I wanna do bad things with you

I’m 100% positive I’m not the only True Blood fan that reads ModBlog, as evidenced by the following photo uploaded by Gabriel Cece.  I just finished watching last Sunday’s episode when I saw this image had been uploaded to the fantasy tattoo galleries, and I immediately had the urge to re-watch the entire series from the beginning all over again.

I have a feeling that the comments section will probably be filled with comments about the show, so while I can ask that nobody posts spoilers from the most recent episode, I can’t guarantee it won’t happen.  So consider yourself warned.

To those of us who have also read the books, what are your thoughts on the differences between them and the TV series?

Smile pretty for the camera

Check out this awesome tattoo by Rain Partlow out of Under the Needle in Seattle, WA! All of my tattoo work is done in black and grey but I’ve always admired really vivid colours in tattoos and this one in particular is extremely eye catching. The shading in particular really stands out. I bet the wearer of this one turns a few heads!

Some BME news follows the jump.

I just wanted to post a brief update to let everyone know that I’ve added over 600 new images to BME over the weekend. That’s in addition to the 100-200 that have been added daily. So far today I’ve added another 30 or so and 14 new videos, mainly from the Dallas Suspension Convention. BME is giving away more free content than ever before, all you need to do is sign up for a free profile. You will have access to between 45-100 photos per gallery in each of the following galleries, Piercing, Tattoos, Scarification, Culture and Ritual. With updates happening just about every day, that’s a lot of free content!

I also want to say how much we appreciate both the constructive criticism (key word being constructive) we’ve received as well as all the positive feedback. Often times you only hear the complaints so I just want to take a minute and say a huge thank you to all of the people who have written in lately to say how much they love the new site. We’ve made several changes based on user feedback so don’t ever think you’ll be ignored; as long as you have something constructive to say, our ears are open.

Before I run off to have lunch and go about my day I wanted to mention a couple of things. The first is that I’ve heard that a few people are having trouble uploading photos. I’d never know it by the massive amount of new photo submissions we get daily but apparently it’s been an issue for some. If you’re one of those people, you may simply need to update your flash player to the latest version. It’s quick, easy and free (and recommended not just for our site). If you’re running Windows and using Internet Explorer, make sure you grab the update for that browser as well as any other browser you may use.

Also, I’ve created a FAQ that should help new users and answer some questions about the site. I’ll add more to it as I see a need but for now I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about it.

That’s all folks!

Thank your lucky stars

I’m sitting on a pile of tattoo photos that I wanted to post and I figured instead of spreading them out over a couple days, I’d do a nice big fat tattoo post. Hope you guys like it.

Now you know I can’t resist posting yet another Star Wars inspired tattoo. I’ll let you guys guess who this is supposed to be. Credit for the work goes to Leo Rojas Valenzuela out of Real Tattoo in Providencia, Santiago, Chile.
