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.

  • Here’s your new tumblr meme

    I’m not even going to look, but I’m sure there’s a tumblr for cute bearded dudes with tattoos and cats somewhere out there.  And if there isn’t, there should be.  It’d be much better than any Ryan Gosling one.

    The two in the photo are Joao_Caldara and his friend Gaia.

    Classical work of art transformed into a scar?  You know it has to be a Brian Decker piece.

    Today is about BMEWomen.  Specifically VEAL.  A woman Shannon once called “The kinkiest housewife I know”.

    Oh, there’s another photo, but you’ll have to read ahead to see it.

    Be sure to check out the BMEGirls gallery to see more of this beautiful modified woman.

  • Icarus Falling

    Tattoo artist Sean Ambrose describes this tattoo as “Flying man on fire“, but I can’t help but think of Icarus when I see any image of a man in the sky with his arms aflame.

    Sean works at Arrows and Embers Custom Tattooing in Concord, NH.

  • There Be Dragons

    It’s hard to see in the before photo, but this is actually a cover-up of a cover-up.  That’s right, this is the third dragon to live on that shoulder, and hopefully it’ll be the last one.  Jackie Rabbit took 6 hours over 2 sessions to create this monster.  I think what stands out the most for me is how she managed to get the light colours to stand out while covering up some darker ones.

    The Dallas Suscon happened last weekend, and hopefully we’ll start to get some pictures in soon.  (I’m looking at you Naked Lens).

    Until then, here’s something from the #Leeds Airlines crew.  This is Viktor’s first suspension ever, and he chose a 2 pt chest for the occasion.

    Here’s a pair of BMEGirls to help get you through the afternoon.  One is SFW, the other, not so much.

    First up is Caroline452, with photography by Elusive Dream Studio.

    For the next picture, you know what to do.

    And here we have a familiar face, although I don’t think we’ve ever been given her name.

    You’ve seen her work on ModBlog, now you get to see her.  Meet Jackie Rabbit, the creator of all those wonderful images you’ve seen here.

    Jackie works at Star City Tattoos in Roanoke, VA.  So if you’re ever in the area, now you know who to look for.

    I know it isn’t from the animated version of Watership Down, but Jackie Rabbit really managed to capture the spirit of those rabbits in this tattoo.

    I’m not going to claim this is the first time someone has done this piercing, but it is rare enough that neither Jen nor I have seen it before, and we’ve seen a lot.

    Sent in by Amiraye, this subnasal piercing differs from a septum piercing in that it goes directly through the tissue at the bottom of her nose.  Definitely not something you see every day.
