You Are Evolution

Posted on June 2, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

As you’re all likely aware, whenever we come across modified professionals, we like to give them a little spotlight—it’s important for both members of the community as well as the “mainstream” to know that visible piercings, tattoos or anything else need not keep a skilled person from forging a particular career path. Well, up top there is Kasha, who, as you can see, has all manner of facial piercings, but hasn’t let that stop her from reaching her goal of being some sort of zombie-killing death merchant. As for the chunk of meat in that undead bastard’s mouth…merely a flesh wound, I’m sure. She’ll be fine.

The Bag That Bursts

Posted on May 29, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

So, let me get this straight. You send in a well-shot photo of a lovely tattooed model, sporting a number of piercings and wearing some fancy gold jewelry, and you expect us to publish it on ModBlog?

… Yeah, you’ve pretty much got our number.

Where They Breathe They Impose

100

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.

Depth and Breadth and Height

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.

Upon the Road

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!

Tried By Fire

Posted on May 25, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

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.

The World Rocks Beneath

Posted on May 25, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

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.

Each Trip’s a Trip to Paradise

Can we get real for a second, ModBloggers? Because here’s some truth: Beneath our rough, rugged, defiant exteriors…we here at BME are still absolute suckers for baby pictures like this. This photo is like a meteorite to the heart. Pictured is Amber, moments after her daughter, Rain, was born. I think I just started ovulating.

To Open Or Not To Open

Posted on May 20, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

It’s a shame to be cooped up on a pleasant, warm evening like this one, ModBloggers, so let’s call it a night with this fine portrait courtesy of Ellen Claire Photography. “I’ve had her for seven years now,” says the model of her vertical bridge. “I love this piercing.” Agreed! I’ve always liked the look of a person wearing only a septum or bridge (vertical or otherwise) piercing as one’s only facial piercing, and she wears it well. (And healthily, evidently.)

Fare thee well, folks. Until tomorrow.

The Way You Look At Me When You’re Hunted

Posted on May 19, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Let’s wrap things up today with this chilling shot of Jenya being attacked by some sort of carnivorous argyle bird (“Mark” is its name, apparently). Some reports indicate it may be more of a symbiotic relationship, as with the small birds that eat out of the teeth of hippopotami, but we prefer to believe it’s something far more…sinister. (Because we’re jerks.)

Until tomorrow, ModBloggers.
