The tattoo below (c/o Pooner) of Captain Spaulding by Allen Fielder at Smokin’ Guns in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Maybe Sid Haig will get to see it in person because he occasionally works at the tattoo conventions — here’s Sid and Will Robinson (photo: Terragar) at a recent one.
Thanks to GABO for this funny picture from the Strasbourgh Tattoo Convention.
I get a kick out of this shot of Kevin at the NYC tattoo convention wearing a human rib (as in what girls are made of a real human rib) as jewelry for his stretched septum and ear lobes. Or at least that he tells me. I just realized as I’m writing this for all I know I’m being messed with, ha.
Admittedly I’ve only hit APP twice (one EuroCon, and last year in Vegas), but sadly this year I had to choose between two things I needed to do, and to be honest, both involved many old friends, but one involved a whole lot more drinking than the other… As a guy with very little self control, I chose the non-drinking one. Wish I could be in two places at once! Thanks Barry for this quick shot of Pat McCarthy and Phish causing trouble clown-style.
I’m going to try posting some more tomorrow as well, but like I said before, officially I’m on “vacation” (to the extent that I’m ever on vacation) so please don’t get too irritated if I don’t post.
Thanks to bodymod*starlet for sending in this beautiful on so many levels photo of a suspension she did as part of an art show with the folks at iWasCured London (Ontario, Canada).
Thank you to The Spic for sending me these wonderful photos of a two-point (locking hooks for safety) suicide-style suspension in Wahconah Falls in Dalton, MA. This was facilitated by Rites of Passage. Click the picture for a closer view.
PS. I’m back! But as you may have read on my other blog, I’m going through some mental crap right now, so some days you might be without posts. Sorry, I’m doing my best!
Thanks to my friend B-Boy (who has sent many wonderful things over the years) for sending in these pictures from Thailand’s first (annual?) tattoo convention (see also: Sao Paulo tattoo convention photos). On the whole tattooing is remarkable similar all around the world, but still I always like seeing the subtle differences in style and interpretation in different cultures.

These and more (BME has multiple members in Thailand that were photographing that convention) will be in the next update of BME, which is currently sitting at a massive 5,000+ images. However, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, this server is having mega problems right now. A replacement is set to arrive next week, but I’m afraid something is going to crash before then so we’re working to get stuff moved. I’m very sorry to the people who are patiently waiting for updates, memberships, and so on… We are working on it.
PS. If BME goes offline for any extended periods, you can checking zentastic.com (or IAM) for more information. That’s on a different server and I’ll use it to post if I need to.

Yeah, ok, so there’s very little mod content in that picture, but it is a tattoo shop at least! I admit I don’t have much in my pinup folder for you today, but I should have more to post (male and female) tomorrow night. Or you can just go browse BME if you’re impatient.
