A Bountiful Crop

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


Hot on the heels of this frame-worthy post from the good folks with Berlin, Germany’s Superfly Suspension, we’re quite pleased to publish yet another particularly striking shot from the crew. Sadly, we don’t have any other pictures to determine what the two hooks in this gentleman’s back are attached to, but if we were to hazard a guess, hmm, mistletoe? We’re going to say mistletoe.

BME Shop is having a huge sale — everything in the store (except anesthetics) is 25% off! Go stock up at shop.BMEzine.com before this deal ends!



You Prefer a Gentleman

By Jordan Ginsberg • Sep 9th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


Well hey, here we have the only half-evil (if that) Mr_Hyde, checking in from old Italia, showing off, among other things, that handsome cutting on his stomach by Lewis from Trimur Tattoo, in photos by Jacopo Lorenzini. This photo? We’ve got a click-through. After the jump, one photo does and one doesn’t. Guess which is which! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Nature’s Onions

And finally, gentle ModBloggers, we conclude our broadcast day with the lovely Danae, whose presence on these here internets we always enjoy. Does it get much better than a pretty lady sporting some fine tattoo work, clean and subtle piercings and some fancy leather pants? No. No it does not. Well, OK, maybe if she bought the leather pants from a traveling salesman in the Ozarks. There is, happily, another shot after the jump. Until tomorrow.

It Was Blue and Gold

By Jordan Ginsberg • Sep 8th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


And here, courtesy of the fine folks involved with Berlin, Germany’s Superfly Suspension crew, we have a suspension so nice you just want to hang it on your wall—which, um, was kind of the idea, apparently. This may have been done before (likely by the Superfly team themselves?), but we applaud a clever and well-executed take on suspension like this—one that’s a little more performance art than straight spectacle (not that there’s anything wrong with either, of course).



Nor Steel Nor Poison

Welcome back, ModBloggers! Hope you enjoyed your Labor Day long weekend, considering you are almost surely back at school or work or the acid mines or whatever it is you will be doing every day, forever, until Thanksgiving. Anyway, let’s kick off the next few months of daily drudgery with this adorable tattoo of, hmm, risky sex, we guess? This is what happens when Elvira and Dennis the Menace take a weekend getaway and the only movie on HBO at 3 a.m. is Auto Focus.

It’s Tuesday, dear readers. Back to school.

This Week in BME

By Jordan Ginsberg • Sep 4th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


And finally, you lovely people, let’s wrap up our week with this bathing suit-area pull, facilitated by Steve and Tracie. If there’s a better metaphor for the end of summer, we have not been made privy to it.

So goes the week that was. What might you have missed?

- Aw, young love, starring John and Preston.

- Aw, lovely floral sleeves, starring various flowers.

- Mawwiage! This is a very positive week thus far.

- And it’s Natalee (a.k.a. the future Mrs. John Joyce)! Seriously, what’s with all this love and happiness? Can we get a zombie uprising or meteor strike or something?

- Oak is just chock full of implants now, courtesy of Steve Haworth.

- Oh God we are freaking out.

And that is that! We may not be around a ton this weekend on account of ye olde long weekend, but we’ll be back next week, refreshed and raring to go (maybe). Until then, compatriots, have fun, stay safe, celebrate labor (that’s what Labor Day is for, yes?) and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.



Gushed And Damned

By Jordan Ginsberg • Sep 4th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


And here we have the lovely Cale, sporting these 20-point self-done play piercing corsets, which are not only awfully pretty, but also a sensible sartorial option before breaking out your autumnal pantaloons. This sort of thing interest you? You can find our model piercing (and apprenticing as a tattoo artist) at Anchors Away Tattoo in Denver, Colorado. If you visit her, tell her Jordan sent you. It won’t get you any special treatment—I just think it’d be funny.

The Deep Springs of Life

By Jordan Ginsberg • Sep 3rd, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


And here we have the lovely Karina in Venezuela, sporting striking redface and pulling against some sort of mythical giant, by the looks of things. (Or maybe a high wall, killjoys.) This isn’t groundbreaking news or anything, but nonetheless, it really is quite something the sort of calm and serenity that can come out of activities that should ostensibly cause pain and irritation, and this, if nothing else, is further documentation of the phenomenon that we are proud to publish.

That Beautiful Bump

By Jordan Ginsberg • Sep 3rd, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


And here we have Philadelphia’s own Shan, there in the foreground, sporting nightmarish 2 3/4-inch bling tunnels with some poor woman’s head trapped inside for all eternity, we assume. She’s crying for help in a futile effort to free herself, but no, this will be the extent of her fishbowl existence. This is pretty much the worst mushroom trip we’ve ever had, basically.

An Unnnoticed Breeze

By Jordan Ginsberg • Sep 3rd, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


Greetings, friends! The inimitable Steve Haworth checks in with this photo of his old friend Oak, the co-owner (along with his wife, Bleu) of Painted Temple in Provo, Utah (which Steve calls “one of the more amazing tattoo shops [he's] been in, both in artists and beauty”), sporting brand new rows of spines in his forearm, courtesy of Steve. The horns, though? All natural, shockingly.
