BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Now witness the firepower of this fully scarred and branded battle station

Written by

Rob

He’s done it again folks.  Brian has managed to blend scarification and branding together to create a brilliant replication of the Death Star from Return of the Jedi.  On top of that he’s added a Darth Vader scar to go along side it.  According to Brian this is just the beginning of an entire Scar Wars sleeve, in which the wearer will eventually incorporate tattooing to compliment the scars.

Brian is also going to be appearing at the Philly Tattoo convention next year and has some open spots available if you’re looking to get some scar work done.

Make sure you go and check out Brian’s BME gallery to see more scars by him.

    that’s definitely a unique concept for scarification. I hope it heals as nicely as it looks now.

    Also, OUCH! So many little cuts!

    I really think tattooing will compliment this piece nicely if it scars well.
