Hey Modbloggers, a member of the BME Family is ill and needs our help.

Ari Larratt is living with her mom, Rachel, in the US and has come down with some kind of illness that is making it hard for her body to digest food. As it stands right now, she’s going through a lot of tests to find out what is wrong, and the medical bills are already starting to pile up. Now because Ari is living in the US, everything is coming out of pocket from both Rachel and Shannon. The bills are already approaching $7000 and they still have yet to get a diagnosis.

So, to help raise funds for Ari, Shannon has designed a brand-new BME logo shirt. It’s going to be sold in the BMEShop for a limited time, with all proceeds going to Ari’s medical bills. The design itself is basically an updated take of Scott Fox’s original BME logo, mixed with the Calm logo, and incorporates modifications that weren’t around when the designs were originally created.

You can order the shirt right here. We’ve set the price of the shirt at $20, with the option to donate more if you wish. We’ll also be sending along a bunch of BME stickers in addition to your shirt, depending on how much you are able to give. But even if you aren’t able to give any extra, just getting one shirt will go to help a sick little girl get better.

Also, if anyone has any information on health insurance plans for children only, please get in contact with Rachel via the BMEShop e-mail address (shop@bme.com). Her insurance won’t cover Ari, so she’s looking for a plan that is just for children.

You knew it was bound to happen.  A Hunger Games inspired tattoo, incorporating both the mockingjay pin, and a primrose.

As you’ve probably guessed by the watermark, this one is by Jackie Rabbit.

This scar by Gábor Zagyvai must have been on someone who is a big fan of rally races.  This is more Rachel’s realm of expertise, but from what I gather the Dakar is a pretty intense car/bike rally that crosses continents, oftentimes passing through some of the most remote locales.

Did you know that last week was the 70th post titled “The Friday Follow-up”.  Now I know there’s been a couple of weeks that I missed it, and a few where the title was different, so I’d say we’re right around the 75 mark.  Which is a pretty big milestone when you consider that the only way this weekly feature has stayed strong is through the contributions of both scarification artists, and the people who love their scars.  So with the submit by e-mail function up and running again, start uploading those scarification photos, both fresh and healed, so we can keep thing going for another 75 weeks.

This week we’re looking at a scar by the artist who has probably been featured the most in the weekly follow-ups, Brian Decker.  This particular scar we first saw back in December, with IAM:Theycallmeanna the proud recipient.

And here’s how it looks today.

Everyone knows that plastic shopping bags are bad for the environment.  In fact a lot of areas are now adding a bag charge, to encourage people to bring reusable bags.  Well what happens if you find a great sale on a tasty beverage, and you forgot your bags at home?  Just use this handy BME-Approved method of bringing your groceries home.

Of course you’ll have to read on if you want to see the uncensored version.

This work in progress by Jackie Rabbit is eventually going to be an entire season themed piece.  At the time of the photos, the spring tree had been finished for a while, and the fall tree is still fresh.

Here’s a better look at the fall side.
