A tattoo worthy of wearing a v-neck tee

Seriously, I HATE v-neck shirts, but this tattoo may very well be able to justify the wearing one of those godforsaken things.

Adam’s “Mighty Throat Goat” was done by Zack Ross at No Surrender Studios in San Marcos,  TX.

PS: You may remember this piece was featured previously here, but it’s now finished with background and worthy of an update post.

For a straight on view, keep on keeping on.

Liberation

My new friend, Anthony, is a  young body piercer and talented guitar player from Pittsburgh, PA. When I asked him what inspired him to get pretty extensive  facial work at such a young age (19) this was his response:

I decided to take the step of tattooing my face after a lot of thought. It ended with the result that no job, person, parent, or social stigma should be allowed to have higher authority over my own body then I do. The everyday battle for control over your own body is unimaginable. It seems to be able to modify yourself in any way you must first endure a showering of opinions, discouragement and pressure. So to break free from that is something to be said for anybody who modifies themselves.

Before getting it done I looked deep inside myself and meditated on the decision for a long while before iI knew that it was right. Since the day it was done I have felt like it should have been there all along, and I have never felt more spiritually in tune with myself.

Its a liberating experience, I recommend it to anyone!

For 2 more pics of Anthony’s facial work including what could very well be Modblog’s goofiest facial expression of 2010, keep on keeping on.

How much for a picture?

At first when I saw this photo, the tourist posing with photographs from super heroes on Hollywood Blvd popped into my head. Luckily enough for us though this is just one kick ass couple that met through BME. I love the juxtaposition of his heavily modified face and her perfectly plain skin. Gnomoweb and his bride to be are yet another couple from Brasil. 🙂

A little bit of everything

Efix can always be counted on for sending in great photos of his work. This one is no exception. If you’ve got the time, I highly suggest going through his portfolio which is linked below. If you’re looking for Efix, he can be found at D-Markation in Quebec City, Quebec.

I was adding the category tags for all of the mods on his face and somehow managed to break the tag function. Perhaps I added too many tags?

Mustache me not!

I checked his page to figure out what the meaning behind the tattoo was but he hasn’t posted in a while so hopefully he’ll give us some insight into what his tattoo means or stands for. I’d also like to know if the tattoo is healed or not. It’s incredibly vibrant like it’s new without any apparent redness or swelling.

Clicky clicky!

I wonder if he’s participating in Movember or whatever the mustache growing month is called.

I like beards

Donkey boy sent in this picture of his 2+ in lobes but in doing so it included this close up of his facial tattoo. It wasn’t clear if the lobe stretching was done by Ian McKown of Bound by Design in Denver, CO or if it’s the tattooing but either way, it’s getting on Modblog. I like how it flows around and works with his beard and follows up on to his lip.

Mind The Gap


Hoo boy that’s grisly, but fitting for this, the Halloween season, no? Shane checks in from scenic Columbus, Georgia, to show off this new Columbia Necktie tattoo by Matthew Wertjes at Superior Skin Art. The tongue is a nice touch, too—the tongue in the tattoo, that is, not the split tongue, although we’re sure that has a nice touch too…ladies.

More angles after the jump, including a painful-looking procedural shot.
