West sends in these tattoos of his, starring your favorite biblical characters as product mascots! After the jump, Mary appears on the side of a detergent bottle. Beats a grilled cheese sandwich, I guess.

“This piece started with the toast at a convention in Amsterdam,” says the wearer, “then we added the lettering. The sparrows came next, then we threw in some umbrellas and background.”

On this Friday the 13th, let us reflect on what we’ve learned from horror movies: You cannot kill Jason—you can only make him angrier. You can send him to New York, you can send him to Hell or you can send him to outer goddamn space…doesn’t matter. You’re just pissing him off. Perhaps it’s time to resign yourself to the fate that awaits you: no matter what you try to do, you are going to be killed by a psychotic hell-demon in a hockey mask, and tough shit.

Well, quite a whirlwind of a week this time around, no? Let’s refresh our memories:
– We spoke with Mike Beer, he of the numerous wholly tasteless tattoos. Reactions, as usual, were mixed at best. Evidently, not everyone is ready for “rape time.”
– Atlanta kisses some ass (in the form of a tribute tattoo) to get an apprenticeship with Sean Philips. Mercifully, it worked.
– There is a damn eyeball in that guy’s armpit!
– We all told some great stories about getting our septums pierced.
– The Flying Pink Sausage entered our lives.
– We learned a simple lesson: Money talks and bullshit walks.
– Alice got naked in the snow, just because.
– Nacho’s first suspension was a complete success.
And that’s it for us today, folks. We’ll be around over the weekend though, as per usual. Sorry about no podcast this week—there were some scheduling conflicts with one great guest we had lined up, but we should be getting in touch with him in the next couple of days, so don’t you worry. At any rate, stay safe, have a good weekend, and as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.

I have to admit, for a split second when I saw these shots of Reece’s facial cuttings by Iestyn, my thought was, “When did Lucky Diamond Rich stretch his nostrils?!” The full-facial black tattoo is pretty high on the list of radical transformations a person can undergo, but when it’s well executed (as it certainly is in this case), the result is really wonderful, I think, and I’m very curious to see how these healed scars add to Reece’s appearance! Some procedural shots after the jump.
