Well, after yesterday’s camera fiasco, Naked Lens stepped up to help out and provided the photos for today’s recap.  So a big thank you goes out to him.

Today was the big day.  Everyone who is attending this year makes an appearance on the Saturday.  Even before the official opening of the event, suspensions were taking place.  The first suspension of the day goes to Samar and her “Shrimp” suspension, put together by Christiana, Havve, and Alan from Wings of Desire.

I believe Havve is responsible for naming this modified inverse resurrection.

And with that the day had begun.  The first order of business was to welcome all 180+ attendees to Dallas.  The day started out on a somber tone as we took the time to remember Adam.  Mike from Hooked then approached the microphone to talk about the other member of the community that was unable to attend this year, Arwen (Spliff).  Mike read a letter from Jill, and turned the stage back to Allen who led the crowd in the Disgraceland chant which must have been heard all the way in NYC, as it shook the walls here in Dallas.

I’m going to take a quick break here just to save some space on the main page.  To read the rest, you know what to do.

I’m spending the weekend in Dallas for this year’s annual SusCon.  For those that don’t know, SusCon is an annual event hosted by Suspension.org’s Allen Falkner.  The point of the weekend is for suspension crews from all over to come together to learn from each other, and of course have a good time.  This weekend is very much a learning weekend as crews bring not only their most experienced members, but also new members who are learning the ropes.

This ended up being a bit wordy, so I’ll save some space on the main page by bumping it behind a click though. So just click the read more button to see the rest.

This week’s news is coming to you from a hotel in Dallas, TX.  This weekend is the annual Dallas Suscon, and I’m here for those of you who weren’t able to make it this year.  Over the weekend I’ll be posting up photos and stories from Suscon, as well as getting some interviews for later in the week.  But enough about that, lets get to the news.

Today’s lead story is about a tattoo that the owner should have thought twice about getting.

When Los Angeles County Sheriff’s homicide investigator Kevin Lloyd was routinely looking through snapshots of tattooed gang members, he saw something that caught his eye - a crime scene he was familiar with.  Anthony Garcia, a member of the Rivera-13 gang, had a tattoo that resembled the scene of the liquor store killing of 23-year-old John Juarez in Pico Rivera on Jan. 23, 2004, reports the Los Angeles Times.

There were numerous details the murder inked on the gang member. The paper reports that the tattoo included the Christmas lights that lined the roof of the liquor store where Juarez was shot and killed, the direction his body fell, the bowed street lamp across the way and the street sign. Above everything read the title, “RIVERA KILLS”, a reference to the gang. A helicopter was also placed above the scene raining down bullets,  a nod to Garcia’s alias “Chopper.”

I suppose it’s good to be proud of your accomplishments.  Although tattooing a crime scene on your chest probably isn’t the best idea if there’s a chance you’ll ever have your photo taken by the police.

There’s still more news to come, so keep on reading.

It’s time again for another interview from the BME World Tour.  Today’s interview is with Nixx, a tattoo artist from 383 Tattoo located in the Gold Coast in Australia.

Nixx started out his modification career as a piercer and he talks about how he was able to transition from one career to the other, and how piercing has been able to help him now as a tattoo artist.

To check out the video, keep on reading!

You can’t go wrong with a couple of modified hotties steaming up your computer screen on a Friday.

The young lady on the right is Peanog, and the gent on the left is the lucky guy she calls “Him”.

These lovebirds have a few photos up in the tattoo galleries if you want to get a better look at them.

This week’s follow-up is a little fishy.  Ok, maybe it’s a big fishy.

This big bass scar by Efix was featured back in January.  It’s been a few months now, and the healing is coming along well.  So let’s take a look at how it appears today.

BME Hard contributor Erebli has been around for a while.  Hard members will remember his BBQ’d penis, his pancake recipe, and his recent experimentation with superglue.

This time around, he’s going big with a saline injection.

Well, you’ll have to keep on bouncing to see just how big he gets.

Here’s the thing.  Every time I tried to think up a headline for this post, my mind got bogged down in dirty jokes.  So I just decided to focus on what’s important.  And that is the adorable mouse tattoo.  Now, there’s nothing mod-related under the black square, so you’re pretty much seeing the point of the post without missing anything important.  But for those curious, you can click on the mouse to see the uncensored version, and start thinking of some of the headlines I was tempted to use.

And if you don’t want to click it now, you can see it any time in the female genital tattooing gallery.

I’ve got 4 words for you.  “Joey. Pang. Tattoo. Temple.”  On their own, they’re simply words, but when you put them together, you get brilliance.

She’s been making a splash in Hong Kong for some time now, consistently putting out beautiful pieces of art.  Simply do a search on ModBlog for “Tattoo Temple” and you’ll see what I mean.

Did you know BME is hiring?
