LexTalonis got this Dirty Sanchez finger tattoo as a “protest to the overdone finger mustache tattoos”. In return, I hear his girlfriend has left him as a protest to the poo smear tattoo (j/k). Tattoo by Jason Von Victor at Marlowe Ink in Fairfax, VA.

Based on the original artwork by Robert Lawson (click the link to read the story) from Ferdinand the Bull, I really like this tattoo by Anna Banana at Evolved in Columbus, Ohio.

(1) Great photo. (2) Tattoo by Pawel “Buli” Bulak at Ambulitorium in Poland. Anyway, I’m done for today, but I think I should be back on schedule to keep this blog updated… Thanks again everyone for your support of BME and ModBlog over the past year.

…Or a habitual passport misplacer. One of the two, I’m sure. This was done by Aaron Prosser at Whitsunday Tattooing in Airlie Beach, Queensland, Australia (who I think wishes that the face had been included in the tattoo).

Sorry for the downtime. I’m back for now with lots of stuff prepped, but I should warn that there will be a little downtime over the next week when we move ModBlog to a dedicated server, and I’ve got a bunch of surgeries over the next (probably) month. They’re not expected to be a big deal (click here if you want to see what they’re removing — and have a chuckle at the crazy dude that thinks it’s an implant and that I’m a millionaire), but they’ll mean the occasional day or three of silence.
Anyway, let me start out 2007 with Jacques‘s liberty-themed tattoo done by Kat at Underground Arts in Wellington, New Zealand… I figure that BME and its members are in a constant state of testing where personal liberty begins, and at what point the State is willing to step in and punish you for taking control of your own body, assisting someone else in doing so, or in my case, publishing it and promoting it. So fingers crossed that we see those liberties continue to expand in 2007. Although we’ve had a couple rough patches, I think the notion that “freedom of expression” is a right and “self ownership of the body” is an undisputed truth, grow closer to being universally accepted.
