Good day, fair ModBloggers! Let’s kick things off on this vaunted “Mustache Wednesday” with this shot of Efix (second from right) hanging out with Jay, Nik and Frank, all showing off varying degrees of successful facial hair. But hey, it’s the thought that counts, right? As the saying goes, a man without a mustache is like tea without sugar. Another spoonful, after the jump.

End of the line, folks. Let’s wrap up this Tuesday with this nicely shot set of photos of a tongue-splitting procedure. Looks like good clean work all around, albeit with the use of what looks like Yunnan Baiyao to help stop the bleeding afterward, which, according to the Internets,
has been extensively used and considered a sort of miracle drug for wounds, pain, and hemorrhage. Unlike Western pain drugs, it does not turn off pain centers in the brain, but instead facilitates circulation, bringing oxygen to the injury.
[…] By immediately activating blood circulation, it helps resolve bleeding, pain, and swelling. It heals oozing wounds and damaged blood vessels, while expelling pus and counteracting toxins.
And you can even jog in it! As always, more photos after the jump.

That’s Jon up there, sporting a handsome Boysetsfire-inspired chest-piece by Derek Hutchinson at Sacred Skin South in Des Moines, Iowa. (The quoted lyrics: “This crying, this screaming, my voice is being born.”) The whole piece is nicely done, but the fetal character in the center is particularly well rendered. Also this just made me remember that, back in the day, I always used to get Boysetsfire confused with Boy Hits Car. Because I’m an idiot.

If you’ve been around BME for a while…you almost surely know where this is going. A small, DIY, heart-shaped brand? C’mon…take a guess.
A couple of click-throughs, after the jump.

The last time we featured Jen‘s work here, we were looking at these heavy-duty clavicle cuttings. Now, however, she sends in this lovely sunflower scarification, done in three-and-a-half hours — one of the last pieces she did at Tattoo Angus before moving to Philadelphia for her new position at Infinite. Check out another shot, after the jump.
