “Did that hurt?” to which he responded:
It was a rather painful area to get tattooed. Especially around the cuticle is not pleasant. As of now I have only gotten the color to stay on top with a few blotches on the pad. I am determined to continue tattooing it until it is solid all the way around, then I’m going to tattoo roots and go from there.
For a close up shot of Dr. Greenthumb’s green thumb, keep on keeping on.
Liptril is far from an official name, but when I saw this vertical labret that was pierced through a stretched labret, it instantly reminded me of a septril piercing, and the word ‘liptril” popped into my head.
This creative piercing was done by Marea Vedge on her hubby Alan Vedge. As well as performing piercings this pair also runs Aesthetics custom jewelry company.
This stunning photo shows Dotty at 29 weeks pregnant. A few weeks later Talina was born (on March 30th at 12:59 AM), after 21 hours of labor. She was 10 pounds 9 ounces, and 22 inches long.
BME always get excited when one of our own has a child, it gives us a wee glimmer of hope for the next generation. To see Talina’s picture, keep on keeping on.
