The crazy thing is that lip balm addiction is a pretty common claim that I’ve heard from its “addicts”. I suppose girliesabombshell is one of them… Tattoo by Frankie at Tattoo Marks in Souderton, PA.

Anyway… IAM is offline tonight for the copy, and there’s a chance that ModBlog will go down as well depending on load and upgrade issues. If you’re bored, please take some pictures of your latest mods (or whatever fun you’re having tonight) and send them to submissions@bmezine.com!

Jennica sends in this photo of Scotty’s first suspension (c/o High Priestess Piercing in Eugene, OR) with Georg and Dana. After the initiation you get a reward… What I like especially is the guy’s VENI VEDI VICI — emphasis on VICI.

These circle scars on andshewas by Lukas Zpira are 14 months old now.

I suppose this Mother Fakir needed just a little extra weight!

Having grown up on a farm, I really liked this Canadian farming tattoo, done by Brandon “Fox” Layng at Longhorn Custom Bodyart in Oshawa, Ontario.

Since people seem to have liked the biomech leg tattoo I posted recently, I thought I’d post an arm as well. This still in progress piece is by Steve Easley at Stylin’ Tattoo in Visalia, CA.

By John Vanderpool aka Fat Bastard of Fat Bastard Tattoo in Jackson, MI. And laugh all you want about hillbillies — they’re gonna survive the peak oil apocalypse without breaking a sweat, while the city folk murder each other over the last old supermarket canned food they can find.

The piercings are by Graeme at Lord of the Rings in Darlington, UK, and the tattoos are by Alison Manners at Ulimate Skin in Leeds, UK (click for a full size unblurred photo).
