Wyrd Up!
Written by
For a guy that’s been featured on ModBlog many times, it’s actually pretty rare to see Gábor Zagyvai (IAM: Wyrd) in front of the camera. What makes these pictures special is that they’re of his very first suspension.
That’s Péter Hidasi and Gergely Komáromi on the right getting Wyrd ready.

Raven Scratch
Written by
Meatshop Tattoo is quickly becoming one of the names to watch in terms of both abstract and dotwork tattoos. You’ve seen Peter Madsen‘s works on ModBlog quite a bit over the past couple of weeks, and now he’s joined IAM, allowing us to get to know him a little better.
The last 12 years of my life have been all about creativity: big or small, simple and sophisticated, everything from painting and sculpting to building special-effects. The same creativity has sent me in many interesting ways, I used to run a Special Effects company, and resided in the United Kingdom and Sweden.
At some point in my creative rush, I realized that I was not doing anything in particular that had deep meaning for people. I began to wonder how I could put my creativity to some more rewarding use. One day it struck me: tattooing was simply the way.
In early 2010 I did my apprenticeship with an old friend of mine, Jesper Berthelsen, who now works primarily as an armourer and silversmith, but also has been a tattoo artist for many years. He taught me the basics of the ancient art form that is tattooing, and I had a good start before I was allowed to throw myself in the actual craft. Since then I have worked very hard every day to perfect my craftsmanship and I am very pleased to say that I do not regret my choice. Tattoing is live-giving, both for me and my customers.
About my work: Tattooing for me is an art that must be combined with man’s natural beauty. Trying to do “painting” on the body does not work for me – my desire is to create art that goes hand in hand with the skin and the body. For the same reason I have a fondness for ornamental designs, dotwork tattoo and scratch-work tattoo. My style is heavily inspired by Old Norse and Scandinavian art, Middle Eastern, geometry, black work and body dynamics.
Here’s one of his scratch-work pieces, a full raven sleeve.
Be sure to check out his BME Portfolio Gallery to see more of his work.

Jake‘s beard is looking incredibly magnificent in this photo of his suspension with Mindi, and thanks to the wonders of tape, I don’t even have to censor anything.

Sacred Heart
Written by
It took me a few minutes, but I’m pretty sure the writing on the inside of that hand-heart says “Sacred”. Oh, and the scar, that’s by the birthday boy, Brian Decker.

Taking flight for a good cause
Written by
According to MrHardKor, around 300,000 geese are killed every year at the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport for safety reasons. When MrHardKor, an artist and taxidermist by trade, discovered that the geese were being killed and then destroyed, he knew he needed to step in. Together with a group of like-minded individuals, he created “De Keuken van het Ongewenste Dier” (Kitchen of the Unwanted Animals). The organization receives the geese from the licensed hunters, cleans them, and then serves them at events in and around Holland.
The following pictures come from one event that the group catered. It was the opening of an art fair entitled “Bacchus and Soul”, and they served smoked goose. It was there that MrHardKor hooked himself up to a pair of goose wings and some balloons to serve the geese with style.
Check out the Other Ritual Fun gallery for more photos from the event.

If the Sin City sleeve you see on today’s BMEGirl looks familiar, that’s because we first saw it over a year and a half ago. That said, make sure to hop on over to the BMEGirls gallery to see even more photos of the lovely Ms Spunck.
