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 couple of photos from an anonymous benefactor of Za, offering further proof that (some) redheads may, in fact, still have their souls. Too small a sample size? Maybe. Clearly, we need more pictures. After the jump, see where our model keeps her sugar skull hidden.

    Well, here is some typical European vulgarity, courtesy of known curse word aficionado Lionel from Out Of Step (more), who is just tremendous. Now, you may ask yourself, “Why is some waffle-faced puppet walking a tightrope with an umbrella that keeps the rain in, apparently, while wearing a smock that reads ‘Go fuck yourself’ in Lucifer’s preferred tongue (French)?” And the answer, of course, is…magic?

    I really like this approach to your everyday pirate ship by Shawn Carrier at The Ink Spot in Ottawa, Ontario. Wait, now that America (and by extension, the world) is under attack by actual pirates, all the time, is being a fan of the old school “Argh, matey!” pirates somehow uncouth? Should it be? This is a debate that needs to happen. What say you, ModBloggers?

    Good morning, ModBloggers! Say hello to Corinne, who, really, just wanted to show off her split tongue, and was worried we wouldn’t be able to see it in all its glory. I think the view is just fine.

    In the future, after the last newspaper has burned, the Internet has eaten itself and various Twitter and Tumblr robots murder each other in the streets all day, every day, we will have no choice but to get our news from the tattoos of the townsfolk. Adam is just setting the pace with this combination Swine/Avian Flu (“Flying Pig Flu,” of course) tattoo, which will undoubtedly be the final straw for humanity. Either that or some sort of Scientologist dinosaur meteor. If you only bet on one apocalypse scenario today, make it one of these. Thank you for your continued support of BME Casinos. We’ll see you tomorrow.
