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.

    Yowch, snug piercings — the only piercing named after a clothing line — hurt badly enough without any extra tricks… but I quite like this snug orbital placement that Jennn had done by JD at Evolution Tattoo in Santa Rosa.

  • NYPD Facial Tattoos?

    So I was telling Nick (the most visibly tattooed cop in NYC I suspect) that his facial tattoos are looking especially nice now that hair is growing over them and they’re looking like they’ve been there for a while, and he mentioned that TattooJoe (who has great facial tattoos himself) who did them posted a video on his YouTube page; click through to check it out if you’d like.

    I’ve featured Ferdudurke here before, but I don’t think people would know because the previous photo, taken in Kiev, is quite different. This one was taken in the Moscow Metro.

  • GSP isn’t the only Quebecois that’ll leave you bloody!

    A-E-E-Ch, photographer for TiTattoo, took this series of photos of Elaine Davidson (more, more, and more) along with Angelo Piovano in Torino, Italy. Two closeups of her facial piercings (and extreme makeup) continue after the break.

    You know, I think I actually have an entire gallery dedicated to “camel toe” tattoos (seriously), but this is the first “moose knuckle” tattoo I’ve seen (don’t know what that is?). This was done by Johannes at Chronic Tattoo in San Diego, California…

    Yes, João does have a life outside of suspending with his friends, to prove it he sent me five videos showing off his mad scar skillz, so I used my mad video whittling skillz and came up with this..

    The BME update should be posted in a couple hours (it’s nearly uploaded, much to the chagrin of Rogers Cable who’s warned me that I’m nearly through my monthly bandwidth quota of a measly 95 gig), but until then, who doesn’t love dirty German Brazilian girls?

    Here’s some nice (and healing in the photo of course) hand tattooing on Bridge by the very talented Marc from Swastika Freakshop in Radolfzell, Germany (who I haven’t mentioned here in a while because he’s taking a break from the online world — lucky guy!). A photo of the other side is after the break.
