A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • You Prefer a Gentleman


    Well hey, here we have the only half-evil (if that) Mr_Hyde, checking in from old Italia, showing off, among other things, that handsome cutting on his stomach by Lewis from Trimur Tattoo, in photos by Jacopo Lorenzini. This photo? We’ve got a click-through. After the jump, one photo does and one doesn’t. Guess which is which! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

  • Quicker Than Dust


    **wakes up**

    **cleans self**

    **puts on clothes and fall jacket**

    **goes outside**

    **melts immediately**

    What’s that, summer? You’re sticking around for a while and robbing me of the chance to break out my earth-toned autumnal clothing? Well, fine. I am just going to enjoy a frosty cool beverage, then. I’ll be waiting.

  • Nature’s Onions


    And finally, gentle ModBloggers, we conclude our broadcast day with the lovely Danae, whose presence on these here internets we always enjoy. Does it get much better than a pretty lady sporting some fine tattoo work, clean and subtle piercings and some fancy leather pants? No. No it does not. Well, OK, maybe if she bought the leather pants from a traveling salesman in the Ozarks. There is, happily, another shot after the jump. Until tomorrow.

  • Lie in the Light


    Oh, what’s this? Another excellent scarification piece by noted intergalactic traveler Anders at Flesh Impressions in Broadbeach, Australia (more), you say? Yes, that seems to be quite in character for him, indeed. Here we see his work on familiar muse James, explained by the artist himself as such:

    It’s an old handmade key design from late 1800s-early 1900s—a single line cut with cross hatching to give the key a handcrafted old look. When healed, it will be a subtle and discreet scar on the hand.

    If the result of their last collaboration is any indication of how nicely James heals this sort of work, we can’t wait to see this new piece a little way down the line.

  • It Was Blue and Gold


    And here, courtesy of the fine folks involved with Berlin, Germany’s Superfly Suspension crew, we have a suspension so nice you just want to hang it on your wall—which, um, was kind of the idea, apparently. This may have been done before (likely by the Superfly team themselves?), but we applaud a clever and well-executed take on suspension like this—one that’s a little more performance art than straight spectacle (not that there’s anything wrong with either, of course).
