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.

I Hold The Wound

And here we have the steely gaze of the very lovely, very stoic Anonymous Swede! (Probably not her real name.) Sharp piercings, pleasant symmetry and the always appreciated dark hair/blue (green? hazel?) eyes combination? That’ll work for us!

Bend Up Every Spirit

Oh, what’s this, now? Some young turk, calls himself Will, trying place himself as the heir to the Babasom throne, hmm? With his septum at 18 mm., this gent out of São Paulo can clearly fit a finger in there, but will he challenge the reigning champion with various feats of septum pluggery? Only time will tell. Another photo, after the jump.

Strong as Death and Sweet as Love

Well hey, it’s BME’s resident knife-wielding maniac, Lunar, proving that, while he may not be the most efficient waiter ever, he suffers for his craft, man. Or, you know, is at least mildly inconvenienced. Also, he’s not actually a waiter. God, this story is full of holes. On the bright side? Those are some healthy looking one-inch lobes, and I get to break out the beloved “Hearty Beards” tag. Everybody wins!

Balmy Sweets

Posted on June 18, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Well hey, it’s our old friend Babasom, checking in for our vaunted “Irregular Septum Jewelry Week” here on ModBlog! Babasom is, of course, known for, among other things, just cold stickin’ things through that huge septum piercing of his, all the time. Here, he’s stowing some tasty jalapeno peppers, surely because he does not trust the people at Chipotle or wherever to provide sufficiently spicy fare. To be fair, I would shove the merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango up my nose a million times over before ever letting a worm poke around in there.

Never a Stab Nor Squirm

Sure, we’re all aware by now of the irrefutable fact that, over the course one’s life, the average person will eat several hundred thousand spiders, typically while sleeping, because spiders are nature’s pranksters. As Chuckie from Hungary up there illustrates, however, a lesser-known (but no less chilling) tidbit is that, on average of once a month, an earthworm crawls right up your damn nose. Chuckie’s stretched septum piercing confused this primitive monster from lodging itself in his brain, luckily, but most of us, sadly, will not be so fortunate.

Beat the Ground

Hi, folks! And now, for today’s lesson in symbols. If you see a person waving a white flag, approach and capture them. However, if you see a person waving a self-knitted skull cozy from a sewing needle in their septum, you run. You turn your head and you run and you don’t look back.

(Says MrsRayRay, “Four gauge—the needle fits, so why not?” No argument here.)

Just Like on TV

Well hot holy damn, say hello to Toronto’s own Khymeira. There’s a lot to like here—quality lighting, well-placed and healthy piercings and blue hair? That’ll do just fine. Check out a few more shots after the jump.

I Must’ve Been Having a Ball

Posted on April 19, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Good afternoon, folks! Hope the weekend’s been treating you well. If you’re still bummed out about Anderson Silva dancing around the Octagon last night and refusing to finish Thales Leites, though, then hopefully this photo of the lovely Christine will cheer you up. Pretty girl, nice smile, fancy glasses and simple and complementary piercings? That ought to cure anything short of a kimura lock.
