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.

  • Biomech Swallow Tattoo

    I quite like Valdis’s biomechanical take on the traditional swallow design, done in Togliatty, Russia.

  • A Musical Thumb

    The wearer of this “World’s Smallest Violin” thumb tattoo done at I Kandy in Langley, explains, “it plays the saddest songs in the world.”

  • Earlobes Be Gone!

    As you can see in the before-and-after below, like so many people these days (seriously, I see so many people removing their stretched earlobes every day now), Pen Di’Panda decided he’d had enough. A couple more somewhat disconcerting photos of his taking a pair of scissors to his lobes continue after the break!

  • BME Court Jester

    I love how Pjevl totally looks like a modern day jester! His current stats include 10mm nostril piercings, a 14mm medusa, and a 38mm lip plate. There’s a another shot after the break.

  • Ten Years of Pain – Coupon

    One of my favorite books on body ritual, if not my favorite, is Havve Fjell‘s brilliant retrospective Ten Years of Pain (click the link for a review). After being unobtainable for too long, Ryan at BMEshop tells me he’s got another shipment of the book in from Norway. It’s not cheap unfortunately, but it’s worth every cent, and the good news is that if you type in the coupon code “Modblog-Loves-Norway” at checkout, it’ll knock $10 off the price. Click the picture to jump to the shop page now.
