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.

  • Happy Thankgiving!

    Hey Modblog, you’ve got the day off! I’m thought I’d be able to post from the in-laws house but they’re still living in the land of dial up and I don’t have a modem so I can’t post today so I’m leaving you until Friday with briannamci and her friend. You can play “find the tattoo” while you wait for me to get my turkey on (or whatever it is a bunch of vegetarians and kosher keepin’ Jews eat on Thanksgiving!). Phil and I scoured looking for some turkeylicious tattoos but sadly we fell short. We’ll try for something festive for the next set of holidays!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Nishimura is another darling beauty that I’m lucky enough to post here on Modblog. She’s from Vancover, BC and thinks she’ll have to get her fingers touched up for the third time. As someone who has finger tattoos, I know that’s a big ouch!

    BMEtv – Mike Rubendall

    Written by

    Rachel

    Mike Rubendall is based out of Massapequa, New York but you’ll often find him anywhere around the world at various tattoo conventions with Henning Jorgenson (BMEtv Episode 3!). If you walk into a shop around the world, you’ll no doubt see flash on the walls drawn by Mike. Norm and I even saw tons of his flash in the walls of a shop we stopped in at on Maui, Hawai’i. Check out the video to learn a little bit more about Mike.

  • An American Boy from Russia

    Written by

    Rachel

    He didn’t leave an IAM name but he did say he’s from St. Petersburg. Russia. He was out with a friend who wanted to take photos of him. His implants are by Arseniy Andersson from Saint-Scalpelburg in St. Petersburg. If you look closely, I think his arm is greylined and he’s begun work on sleeves. It’s pretty amazing to see such a blank canvas with implants. At first I was about to reject this submission as not having mod content because his skin is so fair.

  • High Wire

    Rachel

    Constant Elevation just played a pretty damn good trick on my eyes. I was like, “OMG! Norm come check this out!” and then he pointed out that he’s just holding a bike with no front tire, not riding a unicycle on a tight wire. Either way, I’m going to keep telling myself it’s a high wire act!

  • Chance of Meatballs?

    Rachel

    I don’t know if you’ve seen “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”, I haven’t, but I have seen the new Best Buy commercial featuring Justin Timberlake and the characters in the movie. When I first saw this photo I laughed out loud. Swoon did an impressive and funny job. Though I’m not sure what else there is to do in St. Johns, Newfoundland in the middle of winter. These cute cheek piercings are by Craig Cutler of Trouble Bound.
