Abstraction in progress

It’s no secret how much I absolutely adore the work of Joey Pang from Tattoo Temple in Hong Kong.  However, Joey isn’t the only artist working at the temple, and it’s high time we took a look at what Jodic Chan has been up to.

This abstract piece is still a work in progress, but you can definitely see where the piece is headed.  While abstract isn’t for everyone, you can still appreciate Jodic’s work from a technical point of view.  Her blending of different art forms into a unified piece is remarkable.  Hopefully we get to see this again when it is fully complete.

Still Beautiful

You may have noticed that this day has been chock full of BMEBoys and Girls, and with good reason.  They’ve all submitted pics in the past week.  For the most part, the pictures that are posted on ModBlog come directly from the BME Galleries, which means it’s up to you, the readers, to send in the photos that you want to see.  Uploading photos to BME is really easy too.  Just log in to your BME account, go to your profile page, click on “Media“, and then click on Add New: Photos on the right side of the screen.  From there you just upload your photos.  Of course you can also upload videos and stories as well.  And that’s it.  Once the photos go through the queue they’re up on BME for everyone to see, and from there can be posted on ModBlog.  You don’t even need a paid subscription to send in photos, just sign up for a free account to be able to send them in.

Now, all that said, I’d like you to meet StillyoungStillbrainless. She sent in this photo of herself, taken by Shelby Hale.  With all the attractive people posted today, you can easily see why I saved her for last: she’s a beautiful girl, in a beautiful photo.

What a great way to end an already great day.

Betsy Braddock pales in comparison

Now I don’t know if this Psylocke can create psionic daggers like her comic book namesake, but she can easily knock you out with her looks.

Of course to get a better idea of just how gorgeous she is, you’ll have to keep reading…

I’m completely in love with the “sewn on” leg tattoos she has.  And the leopard print by Chris Rohaley is pretty awesome as well.

Compared to the British comic book mutant, this Swedish beauty is definitely the better Psylocke in my books.

As the sun sets in the Brazilian sky, Joao_Caldara looks out on the world.  For us at home/work, we get to admire not only the setting sun that he sees, but also see it from a different perspective, which is through his lobes.

Of course some of you may be wondering what Joao looks like in the light.  Thankfully he sent in another photo for your viewing pleasure.

She’s Heartless

Ok, so she may not be heartless, but she is missing some skin in the shape of a heart.  Normally when we see scarification and tattoos combined it’s a scar design over top of blackwork, or a cutting used to enhance a tattoo (or vice versa).   In this case we’ve got a scar that cuts right through her vast assortment of chest tattoos.  It gives a nice contrast to them as it shows that underneath her skin, which is covered in spider webs and zombie legs, she has a heart that is strong enough to push through her exterior.  So no matter what someone may judge about how she looks from the outside, what matters most is what is inside.  Then again we’re here to admire her, which shouldn’t be a problem considering how pretty she is.

You can check out more of Anders’ work in his scarification portfolio.

Home is where the art is

Few things are as visually distinctive as a skyline.  To many, they’re a portrait of home, or at least their home city.  Sure there may be recognizable buildings that people will automatically identify with a city, but a skyline on its own gives the viewer the full picture.  Think of the NYC skyline.  It’s probably the most famous one in the world, simply because of how often it is used to reveal New York as the setting for a film.  Any movie filmed before 2001 had a distinctly different NY skyline than the one we see now, and people notice this because of how recognizable they are.  It’s like seeing the photo of a person you’ve known all your life only with a single feature drastically changed.

As you can see below, BadBadDreams has a strong connection to the city of Taipei, Taiwan.  Ainslie Heilich from Vintage Karma in Stroudsburg, PA was the artist responsible for creating this reproduction of the Taipei skyline on their arm.

Does the city you live in have a distinctive skyline?  I know that Toronto’s skyline is pretty recognizable, even though in the past 5 years it has changed dramatically with the building of a lot of high-rise condos right in front of Canada’s wang (the CN Tower).

Puppy Love

Last week we got a chance to see the beautiful Karina in the middle of a suspension.  This week things are a little bit mellow as she’s lounging around at home.  She also happens to have one of the most adorable pugs I’ve seen in a while.

I’m pretty sure anyone would be that happy laying next to her.

What’s that you say?  You want to see another picture of her?  Keep reading to see exactly why the puppy is smiling.

Oh Brazil, why is your gene pool so incredible?

The mods on the man behind those other mods we featured

You can hardly go a week without seeing the name Efix pop up here. What can I say, the man does beautiful work and he takes the time to submit the images to BME. Yet this post isn’t about the beautiful work he does, it’s about the beautiful work he wears.

When I saw this tattoo as an avatar on the main page of IAM, I clicked it without even noticing the name. I just wanted to see this bright beautiful tattoo in a bigger picture. Then I noticed who it was on, shot him a message and asked his permission to use it. He gladly obliged and let me know his entire torso, throat and arms were  done by Jay Marceau of Quebec City Canada.
