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.

  • Happy Birthday Patrick

    My good friend and mentor, Patrick Bartholomew turned a ripe young 63 today. For the past several decades Patrick has been an active part of the body piercing/modification  world, and one never afraid to push the boundaries. For a good interview with him, check out this 1997 interview he did for BME.

    Patrick’s not on IAM as much anymore these days, but feel free to blow up his facebook with birthday wishes!

  • The best thing on British TV since Mr. Bean?

    My favorite crazy Brits, the Psycho Cyborgs, are up to something.  Recently they took over Camden High Street in London for ten minutes. They are working on a new project and this was one of many upcoming promotions for that project. They can’t tell us too much about it, because the whole point of this is that they are building up interest for when it’s “released” in September – It should  be incredible though!

    SERIAL DRILLER

    Reality shows – Tried, tested and tired of seeing them all? Think again!!

    Horror movies? Well, we have all seen at least a few that have made us cringe, jump, and sometimes be shocked at by all the blood, guts, gore and a few weapons of choice. After it’s finished off you go to bed feeling entertained but knowing it wasn’t real.

    But what if it were? And what if you, the viewer, were in complete control?

    Well now you are…

    This is gonna be utterly insane. Pure sickness!

    It’s entertainment. It’s gore. It’s blood. It’s fun. It’s pain.

    And it’s REAL.

  • Not ON the Adam’s Apple!

    I tell you what I was never a big fan of blackwork tattooing until I started seeing some of the amazing stuff posted here. This piece by  Rain Partlow (Under the Needle in Seattle, WA) is a prime example of excellent black work (with a touch of color). It flows well with the clients body  and it perfectly avoids the Adam’s Apple, a spot that I though hurt like hell!

  • Jamie’s 15 minutes

    Most of you modblog regulars remember Jamie from the recent post showing the gaping wound in her arm being fingered. Well, aside from her interest in creating new orifices to fondle, she’s also fond of body modification history, as she made evident with her quick and flawless answers to my trivia questions.

    As the winner of the trivia, she get’s another 15 minutes of modblog fame. So without any further ado, here’s Jamie!

    For several more pictures and some words from jamie, Keep on keeping on.

    I’m Jamie Mayhem. I’m part of the suspension team called Ritual Arisings, we’re based out of the Detroit, MI area. I’m also into performance art and modeling. Turn-ons include- boys and girls with lots of mods, latex clothing, medical devices, zombies, riot grrrls, and people that look good covered in blood.

    Most of my tattoos were done by Chris McNeill, who now owns Rebel City Tattoo in Cleveland, OH.

    Some of the photos here are suspension pics, some are modeling pics that showed some of my ink. The forearm suspension is from Dallas SusCon, it’s what led to the pic of the hole in my arm that was recently Modblogged. The tandem suspension is with BIOHAZARD.

  • Love can be very subtle

    Jess sent me this picture of her extremely subtle tattoo. This placement seems to be getting more and more common, even though it has an extremely low success rate. That being said, sometimes it does work and when it does, it can be quite awesome!

    I got these beauties done on the 11th of may, it would appear that they have worked! i’m not letting myself get excited just yet, I think once I’ve past the 5 week mark i’ll start to relax about the ink falling out, and get to enjoy them!
    For a totally different type of tattoo about love inside the hand, check back later this week!
