Hey, lettering scarification — especially in cursive — may be difficult, but still … I think you’re being a little hard on yourself.

Good morning, ModBlog! Let’s start today backwards: Here we have a young man who got his 18 mm. lip piercing closed and stitched up by Brooklyn’s number one son, xPUREx. It’s not uncommon to find reactions to procedures like this … not negative, necessarily, but certainly sad: people tend to be disappointed when a person has his or her stretched ears/lip/whatever restored to their original state. Understandable, to be sure, but I have to say, I’m always rather impressed that these stretched piercings that so many of us grew up believing to be relatively “permanent” are increasingly reversible. This isn’t to say that such procedures should be taken lightly, of course, but the ingenuity is pretty remarkable nonetheless.

I definitely feel like I’m missing the reference here, so until someone enlightens me as to who or what the subject of this stellar piece by Dustin Poole from Sacred Balance actually is, I’m just going to believe it to be the cyber-sexy offspring of Silver Surfer and lovable droid C3PO. Prove me wrong, ModBlog! Prove me wrong.

Oh, this? This is just a cold stunning photo of Faye from Arnhem, Netherlands, by “Dickh.” And … that’s about it. Wow. Carry on.

So, when we received this photo, I just assumed it was some kind of “white trash” tattoo, whether prideful or ironic or whatever. Then I checked the image’s information and, in addition to seeing it was submitted by the excellent Johnny Stiletto at Baltimore Street in Hanover, Pennsylvania, there was a line about “Internet superstar Brian Peppers” and orders to “Google it, mo-fo!” Mercifully, I had never heard of Brian Peppers, but I figured, Hey, what’s the harm in keeping abreast of an Internet meme?
In conclusion, I hate the Internet.
And here we have Neek, hands tied behind his head and about to be cast off Mt. Olympus by the gods, for the grave transgression of, um, washboard abs, mostly. Hera wanted to keep him around because she so fancied the fine stippling work being done by Alice Newstead in his armpits, but was sadly outvoted. After the jump, startling video of his earthly punishment, which involves hanging by hooks in his forearms, for eternity. Terrible.
Oh hey, it’s Vomit, and she’s got, hmm, something in her labret piercing? A colorful tissue, perhaps? Or some sort of pasta? Oh wait, is it boners? Please don’t drinks boners! Well, what is it?
Oh. It’s just a balloon. Phew. Neat trick, though! Video evidence is below:

T-lex sends in this attempt at play piercing using cactus needles. “They wouldn’t go all the way through, though,” she says. “Just pricks.” Pfft, pricks indeed.

No, dude, if you’re a man of peace, you don’t have to flex — nuts or otherwise. Ah, well.
