Back On Course


Good afternoon, folks! Let’s kick off our day with this fun addition to our esteemed collection of hand and knuckle tattoos by Jeff Miller at Body Art Tattoos in Stratford, New Jersey. What can we say? We enjoy vaguely-antagonistic-but-good-humored-nonetheless tattoos. We hope this gentleman gets some good use out of his newly adorned knuckles.

And hey, it’s Friday, ModBloggers. Right in the face.

Above the Range


We last featured Winnipeg’s Kurt Wiscombe as part of BME’s coverage of the Art Fusion Experiment two summers ago, where he was among a group of collaborators that included Paul Booth, Matt Ellis and Alex Adams. Kurt’s artistic credentials, clearly, are no joke, so it should come as no surprise that he would be responsible for a piece as handsome as this “waves, rocks and peonies” sleeve. Luckily for all of us, we’ve got a few more shots post-jump.

The Reindeer Effect


Oh Jesus Christ. The last time we saw Josh, he was about to murder us with an ax, as he is wont to do. Well, this monstrous beast has returned, and he is just terrorizing the Crystal Lake campers, or something, as captured by intrepid photographer Dave Barnhouser of 13th Hour Photography. Barnhouser, by the way, has a gallery opening at Gallery 788 (788 Washington Blvd., Baltimore, MD) on October 1 from 6-9 p.m. This will surely be, if nothing else, a testament to his immeasurable bravery. More shots of your friendly neighborhood ax-murderer, after the jump.

Take Him By the Tail


Oh hey, it’s Nik Santos! Here he is, amusing the local schoolchildren in Grass Valley, California (possibly?) with his comically over-sized 5/8″-inch thick “bull ring from hell,” as he puts it. What’s the best way to win over young Nik? “If you’re straight edge, have mods or get naked,” he says, “we could be friends.” We think he’ll get along juuust fine.

After the jump, Nik becomes ensnared in an organic finger-trap. Let this be a cautionary tale to ye all.

This Week in BME


And finally, friends, we conclude our broadcast week with Sweden’s own Jhnah, who is upside down, maybe? No? Well then! We figure she’s got some “hair-raising” adventures planned for the weekend ahead! Right? Hair-raising? Because…guh. Never mind. Have a bonus photo as penance for my awfulness, after the jump.

And that’s it! What went on this week?

Lilli was attacked by some terrible chocolate monster. She will be missed.

Mindi impressed all with her handsome implants. Hand implants, that is.

It’s 3 O’Clock, how much fun are you having with your lobes?

Jackalope Number One.

We posted a really excellent interview with Bob Roberts that we’d love you to read if you haven’t already.

Right, and here’s a real dickhead.

We’ll poke around over the next couple days, but Monday is when things get going again for reals. Until then, folks, have fun, stay safe, vote for Candace and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME. Shana Tova.

One Way Or Another


So, we’ve featured Jusn (more) and Lilli (cupcake!) on here separately as of late, but, hey, it is a crime and an abomination to not show these kids off together. Sure, it’s not the same without someone’s dad being hoodwinked or some evil chocolate monster, but this is one handsome pair nonetheless. If you only let one photo on the internets melt your heart today, let it be this one.

Fleeing the Scene


Oh, hello, and welcome back to Syringe Week here on The ModBlog, your source for the finest in syringe-related photography! Yesterday, we featured Autopsy and his nurse, kindly reviving his ghostly, cadaverous body. Today, such a miraculous turnaround is not required, as our model simply requires a little more color, and her religion forbids the use of lipstick (probably). A fine alternative, indeed!

Wherever You Go


And so, continuing today’s impressive streak of highly pleasant young women—a rarity around these parts, we know—here we have Mindi, the pride of Brisbane, sporting, well…a lot of pretty excellent looking work, to be honest, and can count among the contributing artists the eminently talented jOELTRON and Brendan, the latter of whom we’ve noted here a few times lately. This, then? A lovely collision of some of our recent favorites. We love it when a plan comes together.

Take a Piece


Good day, gentle ModBloggers! Hope the weekend treated you well. Let’s begin this Monday with Lilli and this terrifying chocolate dessert monster. Interestingly enough though, this cupcake is actually regulation-size—Lilli, on the other hand, is only eighteen inches tall. Visit her at HTC Body Piercing and see for yourself!
