A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    Now that’s a geeky tattoo!

    Thanks to The Eternal for sharing his new tattoo by Bear at Exotica in Florida. He also has “NERD” and “DORK” tattooed on his knuckles…


  • Have I mentioned my vacation to Belarus?

    Assuming I haven’t been conned, this tattoo was done about eight years ago at Y Lisici in Minsk, Belarus. Note to readers: While I am very happy to accept modest photos and expect no more, it is true that the less clothes you have on when you take the picture, the more likely you are to appear on ModBlog! I don’t know if that’s something I should be ashamed of or not, but I’m trying to omit “shame” as an emotion I am capable of feeling.

    Oh, and have I mentioned that ModBlog is often NSFW? Well, if you hadn’t figured that out already, I suspect you wouldn’t be reading this site anyway.


  • Navel Removal

    Take a close look at this photo and you’ll notice the total lack of a navel. It hasn’t been Photoshopped out — it’s been surgically removed… As will probably come as no surprise, this is via the always cutting edge Emilio Gonzalez of Venezuela, currently opening a new studio in Belgium.

    His slogan? CHANGE YOUR MIND, I’LL CHANGE YOUR BODY.

    As well as via IAM and Mithos Tattoo, you can contact him at [email protected] if you’re looking to have work done.


  • He’s a Christ Puncher

    Sorry I haven’t posted more male pinups for you — guys, you need to send them in to me! Stop being so bashful! Let’s get started today though with IAM:kanashimi, who just about cut off his hand with a powersaw and needs your healing vibes.


  • I swallow? Facials please?

    I don’t want to be rude and guess at the precise meaning of this particular gag finger tattoo… For all I know the “WTF” subtext gives it a definition of “if you cum on my face, I’m going to be royally pissed off at you”, rather than it being an invite for bukkake. Either way, thanks DTM for sending it my way.


  • Killing two birds with one stone

    Yes, this person is being pierced and tattooed at the same time. Thanks to IAM:ToxicSkin (the piercer in the photo) from Original Skin Tattoo in Belvidere, Illinois for sending in this picture.


  • Heart-Shaped Daith

    Check out this very nice custom-jewelry daith piercing (in 16ga) by the very talented John Lopez at Slave to the Needle in Seattle. Oh, and if you don’t know about the naming of the daith piercing (pronounced “doth”), click here, because it’s an interesting story.


  • I AM

    I’ve written about tattooed Christians in the past, and there are many of them on BME’s community site as well — some very Conservative and born-again, and of course many more free thinking ones as well (and plenty who’ve lost their faith). One of my favorites is IAM:GotPriapus who has a great “matching tattoo” with Jesus that I quite like conceptually.

    Tattoo by Chris C. (after Stephen Sawyer) at American Tattoo in Pittsburgh.


  • Desi’s New Lips

    You know all about gag tattoos like the tattooed finger mustaches that I post semi-regularly… but how about gag piercings? Check out Desi‘s new lips, care of a play stapling on IAM:railville. Not that I’m not 100% in support of any possible prank, especially ones that involve body modification, but methinks people may have a little too much time on their hands — and that’s a good thing!


  • Upside-down Hooks

    It doesn’t matter who this is a picture of (and I think it’s actually an old picture anyway), but I always cringe when I see this particular hook placement for pulling — and I see it very regularly. When someone pulls, they never lean backwards (since humans tend to fall over when they do that), but pullers almost always do lean forward… Think about the way the hooks will rotate when the body leans that way, and you’ll see that they can easily either rotate out completely, or rotate just part of the way, hooking and piercing the inside of the hook channel. Ouch!
