This Week in BME


And rounding out our week, here, is the lovely, doe-eyed and excellently monikered McShady, which I’m pretty sure is the name of the Dublin detective school that Colin Farrell graduated from. You’ve worked hard all week, ModBloggers—you’ve earned your sweets.

So it goes, friends. What happened this time around?

Hearty mohawks!

Alex, our Suscon correspondent, killed it all week.

George Waters wrote the weirdest column about tattoos ever.

We baited the commentariat just a little bit.

We went black and white, briefly, for a good cause.

There’s always room for cello.

We’ll be in and out over the weekend, but come next week, we’ll fire this sucker back up just like you’d expect. Until then, enjoy your humid weekend, stay safe and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME.

Tattoo Hollywood, BME’s first tattoo convention, is coming to Los Angeles from August 21-23, featuring contests, prizes and some of the best artists from around the world! Click here for more information.

Yield to the Tongue


Whoa hey, fancy! New-to-BME Nadyne checks in with this “endless knot” scarification piece by Timb Wilton at Third Eye Tattoo in Melbourne, Australia. It’s brand new, she says, but she’ll send in more photos as the healing process continues. That’s what we like to hear, Nadyne! And, hey, Mr. Wilton, we like the cut of your jib, too. Fine work all around, folks. And, as luck would have it, we’ve got a procedural shot, after the jump.

Artful Aid


Oh! Ahoy-hoy, ModBloggers! Thanks for joining us today. If you are indeed inside this afternoon, rather than gallivanting outdoors and replenishing your woefully depleted Vitamin D levels (or maybe that’s just me; lousy rickets), well, then the least I can do is start your afternoon with the lovely Li’l Annie Anderson who, apparently, has fallen right on her stomach on that slick floor. What a hazard. Luckily, she seems to be in good spirits about the whole ordeal. And, hey, how about a deal: You get a nice big click-through of our model here, and in exchange, for the rest of the week, nobody acts like someone with a minor lobe blowout (or lobes with a shape that make them look a little blown out) may as well be covered in elephant shit. Deal? Deal. Good doing business with you, folks.

And again, thanks for coming to ModBlog, your number one cannibal resource.

Oh, You Men


Oh look, it’s Lucas! We feature his lovely wife, Anna, on here so frequently that it’s easy to forget that she’s just one half of one hell of a good-looking couple. In this photo, he’s sporting a set of skin-divers in his forehead just recently put in place by the aforementioned Anna. Hey, you know what they say about the couple that plays together.

After the jump, continuing on with yesterday’s BME Hollywood Exclusive featuring the Twilight gang, we have a never before seen still from the currently in-production Kevin Smith film, A Couple of Dicks. Excited? Get excited.

The Bearing is Pain


Is it just me, or do these top o’ the breast microdermal stars by Damien Caskey at Los Angeles’s RicRoks Tattoos seem vaguely reminiscent of the type of projects done by Sean Dowdell and crew? Not to suggest at all that Caskey is copying them or anything of the sort—I mean it as an observation of how microdermals really seem to be increasingly worn in an almost “fashion-y” kind of way. I’m a big fan of these kinds of microdermal project, so whether they’re becoming “mainstream” or not, I know I’d like to see more of them. And hey, there’s another photo after the jump! What a country.

Silver in Show


Well that was a fun day, no? Pretty people, a cute puppy, and the glorious return of the Fire Joe Morgan-style article takedown; as far as I’m concerned, a day like that deserves a crown on top. Now, I know I had to eat some shit the last time I posted a photo of a microdermal augmenting a tattoo, but I think this piece is a little more nicely executed, and maybe makes a bit more sense conceptually. Wear it well, ModBloggers.

Until tomorrow.

Tried By Fire


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.

Put a Ribbon Around It


Well hey, this is pretty cute! I’m not sure what the source material is, but according to the internets, there’s a whole lot of similar imagery out there. Few other pictures, however, feature a robot girl handing over her mechanical, tungsten-fed heart to a wide-eyed gentleman, so, score one for the microdermal enhancement.
