The ModBlog at BME is the best of the cream and the most bazaar of the odd. There is some graphic material so if you are creeped out by blood or open wounds, this isn't the best for you.

How to make an artist's brain pop...

Our apprentice, Brian, is very talented at photorendering. He does beautiful portrait work which is why Lina (boss lady) reccomended him for a job preparing a foux portrait tattoo for a commercial.

It was supposed to be a simple job. They email him a clear photo of the actor taking a bite of a burger king burger. Brian renders it as a graphite drawing and sends it back. They use whatever process they have to transfer it onto skin. Here's what happened:

-Four day deadline turns into two day dea… Continue

It's well into November and it still has not snowed. It's barely dropped to freezing levels even. This time last year, I was knee deep in slush. Most blame global warming. I blame life's mean sense of humor. I finally shelled out the cash for a nice winter jacket and boots and it turns out that I don't even need them. In that same thread, if I were still in running shoes and a hoodie, there would be a blizzard outside. So, yeah, anyone in the area enjoying our sunny holiday season: You're Welcom… Continue

Tatt Tips continued #6-10

6. Being spontanious is a fun quality, but being too impulsive in this area can cause stress for everyone. If you've worked up the courage to get a tattoo but have to get it right that day before you lose your nerve, there is a possibility of being let down. The artist you want may be booked up for that day or they may need extra time to complete the drawing for you. If you can be taken that day but haven't really considered a specific design, it's possible that you'll become overwhelmed and fru… Continue

10 Tattoo tips for people not in the know.

1. Tattoos and tropical vacations don't mix. give your fresh tattoo and your visit to mexico a month long buffer. Sun and soaking will dull the ink and sand does an open wound no good. Do you really want to spend your hard earned vacation hiding in the shade and watching everyone else enjoy the beach?

2. Not all skin is created equal. A tattoo on your arm will not heal exactly the same as a tattoo on your hip. If you painted your entire body and went through an average day, certain areas would… Continue

Every so often we manage to pull our heads out of our own asses and have a clear view of our situation. I was hanging outside the shop, talking to my buddy Ron. Ron is the sound tech at Lee's Palace: the music venue directly next door to our tattoo parlour. I was complaining about having a client be an hour late for her appointment for a crappy symbol the size of a bottlecap. He was complaining about the talent being unorganized and not to his musical tastes. It's a conversation we have often.… Continue

Yet another damn tattoo question(s);

How many tattoos do you have?
What are they?
Ever give yourself a tattoo or know of someone who did so?

Did you give him a tattoo in the end?

Another tattoo question;

What's the most vague description a customer gave to you about a desired tattoo?

it whent just fine. me and the girl had a talk and she saud she was afraid of the rumor becouse she would seem like a slut since she already had sex with one and made out with another the past month. i overreacted by telling her i was insulted that she didn´t believe me, pulled some pages of text, since she informed me from the other side of the country(she is on vacation). and i got the feeling that i made a fool out of myself for making it such big deal out of it, but it came as a shock to me, but whatever, its over now, and i can rest in peace.

Hey Lily,

Just came by to get some advice on tattoos. I have been thinking on getting a tattoo of one of my favorite books, The Bicenntenial Man.



I was thinking of getting just the robot in that pose tattooed on my forearm. But, since I am a noob, I would like an opinion from an expert.

*So, do people get stuff like this often? (I don't want to get a tattoo to find out that I am the 9000th person to get an issac asimov tattoo)
*Is the forearm a good place for tattoos?
*Does the tattoo seem a little too complex?

If you were serious about wanting that shirt design. Just print the picture out on iron-on paper. Let me know if you do, I'd love to see it.

Evening, Lil. I don't mean to impose or anything of that sort.
However, I wasn't sure if you had seen my latest response
to yours in the topic about the forthcoming Three Stooges
film, but here it is, in case you're still interested.

Hey Lilly-Bop, I happened upon this site and it reminded me of your blog.

About a quarter of the way down there's a black guy's head added to a crowd of football fans.
I had a good laugh at it.
