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.

  • Yield to the Tongue


    Whoa hey, fancy! New-to-BME Nadyne checks in with this “endless knot” scarification piece by Timb Wilton at Third Eye Tattoo in Melbourne, Australia. It’s brand new, she says, but she’ll send in more photos as the healing process continues. That’s what we like to hear, Nadyne! And, hey, Mr. Wilton, we like the cut of your jib, too. Fine work all around, folks. And, as luck would have it, we’ve got a procedural shot, after the jump.

  • Let’s Flail Together


    Sweet fancy Moses, can you believe it’s been almost a year since we’ve featured the very lovely Kristina on our fair ModBlog? This is shameful and inexcusable. Here she is, taking a breather in Thailand, possibly, I don’t know, carefully inspecting a map just beyond the border of the image? Hey, why not.

  • You Can Always Find a Party


    “Hey Ginsberg,” the commenters asked, “where are all the attractive Russian guys on ModBlog? Are you hoarding them for winter? Do you have them stored in Matrix-esque pods, allowing you to live off of the hearty nutrients extracted from their bodies? Have you locked them in your basement, chained to a pole, forced to turn a crank that heats and provides energy for your home, for all eternity?” These are half-truths at best! See? Here is the dashing Enigmified, healthy as can be, straight out of Moscow, Russia. Big lobes, bright tattoos, bedroom eyes—what’s not to like?

  • A Blue One and a Yellow One


    Hello, ModBloggers! Let’s start the day off with this skin removal piece by Paulo Vitor, hanging out at Caos Body Art in sunny old Barra Bonita, Brazil, and, apparently, cheating at every game of Tic Tac Toe he possibly can. (More evidence after the jump.) Now, I’m not saying we need to question the integrity of body modification artists—not at all. Maybe just don’t turn your back on one during a game of strategy.

    Welcome back, folks—we’ve got till noon, here comes the moon.

  • I Can’t Believe in the View


    Well boy howdy, I can’t think of a better way to wrap things up today than with this outstanding backpiece-project worn by Barcelona’s own Lewis Dodd. It’s been two years in the making (by Kabra at Elektrikstrom Tattoo in Valencia, Spain), but now? Now it’s finished, and it is glorious. I’ve said it before, but because it’s so commonplace, I think it’s pretty easy to take for granted how great pieces like this can be—you see some traditional Japanese imagery and figure it’s just some flash off the wall or what have you—but this is just a pleasure to take in. More shots of the full suit, after the jump.
