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.

    As promised!

    “Hey ya’all, ready for another visit with Sailor Sid? This time he’s tattooing at Ken Meyer’s place in Kissimmee, Florida.

    This video was taken from 8mm film then converted to VHS and didn’t originally have an audio track. As with previous videos this is very much a product of it’s time – aseptic procedure isn’t followed, nor is the wearing of clothes. Sid and Ken specialized in homoerotic tattooing, and wearing awesome hats! Thanks for watching and expect an update with Cliff Raven soon..

    Cheers,

    Shawn Porter – Scarwars.net”

    Ok, not really because to win at this post I had to fail at identifying this one, but I can say with 100% certainty that this is a facial tattoo, and a six gauge nostril piercing by Carrie of Sacred Art, Cortland, NY.

    I’m sure the following photos are going to rile people up a bit* (I’m assuming the bear died of natural causes), but here we go with some photos by Lane of his friend and Dragon FX colleague, Bobby..

    I must admit when I first saw this these amazing tattoo(s) late last night I went through a few emotions..

    It started off with lurve, the second was a combination of confusion and feeling dumb because I felt like I was missing out on something obvious, and lastly reluctant acceptance that it they probably wasn’t weren’t a fusion between human anatomy and a creature from the deep*.
