The vultures are circling
Written by
Not because something is dying, but because there was a whole lot of burnt flesh lying around after this branding. Here’s what Brian had to say..
3 hour branding session on my buddy Joe, the toughest person I know. Who else can have full conversations and text message while getting drawn on with electricity without flinching? Having to continually stop to clean ink and blood off the ESU tip was the only thing that slowed me down. Thanks to Lalo Yunda for help with the drawing.

Cropped without Photoshop
Written by
IAM: Spiritual_Paladin had his ears cropped yesterday, resulting in a pretty unique look. Unfortunately he didn’t include who the artist was, so hopefully he’ll comment so I can give proper credit.
To see more photos of his ears, including the other side, head on over to the cartilage removal and reshaping gallery.

Under your skin

Arachnophobes beware, this post is going to freak you out.
So it’s been a long time since the name Emilio Gonzalez has appeared on ModBlog, which is a shame because he is still one of the finest body modifications working today. And just to prove it, here’s a healed look at one of his more recent implants.
Yep, that’s a spider. Enjoy the nightmare fuel that brings you. Would this be a bad time to bring up the urban myth of the spider laying eggs in a person’s ear, only to have them hatch and work their way out. Maybe this one went in, instead of out.
For those looking to have work done by Emilio, you can reach him at his shop, Mithros Tattoo in Caracas, Venezuela.

The Friday Follow-up
Written by
For this next scarification, we head back to Brooklyn, NYC where Brian Decker created this beautiful snail cutting/branding combo for IAM: Polareyez, which was featured back in October.
Here’s how it looks today.
As you can see, it’s much lighter than the scar I posted earlier today. While it’s located on the lower abdomen, and it was cut by Brian, that’s where the similarities stop. Genetics, skin type, aftercare, and many other factors can change how a scar forms on a person.
One of the main reasons I started up the Friday Follow-up posts was to showcase just how varied scars can heal, in addition to showcasing the many talented scarification artists out there. To date there have been over 60 follow-up posts, and I hope to continue the tradition as long as I can. So artists, and those of you with scars, send in your photos to BME (both fresh and healed) so we can keep the Friday Follow-up going for another 60 weeks.

A portrait of the artist
Written by
Arseniy is no stranger to ModBlog, but it’s been a while since we last looked at just him. Gone are his long golden locks, and unless I’m mistaken, there appears to be a beard under that mask. For a guy who spends most of his time off camera behind the scenes, he does look like he belongs in front of one.
The forearm implants were put in by Arseniy himself and the photographer is Ivan Zakharchenko.

Grinding the Gears

During last weekend’s Philadelphia Tattoo Convention the hotel rooms were full of all kinds of shenanigans. Meanwhile, down on the convention floor, Brian was working hard on this and many other new scarification pieces.

Dippin Dots
Written by
Dotwork tattoos are fascinating. To create a complex image by hand using only single dots sounds like it would be mind-numbingly tedious, yet artists like geRi manage to make it look easy.
