BME: Body Modification Ezine

A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

    And here we have a fine rendering of what I can only assume the final days of World War III will look like, once society as we know it has crumbled and all that remain are the giant squid and steampunks, fighting for a world no longer worth living in.

    (“The squid and the ship are based on one of my own illustrations,” says the wearer. “I sent the rough to Russ (Abbott) and two days later I was getting it done in one sitting whilst leaning over a fold out metal chair (at the Boston Tattoo Convention). Gotta love conventions for that. If I had been in Georgia, it would have been over a month waiting period to get it down.”)

    And here we have Cynn, showing off her ever-expanding floral bodysuit. This time around? The throat and face. A couple more shots, after the jump.

    Hey, straight outta London, it’s handsome young xmonox! With all the fame and riches that will come of this posting, we can only hope he’ll be able to purchase the lenses for his glasses. (I kid, I kid.)

    Good morning, ModBloggers! Really great shot here of another person pulling off some lovely asymmetry with her piercings—especially liking the chunkier labret and monroe jewelry.

    Hey, remember when I said I had a fun surprise this week? I wasn’t lying! Live from the parking lot of one of Las Vegas’s finest Del Taco establishments, this afternoon we caught up with Brian to see what sort of excitement’s been going on during the first few days of this year’s Association of Professional Piercers convention. Among the topics of conversation: good times at a shooting range, the brick shit-house that is Buck Angel (evidenced by he and Sarvas disrobing for a photo together) and the lethal combination of the boner pill Cialis and grapefruit juice. And, of course, much, much more. Get it below. Get it.

    (Ed. note: The sound is a little fuzzy at times, but I cleaned it up as best I could. Brian was in a bit of a noisy area. We’ll forgive him.)
