The ball in Times Square is about to drop and Tim’s balls look like they are about to explode!

Whether you celebrate tonight by ingesting alcohol or injecting saline (or neither) have a safe, fun night and a great start to 2010. I hope to continue entertaining, educating, challenging and disturbing modblog readers throughout 2010. Here’s a sampling of what I have in store for 2010:

-An in depth look into the life of BME’s punk rock anti-hero perk900.

-Lots more From The Vault features.

-Interviews with some of the most fascinating people on BME who most would never hear of otherwise. I really want to get one with Tiger shark man a true man of the sea, who lives on a boat and has filed his own teeth down to be more shark like.

-I will continue to use words like “taint” just so Ian McKown will continue to have something to bitch about.

-And of course, plenty of sexy women, modified genitals and tattoos that make you go “hmmmm”.

Obviously, you can see the non-censored picture from Tim’s BME Hard bonus gallery by simply clicking through.

Continuing the theme of “why you should visit Montreal” are these incredible portraits by Melissa Valiquette out of Sin City in Montreal.

Coming to you from Poland is this delicious diamond filled strawberry.  The calf belongs to Factorygirl and credit for the ink goes to Slawek, in Poznao, Poland.

Like Dusty here, who submitted this picture of his “Let’s Fuck” knuckle duster tattoo.  No beating around the bush, no games, just straight up letting people know what he desires.

Sure most of us have seen, the much more subtle, “Let’s Fuck” interlocking upper knuckle tattoo that has been going around for years, but Dusty did not want subtle, he wanted brutally honest.

Dusty included this with his photo submission:

>>So the story about my knuckle tats: I fuck alot of broads and I love the dwarves, hence wicked knuckle tat .<<

He also adds:

>>Homeless girls rule!<<

Dusty’s tattoo was done by Helena at Helena’s Tattoos Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada.

My first reaction to this photo was “OUCH!”  This electrocautery BME logo is forever imprinted into IAM member Chavito.

I figure with everyone’s questions about the anal tattooing and it’s risk of infection, now is a great time to post this female “taint” microdermal.

I make jokes of things that upset me, that is how I deal with things and I know I am not alone in doing so. So when I saw uptown’s “Daddy, No!” tattoo, I shot her a message on IAM. I wanted to know if this was indeed her way of dealing with some horrific childhood experience, or if she just had a crude sense of humor.

She responded assuring me that there was “no deep rooted family stuff”. Apparently, she calls her boyfriend, Troy, “Daddy” and this was “just an amusing  idea” to her.

I think it’s quite amusing myself, although it may be a bit discouraging for Troy when he’s trying to get some oral. What do you guys think?

Go ahead, impress me. First one to leave a comment saying the correct artist and album that this design is from wins…..nothing. You will get to be a modblog star for a day though, and that my friends is priceless.

One of the rad things about being a modblog author is discovering new artist. I am shocked to find an artist of this caliber who resides in my home state who I have never even heard of. This piece was done by Gabriel Cece at Rocksteady Tattoo in Hampton, VA. This piece is cool and represents an album from one of my favorite bands, but the work on his site is even more impressive. Take a minute to check out his site if you like color blends and soft or non-existant outlines.

I’m going to be busy working on the BETA for BME’s new site to post to Modblog so hopefully the new Modblog contributors can keep up with my previous pace while I’m gone. The Year End Awards will go up on the first so don’t worry about that.

Beaker sent me a link to this video (which unfortunately doesn’t have an embed option) about the Biami tribe that had never had contact with the outside world. They’ve got all sorts of modifications but no cupcakes like our friend Adrian below! I’ve also been playing with FormSpring.me/BME so feel free to ask whatever questions you have and I’ll answer them as I can in between breaks working on the BETA.

I went back to the very last page in the Other Suspensions gallery and I found a set of pictures that I took and submitted myself. I was going to wait and use these as a much later From The Vault entry, however, the recent discussions on modblog about BME’s role as media vs. our “endorsement” of certain things by posting them made this post seem perfectly timed for right now. Plus three years ago to the day, this suspension was mentioned in this post , but I feel these pics and this story are damn worthy of a post all their own!

For one day I stepped out of my usual role as a body piercer and suspension group member and played the role of journalist, taking on the job of documenting (not endorsing) this very unique suspension.
