Hey look, it’s Nino, and he’s all covered in some sort of salad-y headdress. As you may be able to tell from the imprint on his chest, this was part of a pro-vegan photo shoot (that he did with Lingaumara in Genova, Italy). I have to say, these came out a lot better than the “meatface” set I did a few months ago, in which bystanders paid to throw slices of bologna at my head while I wept gently. … Another shot of Nino, after the jump.

Oh, hello! Welcome to ModBlog’s award-winning “Mustache Thursday,” wherein we celebrate the finest in mustaches belong to members of our beloved body modification community. Today’s featured soup strainer belongs to the lovely Dee, who was last seen here melting our minds with this piece. It’s funny—in my experience, it hasn’t been uncommon to hear people claim that septum piercings, by and large, make people seem more intimidating than any single other facial piercing. At the same time, though…they enable you to do stuff like this. Which is kind of the opposite of intimidating.
More photographic evidence, after the jump.

Well that was a fun day, no? Pretty people, a cute puppy, and the glorious return of the Fire Joe Morgan-style article takedown; as far as I’m concerned, a day like that deserves a crown on top. Now, I know I had to eat some shit the last time I posted a photo of a microdermal augmenting a tattoo, but I think this piece is a little more nicely executed, and maybe makes a bit more sense conceptually. Wear it well, ModBloggers.
Until tomorrow.

I have to admit, I’m still sometimes amazed by the radically different ways in which people may develop scars as a result of cuttings. Here we’ve got a pair (actually, a trio) of cuttings that illustrate this nicely. Up above is a scarification piece by Wendi from Ann Arbor, one year old at this point—healing well and evenly, leaving a somewhat faint scar. After the jump, another pair of cuttings by Wendi that took a wildly different turn.
Night and day? Night and day. The single-line around her breasts is six months old, and the lotus cutting is three months old. The wearer in this case is referred to as “my muse”—with good reason, it seems! Obviously, bits of the breast scar have underdeveloped in relation to the rest of it, but what a reaction nonetheless.

Oh, hello! Welcome to the nation’s leading renter’s insurance advice column, “PVC Wednesdays”! Today we have the lovely Cyberesque and her man, all done up in the shiny black stuff, posing at London’s Torture Garden back in 2008. Handsome couple, no? After the jump, they ditch their earthly bondage for something a little freer.

Good day, ModBloggers! I don’t know about you, but it’s kind of grey and wet and generally miserable over in these parts, and I could use a pick-me-up. What I could really go for is a picture of a pretty pierced girl making funny faces while holding an adorable dog…well holy shit, look at that! That’d be Sweet Dee, with a septum pierced by Phish while at HTC in Phoenix, Arizona, and holding onto one her apparently many heart-stabbingly cute dogs. Yeah, that’ll do nicely.
I honestly don’t know what I like most about this photo of BobBert. Is it the great smile? The fancy newsboy cap? The discreet piercings shrouded by glorious facial shrubbery? (And, by extension, the opportunity to use my beloved hearty beards tag?) Maybe the fact that he’s beaming that grin because he’s about to get a Prince Albert piercing?
I’m going to say…all of the above. Is that allowed? Hey, I’m the editor here, you bet your ass it’s allowed.

Hey, it’s Justinne, looking mighty sharp with that head of long, luscious ha—oh. Never mind. “Wearing my wig and dressed up nice,” she says, “hiding my shaved head to go job hunting.” If you’ll look after the jump, however, we have irrefutable evidence that she looks great with a shorn scalp as well. Everybody wins!

Hope you’ve been enjoying your Memorial Day, American ModBloggers. The sun is still out, so if you haven’t high-fived a military officer, downed a pitcher of margaritas or fallen asleep in a kiddie pool, there’s still time! If, however, you’ve resigned yourself to the fact that your blissful long weekend is over and it’s back to the acid mines first thing tomorrow, maybe the lovely Lesha will lift your lilting spirits. Almost everything you see there (minus the tattoo work) was done by the illustrious Steve Truitt at Stay Gold Tattoos in Albuquerque—the three forehead microdermals and star implant in her chest, at the very least.
I would probably lose my mind with piercings so close to my eyeballs, but these “crow’s feet” piercings seem pretty well placed and out of the range of impeding movement or vision, so hey, as Scottie Pippen would say, I take my hands off to you. But what inspires a person to get her crow’s feet pierced?
Well, I woke up one morning and I asked my boyfriend, “What should we do today?” He replied, “Something really random,” so I suggested to get piercings done. Off we went to venture our decision to get piercings. He said I should get my crow’s feet done and he got his transverse lobe. Surprisingly, it really didn’t hurt.
