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.
  • A pointed profile

    With his vast assortment of modifications, the Mechanical Demon has transformed from a human into something much more.  While I don’t have the list of artists who have worked on him, I do know that Arseniy Andersson is responsible for the ear pointing/reshaping.

  • Free Gear Update!

    The free sticker giveaway is over, but don’t let that stop you from filling in your information and checking the “Free Gear” box on your BME account information page.  This was just the first in what will soon be regular giveaways, including things like t-shirts!

    One thing to note:  If you did manage to get your posts in before the deadline, make sure that the name you have registered is your real name.  Nobody can see this information, however when we go to print out the mailing labels, sending a package to cumguzzler666, 123 Blank Street, Averagetown, NY is a little tricky.  Your privacy has always been our number 1 concern, and as I mentioned before, the only time we ever access it is to print off a mailing label if you win something.  That’s it.  You won’t be getting junk flyers, and we will never sell your information to anybody.

    If you don’t have a BME account, what are you waiting for?  It’s free to sign up, and that instantly gives you more access to the image galleries, and you can win free stuff!  Sign up today!

  • May the Fourth be with you

    On this blessed of days, we gather to remember all those lost souls, both rebel and imperial, who gave their lives to free the galaxy from the tyranny of the emperor.

  • R.I.P. MCA

    In case you didn’t know yet, MCA passed away today at the age of 47.  The Beastie Boy had been fighting cancer for a few years now, but it’s still a shock to know he’s gone.  Whether you’re a fan or not, there’s no denying the world lost a very talented man today, someone who spent their career encouraging people to live their life the way they wanted, and to have fun doing it.

  • The Friday Follow-up

    I love waking up to find John Joyce images in the galleries.  Especially when it’s of healed scars.  Here’s how the scar looked fresh when I posted it last November.

    And here’s how it looks today.

  • Guess What?

    I can pretty much say with confidence that very few people will guess this correctly.  So much so that I’ll even give you a hint:  It’s not what you think it is.

    Read on to see just how wrong you were.

    Skin tag piercings are pretty rare.  Anal piercings are also pretty rare.  The fact that this is an anal skin tag piercing, well, there’s no way you could have guessed this one.

    Big thanks to Joeltron for not only sending this is, but also cropping the photo for me.

  • Deep black sea

    It’s a jellyfish.  A badass jellyfish scarification on top of some heavy blackwork.  I could be wrong but I think Brian only cut this one, as opposed to the cutting/hyfrecator combination he sometimes uses.

  • Free Gear from BME!!

    Yep.  You read that right, we’re giving away free stuff!  Some of you may have noticed a “FREE GEAR” checkbox on your BME profile page.  Well, we’re going to be starting up the monthly shirt giveaways again, so to kick things off we’re giving away all of our old stickers.  We just got new a new shipment of stickers in that have the updated BME.com address, so the ones you’ll be getting will be the last batch ever to have the BMEzine.com address.

    So here is how it is going to work. Anyone who posts on the comment section for this post, will get stickers in their mailbox. The only thing is you need to have is the “Enter to win FREE GEAR” check box selected on your account, your t-shirt size and your shipping address.

    If you don’t have it set already, go to https://www.bme.com/accounts/profile/, check the FREE GEAR box, select your t-shirt size and make sure that you’ve either entered in an address or that your address on file is up to date. This is all under the “Personal Information” page which that link will take you to, it’s all at the top of the page.  (If you don’t have an account, then sign up today!  Opening a BME account is free!)

    Then come back and post in this comment section with “I want stickers!”. Nothing else! Do not include your address in the comment forum!.

    Once we’ve got posts in the comment section, we’ll start sending out stickers. We’ll verify that you’ve got the “Enter to win FREE GEAR” check box selected, your t-shirt size selected and then Rachel will grab your address from the account admin (All she can see is if you’ve got the FREE GEAR box checked or not, your address, shirt size, membership status, types and expiration dates and submissions linked to your account) and you’ll receive an envelope with free stickers. Don’t worry, BME always ships things in plain white envelopes with a discrete return mailing address. We also take great pride in protecting BME members personal information and would never distribute, reveal or sell your personal information, unlike some sites!

    We’ll start shipping out stickers on Friday so as long as you get your post (and settings configured), in before midnight EST on Friday, you will receive some stickers! Hurry up and update those accounts and post in the forum!

    Edit:  Please make sure that if you don’t have an IAM page, that you’re using the email address associated with your BME account when you post on modblog otherwise we won’t be able to find your shipping address!


  • A sprinkle of colour

    So to wrap up today’s dotwork heavy series of posts is one final piece from Sonja.  This one is a little different than the past two as it not only incorporates geometry, but also works in a swastika.
