Pizza? Good. Old school tattoos? Good. Food tattoos? Good. I think we all know how I feel about this piece.

Six-Hour Suspension
Written by
It’s not infrequent that we touch on the subject of how difficult it is to do something in the arena of suspension that’s truly unique, which says more about the popularity of the act than the creativity of the people involved in it, but nonetheless. Well, Chris Glunt (who, we should mention, is very experienced with suspension) recently undertook a suspension that was low on theatrics, but which relied on a rare sort of dedication. On his blog, Allen Falkner writes:
Believe it or not, his goal was not to tie, or even break the record. Although he did, his real goal was to attain a new experience. Prior to hanging he did a week long fast and then deprived himself of sleep for a night. Chris did fall asleep for 45 minutes 3 hours before suspending and really I’m not sure what effect that may have had on his whole experience.
I know one of his goals was to pass out, sleep or possibly leave his normal mental state. Did he accomplish it? By his own account, no. However, I feel that he is still processing the whole experience. As someone that has done both fasting and sleep deprivation experiments, I can honestly say that it takes a bit of time to put it all in perspective. The experiences are exhausting and draining by themselves. Combine a 6+-hour suspension in with that and the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual change can and will take some time to fully comprehend.
A few more shots, after the jump.

The last time Jeff was featured on ModBlog, it was a handsome shot, but tragically, no mustache. This time? Mustache. I’m not saying one is necessarily better than the other, but … well, yes. The one with the mustache is better. Grow mustaches.

Steve Truitt: Coming to a Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention Near You, in Philadelphia
Written by
So! That Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention that all the movie stars are talking about? Well, it just got 22.8 percent sexier, because the word is that Steve Truitt will be sharing a booth with noted gridskipper John Durante, offering cuttings and all that good stuff. Above is one of Truitt’s most recent pieces: a dainty lily! Your common StumbleUpon user is thoroughly disgusted.
As well, there is still space available for people/shops/etc. looking for booths. Visit the convention’s web site for details, or call Troy at 215-882-1362.

This Week in BME
Written by
It’s been a big week, ModBlog: Sit down and have you some BME cake. I’m sure the lady in the plaid, whose birthday it is, and who got a silicone triangle implant in her chest at Happy Family Body Art in Torino, Italy, won’t mind at all.
And that’s the week, folks. So what were the barnburners this time around?
– A hobo got dragged around by a puffy little dog.
– Miss Duveaux got the diamond she’s always wanted.
– Coming soon to a diabetic near you: Glucose-monitoring tattoo ink!
– This is just one hell of a nice sleeve.
– Fuck you, penguin! (No, really: Fuck you, penguin.)
And there we have it, ladies and gents. Check back in over the weekend for some more goodies, and then we’ll be back at full-speed, as usual, on Monday morning. Be safe, ModBlog, don’t forget to cheer for Mickey Rourke on Sunday, and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.
