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.

  • Framing Beauty

    I’m in a good mood today, and part of the reason is that I get to post this photo of the stunning Shandi.  In fact, I’m in such a good mood, the rest of today (up until the news post) will be all BME Boys and Girls!  Happy Friday everyone!

    The Baroque inspired frame was done with the intention of leaving it blank, to be filled in with temporary pieces as time goes on.  Pictionary anyone?

    The artist Shandi went to for this piece was Lou Jacque from Transcend Tattoo in Connecticut.

  • The Friday Follow-up

    Today’s follow up is a little on the religious side.  To start with we’ve got a scar from Gabor Zagyvai who is well known for his minimalist style when it comes to both scarification and tattooing.

    To see how it healed up, keep on reading.

    I know you may be thinking that the picture is blurred, as I thought it was at first.  The scar just ended up healing in a way that made the image softer, making it appear hazy.  It’s a nice effect that goes well with the subject matter.

  • Summer BMEFest 2011!

    Got plans for July 2nd-4th?  Nope?  Well you do now!  It’s BMEFest and it’s back with a vengeance.  The boss lady is opening her doors and inviting everyone to come on down for the weekend.  Here are some of the highlights:

    • Lots of room for tents
    • Swimming pool
    • Bonfire (That I will NOT be jumping in this time)
    • Food will be provided, but only the basics like burgers, veggies, and chicken.  If you want something else, feel free to bring it.  Oh, and if you’re over 21, bring the booze (just don’t drive afterwards)
    • Suspensions/Pullings – The space is there, just need some practitioners to sign on and bring equipment.
    • And last but not least… BOUNCY CASTLES!!!  SLIP’N’SLIDES!!! AND MORE!!!

    BMEtv will also be set up interviewing people, so if you’re interested, just let Rachel know in the event forum.

    This is a chance to get to see some friends you may not have seen in a while, as well as a chance to make new ones.  If there’s one thing that’s consistent with every BME event, is that after a few minutes, everyone is like family.  Well, the kind of family that you party your face off for a weekend with.

    What are you waiting for, sign up for the event right here.  (NOTE: Newer versions of browsers tend to have problems with the signup page.  People have found Safari and IE to work when their browser doesn’t.)

    Oh, and those BME Logo tattoos?  They belong to IAM: Klages.

  • Guess What?

    Something a little simple for today’s guess what.  Well, simple in that it’s a single piercing.  Beyond that, well, that’s up to you to guess.

    For those wondering, yes that is blood, as this was taken right after the piercing was done.

    So, what do you think it is?

    It’s an anal piercingLondonlad123 is the owner of this particular bottom and he was kind enough to send in photos of the entire procedure.

    You can see the rest of the shots in the anal piercing gallery.

  • Lightning in a bottle

    Roger from Star City Tattoo in Roanoke, VA has been featured quite a bit lately.  And for good reason.  He’s continually sending in photos of great work.  Although out of all the tattoos he’s submitted, this one has to be my favorite.

    The anatomically correct heart, the directional blood flow, the tree being struck by lightning, it all works brilliantly together.  I also like how the lower half of the heart is done with a strong outline, yet the top half isn’t, giving the top an organic feel, while the bottom resembles a glass jar.
