I can definitely see the resemblance here. This photo was titled “Mother Tattoo” and was inked by Ryan Hadley out of Ryan Hadley Studio in Fort Wayne, Indiana. (The quote I used in this title is attributed to Abe Lincoln.)

Yeaaaaaaaah! MissMeg knows how to make me laugh. I’m still trying to catch up on watching all of the video applications. We haven’t even been able to post them all because there are just too many but I’m very very excited and I think this tour is going to be awesome, thanks to all of you!
Rachel asked me to post some more audition videos while she’s busy recuperating. I don’t know when she plans to announce the winners or how she plans on notifying them so we’ll all just have to be patient a bit longer. I’ve only been back in town a few hours and have tons to do and it’s shaping up to be a busy week (in my spare time, in addition to working for BME, I’m a full time graduate student and substitute teacher)! So with no further ado and in no order, rhyme nor reason, here are some videos!

My BME World Tour Video Interview! from Stewart Donaldson on Vimeo.
Once again, this is just a small sample of the many videos we’ve received! A huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time! We sincerely appreciate your efforts.
Ok folks, here are some more audition videos. I can’t believe the amount that poured in, it’s truly awesome. I’m currently “away”, staying with some friends and can’t even get proper cell phone reception here. Thankfully they’re geeks too so being online wasn’t an issue! This is just a random selection of videos I’ve pulled from the pile of hopefuls. I wanted to thank all of the people who have taken the effort to send in applications and videos, you’ve definitely made this hard for us. Enjoy!
More videos after the jump!
I made a really bad video to say thank you to everyone who has sent in their own videos!

I am sure you guys remember Ala’s recent Modblog post, it was definitely one of the cooler and more controversial post I have had the honor or being able to post. Well in case anyone was wondering what Ala may have looked like sans modification a friend of hers has done some amazing photo editing to show just that as a school project.
Thanks again to Roo, aka “that creep guy” (according to one Modblog commenter) that has been stuck as the main image on BME’s main page during the transition to the new site lay out. After being a Modblog author for quite a while himself, he still takes the time to submit images and stories for me to post, and I truly appreciate it.
I remember back in the early 21st century, when 1 inch ears seemed huge and 2 inch one’s were extremely rare. Now it seems 2 inch ears are “common”, well at least in bod mod circles.People have also taken to stretching other piercings to 2 inches and beyond and this becomes more and more common in our little world.
Take for instance Gandy’s 2 inch transcrotal. Where most people choose to go front to back with their T/S’. Gandy chose to go sideways with his. This placement seems like a good idea to me, as it would appear to rest far more comfortably than the traditional transscrotals, that would bump into his thighs if stretched to this size.
Gandy had this to say about his transscrotal:
These are my balls, everything was done by Quentin at Kalima, Worthing, U.K. my transscrotal being the 1st, started at 20mm, and worked up to 2 inches, my goal size. The lower ones are 6mm and 4mm, and the top one is 1.6mm. I also made the jewellery for the transscrotal.
I know im hairy, so it would also wind up the people who choose to comment on everything other then the mod/s being posted, should be a giggle.
So all you body hair phobic Modbloggers, feel free to tell him to shave, he could use a good giggle.
PS: I’d like to thank, Gandy for emailing me this submission while BMEzine.com is being renovated (and therefore less updated) and remind the rest of you, if you have any suggestions for Modblog post, feel free to use the “email this author link” next to my photo below this post.
Check out some of the people who have applied for the BME World Tour so far. The following are a random selection of audition videos we’ve received so far. Remember you have until Saturday so there’s still time to submit your application.
Doren Graf has emblazoned his commitment to old school photography boldly upon his foot. Tattoo by Birte, Tintenstich, Bonn, Germany.
Analog is cool and I appreciate the art form, but when it comes to taking photographs on the go, digital is hard to beat. Speaking of photographs on the road, have you gotten your application (and video) in for the BME World Tour? If not, why not? Seriously, I am shocked how many people aren’t even trying for an amazing once in a life time chance like this! If I didn’t have a son, a wife, a piercing business, and two incompetent apprentices to take care of, I would be making the best damn interview video possible and preparing myself for an amazing journey!
Remember Taryn? Thanks to all of you, she’s currently in the number one spot, but the competition isn’t over yet. She needs to be in the top 3 by February 28th to be one of the finalists. Through your efforts, she could win the opportunity to volunteer, through ONEXONE. Show your support for Taryn and for this wonderful cause.

And don’t forget folks, the World Tour Internship Contest closes on Saturday (we all know what Saturday is, my birthday). Get your applications in and don’t forget to include a link to your audition video! I’ve seen all of the applications so far and now I know how it feels to be a judge on a reality show. If only we could take everyone who applies!
Also, whether you’re applying or not, you can help us out! If you’re from Europe/Asia/Australia/Africa, we would really appreciate it if you could list your country, the cities in that country that you think we should visit as well as the names (url, location, etc) of the best shops in town! Help us locate the best places near you! Maybe we’ll even get to see you there! (Well I won’t since I’ll be managing the tour from my igloo in the frozen wasteland that is the east coast of Canada, but the rest of the group will!)
