Thank your lucky stars

By Rachel • Dec 3rd, 2009 • Category: ModBlog

I’m sitting on a pile of tattoo photos that I wanted to post and I figured instead of spreading them out over a couple days, I’d do a nice big fat tattoo post. Hope you guys like it.

The first piece is by Matt Geiogamah of Club Tattoo in Tempe, AZ.

Red in the Face

“Hey, jackass,” Angela writes in, “thanks for posting my Ed Perdomo backpiece a little while ago, but you didn’t even include all the sweet detail shots! Plus, he’s at a different studio now. Try not to screw it up this time, jerk.” (I’m paraphrasing here.) Anyway! We’ll use any excuse we can to get a better look at this beautiful project by the aforementioned Ed Perdomo, who can now be found at Amigo Ink in Trollhattan, Sweden. Go to him. After the jump, more detail shots of this general awesomeness.

Hidden In My Veins

Well well well, and here we have Christophe sporting a bright and terrifying back-piece melding bio-mech components with outer space and evil planet-sized Venus fly traps, tattooed in six sessions by the excellent Dimitri from Dimitri Tattoo in Saint Germain-en-laye, France. This, obviously, is your Friday Night Nightmare Fuel. Hooray!

The Fairest in Creation

And finally, gentle readers, let us conclude our broadcast day with this calming shot of Tribal Headhunter of Evora, Portugal, showing off one hell of a handsome backpiece by Guru while relaxing on a beach on the Island of Farol. Is there a click-through? Of course there’s a click-through.

Until tomorrow, folks.

The Needle’s Eye

By Jordan Ginsberg • Sep 2nd, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


Greetings, friends, on this glorious Wednesday. Let’s kick off our afternoon with this gorgeous Japanese-style back-piece by Ed Perdomo at Stardust Tattoo in Orebro, Sweden. There’s a lot going on here for such a small photo, though—this is just the sort of thing that begs for a larger post-jump picture. And we have one! Best day ever?

Unto Others

Ha ha, well if this isn’t some sweet retribution. We’re used to seeing Xed Le Head inflict unknown pain and suffering on various clients, but now the tables have turned! Here he is, getting a taste of his own medicine, courtesy of Pink (from Tattoo Pink in Hasselt, Belgium). Really though, this is just a whole lot of incredible tattoo work in one place, and judging by the stoic display, this is just further evidence that Xed is nothing if not the consummate bad-ass.

We’re Out For Blood

New Rule: I do not like Motley Crue. I do not think I have ever intentionally listened to one of their songs all the way through. I would like to see Tommy Lee slathered with delicious chestnut honey and chained to a tree in Death-Bear National Park. With that said? The Dirt is one of the most entertaining musical memoirs ever written, and if you commit to an entire goddamn (and surprisingly well-done) backpiece dedicated to these train-wrecks, well, you get featured on ModBlog, friend.

This Week in BME

By Jordan Ginsberg • Jul 10th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


If you’re wondering why this hulking back looks so familiar, it’s because it’s the reverse of this hunk from earlier in the week. Now, if you’re saying, “Hey, jerk, that’s much too small of a picture to truly enjoy the majesty of that fine work,” I couldn’t agree with you more—click on through for a full-size shot.

And just like the sands of time, another week etc., etc. What happened this time around?

- This handsome gent and his horrifying terror doll improved and destroyed the dreams of readers everywhere.

- We were able to make arguably the most excellent use of the “DongBlog” tag in recent memory.

- We caught a glimpse of the wonderful and intense projects that are Cookie’s implanted, tattooed and scarred arms.

- We suspect foul play regarding how handily these tic-tac-toe games were won.

- Kristina something something fall down convulse die happy the end.

- Nadyne made an awfully strong first impression on ModBlog with this great, intricate cutting by Timb Wilton.

- Oh, and BME Shop is full of awesome things.

And that’s that. You know what happens next: Everybody has a great weekend, we pop in here a few times, and then come Monday, the fun machine starts cranking out the hits yet again. Sound like a deal? Good. Until then, ModBloggers, enjoy yourselves, cheer on Frank Mir against the Minnesotan anger-bear Brock Lesnar and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME. We’ll see you soon.



I Can’t Believe in the View

Well boy howdy, I can’t think of a better way to wrap things up today than with this outstanding backpiece-project worn by Barcelona’s own Lewis Dodd. It’s been two years in the making (by Kabra at Elektrikstrom Tattoo in Valencia, Spain), but now? Now it’s finished, and it is glorious. I’ve said it before, but because it’s so commonplace, I think it’s pretty easy to take for granted how great pieces like this can be—you see some traditional Japanese imagery and figure it’s just some flash off the wall or what have you—but this is just a pleasure to take in. More shots of the full suit, after the jump.

Spear of Gold

By Jordan Ginsberg • Jun 30th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


Ahoy-hoy, ModBloggers! Here’s the latest offering from Marina Storme at Atomic Zombie, a glorious back-piece interpretation of a statue depicting The Ecstasy of St. Theresa, tattooed on none other than her own father. How great is that? Not to mention, I can’t think of a better way to fill the Marina-void while waiting for an update to this masterpiece.

It’s Tuesday, ModBlog—let’s melt all the ice in our heads.
