Earlier this month—on Friday the 13th—spheniscus was at work when her co-worker, Jowan, at Tribe Piercing in Göteborg, Sweden, thought to offer free brandings, ostensibly on the condition they were “13″ related, I suppose? Well, this is hers! “I literally screamed. The whole time,” she says. Branding is fun.
This cutting comes to us from Steve Truitt, who usually spends his time bumming around New Mexico, but can be found this weekend at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention! Hopefully none of you will read this until tonight, because you’re all having fun, in Philadelphia, at the convention.

Why would you ever get a penis tattoo? This. This is why you would get a penis tattoo. “I blow myself every day,” says latexninja, putting to good use her arm-wang by Nickku at Galaxy Tattoo in Singapore and her split tongue by Roland at Visavajara in Freiburg, Germany.
And like the sands of time, friends … another week has come and gone. What might you have missed this time?
- We started things off with Anna, because why not?
- A brief digression into the virtues of hardcore metal.
- And this is what an infected and rejecting implant looks like.
- Jose Lopez is just ridiculous.
- Joy Rumore put an empowering piece on a cancer survivor.
So that’s that. We’ll be around on Saturday and Sunday, and I should even be able to post a new article at some point. Fun, right? Fun, indeed. Stay safe, ModBloggers, enjoy the weekend and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.
Well here’s the happy couple! That’d be leftie01 on the left (obviously?) and myself (err, not me). Another shot (featuring a leather kilt!) after the jump.
Hang out behind set with Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes as he talks about how he started tattooing and his influences, as he and the boys do a photo shoot for Inked Magazine.
Ah, and here we have some shots from a photo shoot that local favorite lanileegarver (more) did with Johnny Rocket. Another shot from the set, after the jump.
Is there a better way to wake up than to a tattoo of Bear Grylls, the manliest Briton since, I don’t know, the Queen Mother, chowing down on some tendons? No. No there is not. And to the inevitable people who will feel the need to pipe up and claim that Man Vs. Wild is faked or exaggerated or what have you, let me just say you are a heartless cockblocker and I hope a meteor shower hits your television. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go eat a live rabbit stuffed inside a live turtle, for protein.

It’s been a long day, ModBlog, and we think it’s about time to hit the hay and curl up fetus-style like our friend up there, albeit, you know, horizontally. Until the morning.

It’s been a little while since we’ve featured Iestyn (more) on here, but this cutting is too good to pass over. Welcome back to ModBlog, old friend.

This post-mastectomy tattoo was done by Joy Rumore at Twelve 28 Tattoo in Brooklyn, New York. I have to say, it’s hard not to be inspired by work like this.
