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.

    As if you needed further proof that your editor is a fickle dipshit, ModBloggers, after months of lamenting the cold and looking to welcome summer with open arms, well, summer is here, and it’s officially too damn hot to do anything. Seriously. It is Aruba out there, which, coupled with a garbage strike, has turned this city into one hell of a sweltering shitfarm. Let’s remember a simpler, cooler time with the lovely Ryanne, all bundled up, comfortable, not a care in the world. Sigh.

    Hoo boy, would you look at that? That…well…that’s just plain vulgar, isn’t it? Yes sir. Misogynistic? Absolutely. Just generally distasteful and offensive? Undoubtedly. Yep, something like that is damn-near sure to instigate a host of heated comments. Yes, indeed.

    (It sure is well done though, isn’t it? Tattoo by Josh Weir. Also: Paging Mike Beer! Mike Beer to the courtesy phone!)

    Oh! Ahoy-hoy, ModBloggers! Thanks for joining us today. If you are indeed inside this afternoon, rather than gallivanting outdoors and replenishing your woefully depleted Vitamin D levels (or maybe that’s just me; lousy rickets), well, then the least I can do is start your afternoon with the lovely Li’l Annie Anderson who, apparently, has fallen right on her stomach on that slick floor. What a hazard. Luckily, she seems to be in good spirits about the whole ordeal. And, hey, how about a deal: You get a nice big click-through of our model here, and in exchange, for the rest of the week, nobody acts like someone with a minor lobe blowout (or lobes with a shape that make them look a little blown out) may as well be covered in elephant shit. Deal? Deal. Good doing business with you, folks.

    And again, thanks for coming to ModBlog, your number one cannibal resource.

    As is likely well known around these parts, ModBlog has a proud tradition of tattoos celebrating both the work and many faces of Salvador Dali. This is a tradition we would like to continue, and, hey, we like to think that this handsome portrait of the man by the shit-kicking Nikko Hurtado at Ignition Tattoo in Hesperia, California, is a fine addition to an already impressive canon. “But Jordan,” you ask, “what kind of man wears such a fine portrait of such a gleefully mad artist?” All your questions will be answered after the jump.

    Do we know who it is? Well, no. But he’s wearing his summertime clothes, and on a scorcher like today, that’s just good thinking.

    Peace be with you, ModBloggers. Until tomorrow.

    Oh well look, it’s Rusty, a welcome addition to the pantheon of good-lookin’, heavily tattooed and pierced gents with mohawks! Sure, he may look forlorn in this photo, but worry not: Sources confirm that he is merely napping.

    After the jump, Rusty shows some titty, just because.

    (Photos by Ben Kahlil Rose and edited by Rusty’s girlfriend, Penny, who adds, “My boyfriend is hotter than yours.” Hey now.)
