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.

  • Bink And You Miss It

    Now, before you go shouting about how much you dislike those surprised faces people make, I can safely say that IAM: Rippershow (www) genuinely was!

    Who’d like a “this is the face I make when I have needles through my flesh” category?

  • Is That A Moth On Your Neck..

    Or are you just pleased to see me? I must admit I’m not a huge fan of moths, not that I’d kill one of course, but it’s pretty unlikely you’ll see me French kissing this chaps neck anytime soon!

    This neck piece of mine is my first really visible tattoo. The majority of my work is hidden under my t-shirt and I have a small wrist piece that can be covered by a watch. I have the majority of my pieces planned out and I wanted to move to something visible. I don’t have any deep meanings to the piece, I just love the way the Death’s-head Hawkmoth looks, that and The Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite movies! I was recommended by my artist at the time to see another tattooist due to the complexity of the piece and where it was going to be located. After about three and a half hours of work I could see why she recommended him! We flew through the work and for the area that we did it in it was relatively painless. I watched movies (I’m a bit of a film buff) upside down while he worked, although sadly I hadn’t brought The Silence of the Lambs to watch..

  • Beyond the Chin

    I love this movie and I already have a portrait of Emily on my arm.. The symbol is one of the seven gateways to hell and is going to be coloured black later, but I wanted to try out white first!

  • Your Tongue Will Balloon!

    Well, my tongue ballooned after it was split the second time.. Ed, however, got a free balloon after his. Lucky bugger!

    Please ModBlog this. I was so so good I got a nice balloon. I named him Thomas.
  • BME Update – 2,300 Images

    A nice even numbered update for you today. The beautiful resilient has graced us with her presence. I’ve been grouping the updates by type and that seems to give fairly large updates every other day. I’m hesitant to do daily updates as there is so much going on and the machine requires a fair amount of baby sitting to keep the build process going. While planning for BMEfest, I can’t really commit to that right now. The every other day mega updates seem to work out well.

    As a thank you to those who have been buying their ModProm tickets in advance. I decided to select someone who had already purchased a ticket to receive some custom jewelry from one of our sponsors. Our pre-prom give aways are courtesy of Aesthetics Body Mod. We have 2 more raffles coming up and only those who have purchased their tickets prior to the day I choose to pick out of the hat (just kidding, I’m using a random number generator by order of the guest list) are the guests who are eligible for these amazing gifts!

    The lucky number was 27 which was IAM’s very own JesseV. You could be the next winner!

    Please buy your tickets for ModProm before we sell out! There are only 200 seats available in total and most of those are already gone!

  • Invaders From The Sole.

    Don’t forget to check your shoes before you go to work in the morning, kids. You never know what might be in there!

  • Stop! Knuckle Time!!

    Apologies for the fewer than usual posts today (at least it seems I haven’t posted as much) but it’s been busy and I’m not feeling well. I’ll make it up to you, starting with this impromptu collection of knuckle piercings on (and by) Brian of Studio Graphics, Baraboo, Wisconsin.

    Read more for some tongue-split-on-shiny-knuckle action, and an incredibly deep explanation of how they came to be..

    I just got bored at work and decided to try and pierce my knuckles. It was sore for the first day (Roo: Funny that) but then when I woke up if I had my hand below my waist* the piercings would get mega sore.

    *Erm?!
