The first time I saw this photo in thumbnail form, I though it was cool. Though at first glance, I failed to realize he was getting implants in his head, I thought he was just chilling with a lollipop!
Eric certainly looks calm and serene here, sucking on his lollipop while having dermal elevators worked into his noggin.
Webster’s Dictionary defines sportsmanship as : “conduct (as fairness, respect for one’s opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing).”
Well, I should get a good sportsmanship metal for what I am doing here now, posting a nude shot of my closest legitimate piercing competitor Hannah, who works at Fatty’s Tattoo in DC.

Even though we have had some ridiculously Summer like weather in my area, technically, it is still Spring. You know what that means? Dandelions! Weeds to some, beautiful flowers to others, but either way you can’t avoid them.
Ryan Oullette, who a lot of you may remember as the Lord Of The Blade, made sure for one lucky client of his, that dandelion season is year round. I don’t really like dandelions, or any plant for that matter, enough to carve it into my leg. However, if I was going to get a slab of bacon carved into me, you can be damn sure I’d stop by Precision Body Arts to hit up Ryan.
I love cheesy reinterpretations of pop culture icons and ideals, and this piece by IAM member (and regular modblog commenter), Adam Burdine, is a prime example of just that.
One part movie reference+ one part currently trendy traditional style shark tattoo= one very rad and creative piece.
Really, when I came across Dr. Greenthumb’s (literally) green thumb, it blew my mind that this guy hasn’t been on modblog, much less, not all over the intranet.
His tattoo fits him well, being that he is an amateur herpetologist as well as a Cypress Hill fan. It also helps to gives him one of the most legit IAM names ever.
I had to ask the obvious, yet obnoxious, question we are all way too familiar with; “Did that hurt?” to which he responded:
It was a rather painful area to get tattooed. Especially around the cuticle is not pleasant. As of now I have only gotten the color to stay on top with a few blotches on the pad. I am determined to continue tattooing it until it is solid all the way around, then I’m going to tattoo roots and go from there.
For a close up shot of Dr. Greenthumb’s green thumb, keep on keeping on.
Liptril is far from an official name, but when I saw this vertical labret that was pierced through a stretched labret, it instantly reminded me of a septril piercing, and the word ‘liptril” popped into my head.
This creative piercing was done by Marea Vedge on her hubby Alan Vedge. As well as performing piercings this pair also runs Aesthetics custom jewelry company.
This stunning photo shows Dotty at 29 weeks pregnant. A few weeks later Talina was born (on March 30th at 12:59 AM), after 21 hours of labor. She was 10 pounds 9 ounces, and 22 inches long.
BME always get excited when one of our own has a child, it gives us a wee glimmer of hope for the next generation. To see Talina’s picture, keep on keeping on.
Around this time last year I entered my Lemmy is God tattoo into the Philly radio station 1045′s band tattoo contest. For some reason, it did not win.
Now this year my buddy Matt Clark, who you IAM folks more likely know as Robin’s bitch, has entered his Motorhead War Pig hand tattoo in that same contest. If you would like to vote for this bad ass tribute to Motorhead, done by my friend Shlak please go here and do so now.
PS: Robin is also taking part in this contest with her Green Day tattoo. Obviously, when faced with the decision which to feature Motorhead or Green Day, I made the right decision. That being said Robin is a kick ass chic, so I still advise you go here and vote for her tattoo as well!
For those of you interested in seeing this batch of girls who submitted their pictures for possible use in the upcoming BME Girls Calendar, keep on reading. If this isn’t your thing, come back later for other types of modblog post.
REMEMBER: Absolutely zero negative comments will be tolerated!!!!!!

Contestants can be dressed or nude, but nothing too pornographic will be featured. Pictures need to be of decent quality, lest the readers condemn me to hell for posting webcam shots.

Voting last 7 days (168 hours) from the time the girl was posted. Votes will be anonymous, there is no reason for anyone to know who voted for whom and how many votes each girl got. Voting for one week ends when the following weeks post goes up. Please note, this isn’t about competition, it’s about a fun, interactive way to get the readers involved in the selection process.
About Commenting: I am enforcing a strict ZERO TOLERANCE policy for negative comments about the girls. They are being kind enough to share themselves with us and to help BME make a calendar, they should not have to fear public ridicule. Negative comments will be deleted, if we have a repeat offender, all of their future modblog comments will be sent to moderation. This isn’t about censorship, it’s about common courtesy and respect.
John Durante, like Ron Garza, (who I mentioned not too long ago) is another great example of a body modification renaissance man. He owns and runs the extremely popular Evolve Body Jewelry Company, offers piercing and scarification out of Laughing Buddha as well as on the road, and he travels extensively to integrate himself into all aspects of this community of ours.
Amongst his travels he had the chance to get this amazing tattoo by a favorite amongst Modblog readers, Marc from the now defunct, Swastika Freakshop.
