I am a fan of the work that Jee Sayalero at Freak Family in Spain has been sending in to BME lately… I like this piece a lot — it’s very pretty and covers a range of styles, without feeling “overdone” or too heavy.

P.S. Sorry for the absence this week and generally lazy entries today. ModBlog will return properly on Saturday (the ‘P’ stands for ‘Pre’ before people get all worked up that the ‘PS’ came first). And…

Josh Prentice
“I began by getting pierced in a shop in Alabama and becoming friends with the people working there. I worked as receptionist for a short stint before being offered a piercing apprenticeship. I have been enthusiastic about the art of piercing ever since. During my apprenticeship I learned the fundamentals, like disease prevention and basic technique, but was left to learn a lot on my own. By networking with my peers in the profession I have become a pretty well rounded piercer. I’m now a proud member of the APP, and look forward to keeping with standards and promoting health and safety to the piercing industry as long as I’m involved, and will always advocate for the industry that has allowed me to make a profession out of something that I truly love.”
– Josh Prentice, 1980-2007
