Dark Freak is certainly looking the part for his IAM name. Thiago Marzano snapped this shot of him in Brasil and it definitely doesn’t change my opinion that all of the BME Brasilian members are either heavily modded, good looking or both. 2010 is going to be a busy year because I already have plans to go to Japan, Italy and most certainly I’ll be heading to Brasil. I’m hoping we can put together a big Brasilian BME BBQ because that would be tons of fun. I can only imagine what beautiful tropical setting we can fill with BME’ers!

joao_caldara sent in these photos of his adorable son, ThÈo. They’re in Petropolis,  Brasil which google tells me today does exist, it’s not just some evil villians hide away in some obscure comic. This is what I plan to do all weekend since I’ll be hanging out with my own little princess all week.

I’ve got to go back to laying on the floor playing with animals that eat people who eat fairies and continue to be the faerie protector and get all the snuggles I can. Catch up with you on Monday. If Monday’s posts are a little delayed, sorry about that, I’m just preoccupied. I also tend to try and update on East Coast time but I’ll figure it out on Monday.

In the vein of posting people who look happy, I’d love to know what this gentleman is smirking about.

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.

One of the names that popped up in the interview requests was Norm so it was great timing that his Vimby video just surfaced. I figured I’d post it, like I do with all of Vimby’s Tattooer Videos over here on Modblog to tied you over until BME can do it’s own interview with him. Norm’s script work has to be some of my favorite lettering out there. He’s developed a very beautiful style which gives a whole new meaning to black and grey lettering. He tattooed the palm of my hand a month ago which I’ve included after the jump.

You can check out more on his myspace or at Spotlight Tattoo in person here in Hollywood, California.

Jordan posted these photos of the Enigma’s facial cuttings back in May but the man himself has sent in a new set from a different perspective. His cuttings are by Jawn D at Laughing Buddha with some help from Serana.

Couple more after the jump.

Joey Armstrong can be found at Seventh Son up in San Franscisco along with some other seriously sick tattoo artists. He’s number five in our little mini series. Hope you like it!

Since a lot of people have asked, I’m planning on including artists from all over the world through out our community. This isn’t going to be a tattoo artists only series, I just haven’t gotten to piercers and other body modification artists. BME covers everything inside of the modification world, I just happen to have started with the tattooers around me. I’ve been compiling a list of people to interview from the comments and suggestions that people have sent me. Thank you for all of your feed back and don’t forget to check out the other episodes we’ve done.

Sasha from Funhouse Tattoo of Vancouver, BC just finished up blowfaraway’s back piece. That has to be an exciting feeling to bring such a large project to fruition.

Jesse-Lynn sent in some of her latest work. It happens to be well suited for BME and Modblog, what with being a peaCOCK of course. It’s late, or early depending on how you look at it but I thought it was amusing to see the recent influx of peacock tattoos. They’re a beautiful bird. I’ve seen some really shitty interpretations of this bird but luckily this isn’t one of them. If you want to catch up with Jesse-Lynn, you can find her at Oceans of Ink in Sussex, NB or through her IAM page.
