I love the symmetry and simplicity of this picture, it really showcased her (mostly self done) piercings well.

These paired nostril piercings on Skittles5000 were self pierced at an 18 gauge and self stretched up to the 2 gauge you see here, the septum was self pierced at a 14 gauge and then stretched to a 0gauge.

…but this one doesn’t even require a click through!

Sorry for the delay! I was without intranet at home due to the DC area snow storm, so I am just now posting last weeks BME Girls Calendar entry. Voting will go from now until next Monday, so it will slightly overlap with the next entries voting but I want to make sure these three lovely ladies get a full week of voting as well.

For those of you interested in seeing this batch of girls who submitted their pictures for  possible use in the upcoming BME Girls Calendar, keep on reading. If this isn’t your thing, come back later for other types of modblog post.

This custom BME skateboard picture comes from the BME Art Gallery, a cool collection of IAM member submitted art. According to the info with the picture the board was made by  Miguel Leblanc, [ART & DESIGN] White Nuts. , Québec Canada.

If anyone knows if the artist or the guy in the picture (who may very well be the same person) are on IAM, leave me a comment here and I will link to them. For a picture of the board in all of it’s uncovered glory, keep on keeping on.

Brian Decker is no stranger to Modblog, in fact, rarely a week goes by that his name doesn’t get credited in a post. When I search the updates to various galleries looking  for photos worthy of featuring here, I try and maintain some sort of variety both in content and with the artist responsible for the work. However, Brian just keeps knocking out amazing piece after amazing piece and who am I to deny featuring them just  for the sake of variety?

Anyhow, when it comes to 3d art implants, not only is Brian awesome at the technical procedure he is also awesome  as an artistic silicone carver. He really understands what amount of detail will show through in the healed product and has the carving skills to make it all work. This picture of Nae’s 10 month old flower implant he did is a great showcase of those skills.

Well thanks to the DC area snowstorm, we got somewhere around 32″ of snow, which is enough to stop everything in my region of the country.  So if you guys were wondering why there was only one Modblog update Friday, or why there was no BME Girls Calendar entry, the fact the snowstorm killed my  intranet at home is why.

I am back at work today, using the internet here, but most likely I will be snowed in (and possibly with out internet)  tomorrow and the next few days, as we are expecting another foot or so of snow to pile on.

Anyhow, I searched BME high and low for a submission that could possibly sum up how I feel about the snow and the impact it has had on my life recently.  I think I found it, this tattoo may not be amazing, and normally I would probably overlook it for posting to Modblog, but today it just speaks to me.

Another snowman tattoo that speaks to me was already posted, but in case you missed it, or weren’t a reader in 2007, check it out!

Don’t fret Modbloggers, I will be back with a few more post today, including the BME Girls Calendar entry. Hopefully, even if I am stuck at home, my intranet should be working and I can continue posting. If not, I will see you  guys when it warms up, maybe around April?

After yesterdays post of a BME Girl on British tv, I come across this picture from MIss Duveaux from a 6 page spread that was shot for FHM (For Him Magazine) Holland. It’s great to see a beautiful modified girl getting some love from mainstream media and not getting teased like KissItGoodbye was in my last post.

Miss Deveaux had this to say about the experience on her IAM diary entry about it:

Not only was I featured in a six page spread with For Him Magazine, FHM, but they decided to not re-touch my tattoos… The dude is a famous dutch tv-host *Sebastiaan Labrie*  Not only hot, but with tattoos and he was very open minded and interested in all my body mods… he liked my branding real much!

For more pictures from this shoot check out her IAM page, the BME/ Culture/ People gallery, or look for them in FHM Holland.

For one more showing off her chest tattoos, keep on keeping on.

I have no idea what this show is about, but it comes from the same country that finds Mr. Bean funny, so how can I expect to understand?

Anyhow blackroses sent me a message on IAM that said:

We have a show in england called snog marry avoid, tonight is the start of series 3 and i was surprised and delighted to find a fork tongued teacher!

She was kind enough to include a link to it on YouTube so I could share it with you guys.

UPDATE: My favorite nomad, Howie, shot me a message saying he was the artist who did the implants and tongue split and that the girl is kissitgoodbye.

Check out this interesting facial scarification piece on ManiacAluf. It looks like a fairly deep removal, so I imagine it should make for an impressive scar down the road. The scars were done by Roland visavajara freiburg who made this in Zürich (InkTank).

Here is your chance to help someone else do some good. We received the following note from IAM member, Taryn:

I’ve entered myself into a contest to win a volunteering trip to Africa. I really, really love Africa and was able to travel there in February of 2009 where I spent four weeks in Tanzania as a volunteer teacher. I loved every moment of it and I’m dying to go back, but I simply can’t afford it. I was pretty excited when a friend told me about this contest so I entered right away. I entered around January 28th and voting had already started on January 3rd, but with some dedicated and extremely helpful friends I made it into the top 10 within two days! I have to stay in the Top 10 until February 7th at midnight in order to make it to the semifinals - at which point votes are re-set, and everyone must vote again like mad to get me into the Top 3. Then, a panel of judges decide who wins the trip. Voting is limited to one vote per email address; enter your address and then click the confirmation link in the email they send you. To vote for me, one may visit: votetaryn. I’ve also created a Facebook page that people may join to help spread the word, I post updates there as well and will send a reminder when (if) I make it into the Top 10 and votes have been reset for the semi-finals!

Let’s help Taryn win this so that she can help others. After all, it’s nice to be nice.
