Check out that waterfall!

That’s such an cool waterfall, don’t you agree?  The water cascading down into the churning waters of the river.  Oh, and there happens to be lovely tattooed woman in there as well.

Thanks to IAM:Irene_Stamour for sending us this beautiful shot.  Unfortunately she didn’t give any artist credit for her snake/spine piece.  Remember folks, when you upload photos make sure to fill in all the little boxes so that when you’re featured here on ModBlog we can give the artists proper credit. This also applies for when you e-mail your photos to [email protected].  Just follow the link in the e-mail you receive after we get the photos.

Digging in

We see a lot of play piercings here on ModBlog, but we don’t often see flesh stapling being used for play (or in this case a photoshoot).  The result of using the staples give these photos an amazing aesthetic, one that I don’t think could be easily achieved with play piercing needles.  You can’t see them in the first photo, but if you read on after the break you’ll see that the shoot did incorporate some play piercings with temporary CBRs to create the corset.

Keep on reading to see the other photo.

Breathtaking

I first saw this photo a couple weeks back when IAM:PirrePirat posted it in the Suspension group on Facebook, and I’ve been waiting for it to turn up in the galleries so I could share it with you.  I pretty much love everything about this photo, from the girl to the suspension.  There’s another photo from this suspension is the suicide suspension gallery that you’ll want to check out.  It’s from a different angle and isn’t SFW like this one is.  If you can’t access the gallery, make sure you’re logged in with your BME account.

Keep your eyes on ModBlog today, this is just the first in a bunch of fantastic photos that were submitted over the weekend.

Teya

Stunning fashion photo of Teya Salat of St. Petersburg, Russia and her incredible throat and collar tattoo that really brings out that “Madonna with the Long Neck” beauty. Just a sensation photo merging a very bold and over-the-top tattoo with traditional beauty that people would swoon over no matter the cultural bias or point in history.

WTF, Sean, where have you been?

Well, it’s funny you ask.

I have been doing the same thing I have always done, I have been focusing on body modification and blogging on that matter. Only, this time I have been focusing on a totally new (to me) form of body modification, one that consist of improving my bodies health and fitness. So I left ModBlog to my bearded buddy, Rob, and I started focusing most of my efforts towards my health and fitness blog, The Caveman’s Man.

So whereas before I was cutting, perforating, injecting, implanting and removing my body parts to obtain my ideal body image, now I have shifted focus onto the aspects of my body and health that will allow me to live long enough to answer that often asked question “what are you going to do with  all those tattoos and piercings when you are 80?”.

With my former lethargic lifestyle combined with eating nothing but take out (and perhaps occasionally over indulging in booze), 80 wasn’t looking too likely of a lifespan for me. However, after losing 70 pounds and totally turning my life around,  when someone ask ”what are you going to do with  all those tattoos and piercings when you are 80?” I can cynically reply, “probably your great granddaughter”.

Anyhow, my passion for BME type body mods has never, and as far as I can assume will never diminish. So when Rob asked me to cover ModBlog for him for a few days while he was on vacation, I gladly accepted the offer. When it came time to write my first post of the year,  I figured, why not combine both of these vastly different body modification interest for it?

So here you have my good friend, fellow healthy modded human being and my WOD wife, Katie McShady (who coincidentally has her own fitness blog), doing a split snatch at my Crossfit gym, Crossfit Mainstreet.

(I know, I know. I said “split snatch” laugh it up, add some relevant puns and move on.)

There are many sides to body modification, and many types of people involved in it but you have to appreciate someone like Katie, who represents our modified world so well by being a showcase for amazing tattoos and beautiful body jewelry as well as health and fitness, education and just being a damn good human being in general.
