It’s time for another video from the Brisbane leg of the BME World Tour. The past two videos have been from from Wild at Heart, and this one featuring Aaron Bond brings the count to three. Aaron talks about both his inspirations, as well as his thoughts as a tattooist who splits his time between Australia and Sweden.
To check out the video, just keep on reading.

One of the best things anyone can do during the summer is head out into the wilderness, set up a tent, and get away from the world for a while. For some it’s about getting away from the hustle and bustle of every day life, others take the time to commune with nature, and for a good number of people, it’s a chance to get together with some friends and do some bonding. For these guys, it’s definitely a bonding experience. Come rain or shine, these three will always have something to remember their days spent camping in the woods.
And here’s a close-up of the tattoo by Alexey Zamotevsky from Kipod Tattoo, in Tel Aviv.

So here’s the post a number of you have been waiting for. In what I believe is a ModBlog first, Samppa has sent in photos of a complete navel nullification. With posts like this I normally show you the before and after shots, but with the image of the procedure being so large it’ll be behind a click though so it doesn’t clog up the main page.
To start with, here is the end result, 3 weeks after the procedure.
Obviously healing isn’t complete, but it gives you a good idea of what it’ll look like. To see how this was done, just keep on reading.
Samppa is still on his US tour, so if you’re interested in this procedure or any of the other many thing’s he’s capable of, check out his website. He also has a BME portfolio gallery that’s filled with all sorts of other modifications.

With the swastika being a spiritual symbol for centuries, to see it depicted on the palms like this really reinforces that spiritual connection. While the diagonal swastika has gathered a negative stigma in the west, and justifiably so due to the perversion of the symbol, in this instance the diagonal symbol is needed to make the design complete when his hands are put together.
As you can see, if he had an upright swastika the center line would have disappeared in the crease between his hands.
1DeX6 sent in this photo to the hand tattoo gallery. According to the description it was done at Tattoo Мастерская Александра Ветрова, in Omsk, Russia.

Since we established last time that Rebecca is proud to be a MILF, I really couldn’t pass up using this headline seeing as how she just got herself some horns from Tony Snow.
Ok, all together now.. “Awwwwwwwwww”
For those wondering, baby Emory is three months old.
Oh, and there’s more shots of the implant procedure in the implant gallery.

Yesterday we saw a triple tandem suspension in which three people shared an incredible experience with the help of their suspension team. Today is all about the individual. While suspensions for the most part require the assistance of trained practitioners, in that moment when the person steps off the ground and into the air, everything else just falls away. Lassi and the Scar.fi team have managed to capture that feeling in a single photo. For this woman, she is taking a leap upwards, away from the ground and into herself, opening up a window that may never have been opened if she hadn’t taken that first step.
You can see more photos from the Scar.fi suspension team in their BME gallery.

We’re kicking off this fine Tuesday morning with the tattoos of one IAM: Ratcaver. Now you may recall her David Bowie photoshoot from last November where we got a good look at her double collar bone implants. Taking a gander at her back we can see how she’s opted for a very minimalistic style with the dotted line on the spine and the screw head on her lower back and wrists.
After looking at her IAM page, it’s clear that she has a very specific plan for her modifications, and these tattoos are only a piece of a larger puzzle. Credit for the tattoo goes to Andy Zert-One from Paradigm Body Art in Arnhem, The Netherlands.

In an effort to keep trying new and different things, The Sinner Team put together this triple tandem suspension.
Here’s the breakdown of the hook placements. On top is an 8 point knee(?) suspension, although the hooks start at his knees and move up his thigh. From there he has 6 hooks in his chest, and another 6 in his back to hold up the square rigging plate. On the bottom is a single point chest, and a 4 point resurrection. According to the description given, the extra hooks on the top were there to relieve the pressure on the spine, which was an issue with earlier tandem suspensions.
And here is the team that put it all together.
As always, The Sinner Team documented everything, and you can check out all the steps involved in the team portfolio gallery.

So, I wrote this post up talking about how SteelGirl and Cucuy are expecting their baby, but then it turns out they went and had him without sending in pictures of the little guy! So have a gander at the adorable new parents, and let them know you want to see pictures of baby Aidyn.
