Reece Gets His Face Peeled

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

I have to admit, for a split second when I saw these shots of Reece’s facial cuttings by Iestyn, my thought was, “When did Lucky Diamond Rich stretch his nostrils?!” The full-facial black tattoo is pretty high on the list of radical transformations a person can undergo, but when it’s well executed (as it certainly is in this case), the result is really wonderful, I think, and I’m very curious to see how these healed scars add to Reece’s appearance! Some procedural shots after the jump.

This Language That I’ve Found

Posted on March 11, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

These nice clean cuts were done by Franzz at Exiting Body Piercing in Besançon, France. On an unrelated note, I’m going to go trim my cat’s claws. See you in the morning, ModBloggers.

Weather Changes Moods

Posted on March 5, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

The last time we featured Rachel, she was just cold layin’ in the tub, covered in pomegranate seeds, acting as the physical manifestation of complex math theories. This time, well, she’s showing off her fancy new scarification piece by Charles Finnie at Eye of the Lotus in Edmonton, Alberta.

EDIT: Whoops! This cutting is actually on Zara, and Rachel just took the pictures. Thank you to the several thousand people who declined the opportunity to call me a jackass and very graciously corrected me.

That Little Spark of Celestial Fire

Posted on February 28, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

This cutting comes to us from Steve Truitt, who usually spends his time bumming around New Mexico, but can be found this weekend at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention! Hopefully none of you will read this until tonight, because you’re all having fun, in Philadelphia, at the convention.

Unsoiled by the World

Posted on February 26, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

It’s been a little while since we’ve featured Iestyn (more) on here, but this cutting is too good to pass over. Welcome back to ModBlog, old friend.

Drawing Blood in Defence

Posted on February 23, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

And here we have another to add to the ranks of the most-impressive scarification submissions lately, this time from Gibi Body Art in Brasilia, Brazil. And sorry about the delay in posts this afternoon, ModBloggers, there was some Internet trouble at the office. And by “office” I mean the closet in the guest-room. We’ll definitely have another couple posts up before bedtime, though, so worry not.

Steve Truitt: Coming to a Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention Near You, in Philadelphia

Posted on February 21, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

So! That Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention that all the movie stars are talking about? Well, it just got 22.8 percent sexier, because the word is that Steve Truitt will be sharing a booth with noted gridskipper John Durante, offering cuttings and all that good stuff. Above is one of Truitt’s most recent pieces: a dainty lily! Your common StumbleUpon user is thoroughly disgusted.

As well, there is still space available for people/shops/etc. looking for booths. Visit the convention’s web site for details, or call Troy at 215-882-1362.

Not Without My BFG 9000

Posted on February 20, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

This murderous, ravenous hell demon was brought into the world by local sorcerer Brandon Vermillion of Fillmore Tattoo in Fillmore, California. Vermillion, as you may remember, was the centerpiece of this hilarious shitstorm, so I guess we can surmise that, at the very least, he has not gone blind in one eye, thereby allowing him to summon this wretched beast, with a scalpel.

The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down

Posted on February 19, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

And so here we have action personality Chev Chelios, who has been injected with some sort of serum (or maybe implanted with a device? Who knows) that will make his organs explode or his junk fall off or something if his heart-rate falls below a certain level (it’s like Speed, except the bus is a person!), and so he let some tiger maul him on the ass for an adrenaline rush, which should keep alive for at least another 15 minutes. Next on the agenda is a date with Dominique Fisher.

John Joyce, Philadelphia and You

You begged. You pleaded. You weren’t satisfied with a line-up of scarification artists at the upcoming Philadelphia Tattoo Arts convention that featured only John Durante, Brian Decker and Ryan Ouellette. Well, Syracuse heartthrob John Joyce will also be in attendance and is looking to fill up his Friday. How can you resist? You can’t. And not only that, but he’ll be bringing the very talented (and open for appointments) Rick Lohm with him, as well.
