Alright this last shark week post isn’t technically a “shark”. It is however a Street Shark!!
This amazing Moby Lick tattoo was done by Sagie from Walk the Line Tattoo Parlor in Karlstad, Sweden.

Shark Week pt.2
Written by
Continuing with today’s shark theme we have this scarification by Misty Forsberg (IAM:Southtownbaby). You can find Misty most days at Southtown Tattoo and Body Piercing Studio in Fort Smith, AZ, or over on Hooklife. This scar is actually the second scar she worked on and it’s located on someone’s stomach.

Shark Week pt.1
Written by
I can’t believe that in the two years I’ve been writing for ModBlog I’ve never actually acknowledged shark week. So to make up for it, the next few posts from me today will all be shark related. We’ll kick things off with a very vibrant shark from Eimear Kearney who works at Art and Soul Tattoo Studio in Cobh, Cork, Ireland.

The Friday Follow-up
Written by
As promised yesterday, today’s follow-up is going to be a look at Misty’s (IAM:Southtownbaby) first scarification piece. We first saw it back in April of last year, and then again in June for a 3 month follow-up post.
Here’s how it looked originally..
And here’s how it looks today, with some roses that Misty added recently.
This one really show how differently scars can heal on different people, and even how much scarification can differ on areas of the body. You’ll notice more definition closer to the knee than there is at the top based entirely on the movement of the flesh in that area. Looking back on the fresh photo you can see that the scarification was done evenly, that’s just how this person heals. In any case, Misty did a great job for her first time out, and clearly the client is happy as he went back to her for the roses.

Free Fall Suspension: The Challenge (4th Run)
Written by
The pioneers of free fall suspension at Sinner Team in Moscow have just put together an amazing new video (vimeo.com/47674716) documenting nine new free fall suspension jumps. I’ve said it before, but this to me is the most exciting thing to happen in suspension for a long time, and on the scale of “fun” in suspension, blows away spinning beams, while also being incredibly pure and profound. Not only that, but the way they do it is a pinnacle of safety and professionalism. It makes me very proud to be a part of this community when I see things like this. Watch this full-screen!
There’s also a video folder here — vimeo.com/album/2041995 — that contains all four long videos they’ve done, which show lots of different jumps from people of all different ages, weights, genders, and lifestyles doing them without problems. Anyone can do this with the right training and attention to safety.
On that note I want to mention that on the 28th to 30th of September they are planning one more jumping event, and these are all legal jumps from a building near the Moscow centre, which also coincides with a party they’re throwing to celebrate the team’s 4th birthday (how thrilled am I that my birthday coincides with this team and this event!). The third day will be fairly open and will provide information to those planning jumps in the future, making it the final open event of “The Challenge”. After this they are starting to make a full movie which will accurately tell the story of how this all came about. A flight from New York City to Moscow is only about $500 according to a quick check on Expedia, and I’m sure it can be found cheaper with a minimum of searching. What’s stopping you?
