I’ve had… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
- Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetryby JonathonOne of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.

Meg – I wouldn’t say that all modded people are addicts, but that they’re more open to different ideas, more liberal (generally).
And I think drugs fall into that catagory. Personally, it’s a very rare occasion when I get high, but as long as it doesn’t start causing problems, I don’t have a problem with anyone doing it. And (living in the U.S.) sinse alcohol and cigarettes are legal, I don’t see why pot shouldn’t be.
That said, doing it at work (piercing/tattooing kinds of work) in the quantities picture…prolly not a good idea.

I don’t see why people are getting their pants in a bunch over this. The reason this is on modblog is because, if you didn’t notice….it spells out BME! And obviously, Shannon found it amusing…So he posted it. I don’t get why people are so worried about stereotypes…they are fucking stereotypes! I’m in college and I smoke pot and drink…This must mean I never go to class and am going to fail out, right? I like dealing with stereotypes. I like to be labeled and them prove everyone wrong. As long as you are confident in yourself, and what you believe in, 100% of stereotypes you hear will make you laugh.

I think it looks like horse shit rather than weed. Sorry, but this is so silly. What do the photographer want to say with this one? I feel embarassed as a piercer looking at this.

well since we shouldn’t advertise weed on here even though it’s a part of many peoples lives then we shouldn’t post any thing with alcohol becuase we don’t want people to think that when you get pierced or tattooed it means you’re a drunk ass. also, i think all religious icons should be romoved because not everone who getts a mod is religious and i would hate to have people thinking that i’m pierced for jesus. also there seems to be a lot of blood shots on this site that should not be here because many people who arn’t mod’d may not understand and could possibly think that we all like to be cut up and bloody and maybe think that we think that we are vampiers or somthing. and no more shots that elude to a homosexual life stlye for guys or gals because some people are straight and might be uncomfortable with people thinking that maybe mod’d people are all into people of the same sex, and the same for hetero photo’s because we don’t want to enforce that either… lets see what else… you know, how about only close up pictures of tattoo’s and pierceings edited if need to be to remove all indications of a persons lifestyle that way the only thing people can think about the mod’d comunity is that they have mod’s. problem solved.
and before some one getts all “it’s in a shop!” on me. yeah i know. i can see that in the picture, and that’s not the argument i’m bitching against.

As for everyone going off about “OMG it’s in a shop” so what. You don’t know the shop is open……You don’t know that the person is going home to blaze and has the next day off work.
As for all the tight ass sXe’s out there……your all going to die from not doing drugs…..see…there is this thing called hypertension……and it’s going to cause your little vegan hearts to explode one day from being all stressed that everyone around you is on drugs.
Trailerparkray is sooooo right on!

haha, trailerparkray, I found that entire comment offensive. You should delete it.. now.
but seriously, I love reading modblog comments and seeing how people get so incredibly worked up about a picture, whether its chicken skin or pot.
It’s directly affecting you, so why bother with the negativity? Don’t comment, its that simple, life is waaay to short to be condemning a person for their own choices.. I mean, isn’t that what we all strive for? the right to choose?
