You can never grow old and you can never die, but you must feed!

By Jen • Jun 11th, 2010 • Category: ModBlog

Before vampires sparkled, they were cool. They wore leather and rode motorcycles and lived in a place called Santa Carla! To the wearer of this tattoo, I salute you! This was my favourite movie when I was a kid and remains so to this day. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Max.

The simple things

HoodOrnament, originally got this punched out at 8 gauge and has managed to stretch it out to a 0 gauge.

As most of you know stretching cartilage can be quite the challenge, and tragus piercing’s often prove even more problematic to stretch than other cartilage piercings. So when I see large gauge tragus, I am truly impressed.

Happy Birthday Patrick

By Sean Philips • Jun 10th, 2010 • Category: ModBlog

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?

By Sean Philips • Jun 9th, 2010 • Category: ModBlog

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!

By Sean Philips • Jun 9th, 2010 • Category: ModBlog

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

By Sean Philips • Jun 8th, 2010 • Category: ModBlog

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!

Love can be very subtle

By Sean Philips • Jun 8th, 2010 • Category: ModBlog

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!


I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker

By Jen • Jun 8th, 2010 • Category: ModBlog

I’m just going to go ahead and say my immediate reaction to this tattoo was “Wow.”  The hands are really something and I’m a really big fan of this piece and the others that the artist, Alexandru Petcu, uploaded to BME.  He works out of Spunk Tattoo and you’ll have to get yourself to Bucharest if you want to get some work done by him.  Judging by this photo and the others he uploaded to BME, I’d say it would be worth the trip.

Mirror mirror in my hand….

By Sean Philips • Jun 7th, 2010 • Category: ModBlog

Faeryloverette sent us these pictures. We often see people’s genital piercings on here, but how often do we see them from the same view as the wearer?
