I recently wrote about how the Saddle Ranch Chop House abuses their “Anti Gang Tattoo” Policy to keep out heavily tattooed “gang members” like myself and my tattooer friends but the real reason that we were at City Walk was to see the newly released movie Avatar.
Now anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a huge movie buff. Most of the time the biggest response you’ll get from me is “it was okay.” which generally means just that. When asked about Avatar, I said I liked it which means a lot coming from me. One of the things I liked was the integration of mods into the characters. It was so seemless and natural that is it wasn’t for the fact that some characters had stretched lobes and some didn’t, I would have assumed it was just the way they were “born”.
The movie’s male lead is a “jar head” and has stereotypical tribal tattoos. I couldn’t find anything better so I’m using the images from the movie’s website. He’s got a tribal half sleeve on one arm which you can see a smidge of and a tribal armband on the other arm.
I’d be interested to know if these are Sam Worthington’s real tattoos or if they were fakes used for the movie. Google was about as helpful as ever in directing me to celebrity tattoo sites that had the typical Angelina Jolie tattoos and not much else. This stuff isn’t as interesting, click through to see some more shots from the movie.
Nothing like scantily clad tiger/cat people to make your night more enjoyable. The female lead in the movie, Neytiri, has what look like 1/2″ stretched lobes, as did several of the other planets indigenous population. Coupled in with natural “stripes”, which remind me of Katzen, they flowed extremely well. I know it’s only a movie and these are just characters but that’s one beautiful looking cat lady.
The last “modification” though not a consensual one, is a mod that we’ve featured here on Modblog many times. We’ve seen all sorts of facial scarification like this one done on bouncers, bounty hunters and other people who want to look like they’ve either been stabbed or attacked by bears. Either way, I think the makeup department did a great job on this one because it looked really realistic on screen.
All of that being said, I definitely would recommend the movie. We saw it in 3D but I think it would be exceptional without the added special effects.
If I had more time, I’d make an IMDB style database of all the mods in movies, just for fun.

Well,I must say that for me one of the reasons watch this film were female lead’s stretched lobes.But, as well as I saw this film I think they’ve made a really great job thinking about the charecters and their features.I think there are several things that are normal for most modified peaple and were aso normal for Navi in this film, but they are not understood by the other people(nor it real life nor in film).

I definitely loved Neytiri for her stretched lobe (only one was stretched, not both). I loved the nasallang homeboy clan chief was sporting as well!
I saw it in 3D too and thought it was the best movie I’d seen for a long time. I love me some bioluminescence!

I dunno about half an inch on Neytiri’s lobe. The Na’vi were almost twice the height of people, and the scene where you see human Jake with Neytiri, look at his hand compared to her lobe. I’m gonna say her lobe was somewhere around an inch, maybe more if I could have gotten a better comparison between humans and the Na’vi.
Either way, awesome movie. I also loved how the various mods were so integrated with the characters.

I knew when I saw the preview that there was at least one of them with stretched lobes. Awesome.

I couldn’t remember if it was both or just her right lobe like in the picture. I saw it in 3D so it was kind of hard to tell because the 3D glasses were a little uncomfortable. Either way it was a great movie.
