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.

  • It Was Blue and Gold


    And here, courtesy of the fine folks involved with Berlin, Germany’s Superfly Suspension crew, we have a suspension so nice you just want to hang it on your wall—which, um, was kind of the idea, apparently. This may have been done before (likely by the Superfly team themselves?), but we applaud a clever and well-executed take on suspension like this—one that’s a little more performance art than straight spectacle (not that there’s anything wrong with either, of course).

  • Red Sweat


    We do our best to give credit where it’s due whenever possible when we feature folks on ModBlog, but sometimes, if only a little information is included with people’s photo submissions, there’s only so much we can do. This, unfortunately, is one of those times, as the only supplementary information accompanying this series of shots was a mention that they came from Japan. But, hey, when you’ve got a bunch of good looking implants (the eye implant after the jump is pretty intense) like this, you just put it out there and hope someone claims it. Until that day, though, thank you, stranger! As mentioned, more after the jump.

  • Nor Steel Nor Poison


    Welcome back, ModBloggers! Hope you enjoyed your Labor Day long weekend, considering you are almost surely back at school or work or the acid mines or whatever it is you will be doing every day, forever, until Thanksgiving. Anyway, let’s kick off the next few months of daily drudgery with this adorable tattoo of, hmm, risky sex, we guess? This is what happens when Elvira and Dennis the Menace take a weekend getaway and the only movie on HBO at 3 a.m. is Auto Focus.

    It’s Tuesday, dear readers. Back to school.

  • Split Ya Guts


    As we have made mention of many times in the past, ModBlog exists, if for no other reason, than to bring you, the handsome and erudite readers, the very finest in cephalopod-related body modification. Well, here we have a jaunty little octopus, cut into place by Brian Decker at Pure Body Arts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Mr. Decker is currently gallavanting around Berkeley, California, doing whatever it is people do there (smoke medical marijuana and hate America), so feel free to get in touch with him if you are in the market for his particular brand of pain-infliction.

    Enjoy your weekend and your Raekwon, folks!

  • This Week in BME


    And finally, you lovely people, let’s wrap up our week with this bathing suit-area pull, facilitated by Steve and Tracie. If there’s a better metaphor for the end of summer, we have not been made privy to it.

    So goes the week that was. What might you have missed?

    Aw, young love, starring John and Preston.

    Aw, lovely floral sleeves, starring various flowers.

    Mawwiage! This is a very positive week thus far.

    And it’s Natalee (a.k.a. the future Mrs. John Joyce)! Seriously, what’s with all this love and happiness? Can we get a zombie uprising or meteor strike or something?

    Oak is just chock full of implants now, courtesy of Steve Haworth.

    Oh God we are freaking out.

    And that is that! We may not be around a ton this weekend on account of ye olde long weekend, but we’ll be back next week, refreshed and raring to go (maybe). Until then, compatriots, have fun, stay safe, celebrate labor (that’s what Labor Day is for, yes?) and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.
