Loran Shumway, piercer and body modification artist at Eclectic Body Art in Olean, NY got a tattoo of one of the many variations on the classic Dr. BME logo on his nape, done this past Monday by Robbie Mills of Something Beautiful in Jamestown, NY. I asked him why this particular version and he explained that he bumped into this one while searching for the original artwork*. Since as a practitioner he enjoys doing lots of implants, “I figured the one with more implants was a better fit for me!” After the picture of his new tattoo is a recent implant he performed, a silicone infinity symbol (from Steve Haworth’s collection), both fresh and a week into the healing.
* Note to other searchers, you can find most of the basic logos by looking up “BME Logo” in the BME wiki, although there are many variations missing… The page is desperately out of date.

Seeing this post prompted me to scroll through BMEwiki a bit, for old time’s sake.
Have you been to cobm.ca lately? I noticed a few changes …
I wonder if the new site owners know what their url used to be.
Too bad Loran’s a hack, but the tattoo looks pretty good!
SSSasky – Haha. At least http://www.uscobm.com/ is still going strong and has some wonderful people involved.
