The last time we saw The Enigma‘s facial cutting, the pictures were a little on the low-resolution side, but luckily, Scenester has swooped in with some nice bright shots of our blue friend getting some X’s cut out over his mouth. And, while you’re at it, there’s also a fine vantage point of his ears, implants and the X’s over his eyes. Another procedural image after the jump.

Look, if you’ve been reading BME for a while, you know there are all sorts of good reasons to get genital piercings. They look good. They feel good. You can hide candy in the holes. They make your junk breathable on hot summer days. They open up your sonic options immensely when you’re playing the spoons (*ping*). They’re conversation-starters at urinals. They render keychains useless, thereby saving you untold thousands of dollars every year. BUT, did you know they can also be valuable tools for self-defense? It’s true! At least, that’s ostensibly what M. up there is going for with his line of large-gauge scrotal piercings, stretched to be worn as an organic knuckle-duster. Wouldn’t want to get punched with one of those!

Hey, nerds! (Kidding.) This great calf-piece (calf-sleeve? Reverse shorts? Leg warmer?) from Toronto’s Matt Ellis features various Marvel mutants fighting some wretched Sentinels, who are just throwing fire, trying to kill folks, and just generally shitting on everybody’s good time, because they’re dicks.
You know who isn’t a dick, though? Matt Ellis! He and George Brown, the gents behind Seven Crowns Tattoo, are hosting a gallery showing/sex party on Saturday, May 30, 2009, in scenic Toronto, Ontario, featuring work from several local tattoo artists! Information about the event is after the jump, as well as the remainder of the above leg warmer.
On Saturday, May 30th we’ll be holding the “Monsters, Martyrs and May-sterpieces” show at Rockie Raccoon’s, 2579 Yonge St. in Toronto, a study in fantastically terrifying and disturbingly cheerful art pieces from the tattoo world. We will be displaying our own art as well as that of local tattoo artists, and would love for everyone to come and check it out. The event will start around 8pm, and there will be cheap drinks and free food, along with music by Sarah B. and other features that promise to tantalize and…you get the idea. Come out and celebrate art with us.
That’s a “get there” if I’ve ever seen one. So get there! C’monnnnn.

“Why?” asks the student. “Why ‘Needles’?”
“Because,” the swami answers, “that is his name.”
And then they danced.
(Really though, that’d be Needles, apprentice of Six at Toronto’s Exotix Studios, wearing a fine cutting of his own moniker.)

Well, I’m conflicted. On the one hand, Pyramids‘ new baby sloth tattoo is pretty goddamn adorable and very nicely executed, but on the other, doesn’t this little guy seem a little too active for a sloth? When I think “sloth,” I think of a lethargic tree-crawler, lying on a branch, like a lump, accomplishing nothing, patiently waiting to be taken by death. Though maybe I’m just projecting.
Good afternoon, ModBloggers!
