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.

    It looks like Aj spends plenty of time training that he was able to snag a photo with Relson Gracie but I’d be nervous to do any kind of martial arts with stretched lobes. Let’s hope he wears headgear!

    I love how subtle this piece is on BadMolly‘s thighs. They’re by Wayde Dunn while he was in Sydney, Australia.

  • BMEshop is up

    I forgot to post on here that BMEshop is back up and running. We’ve got Calm shirts, Elements Shirts, Calm Hoodies and a whole new slew of books in the book section. I’ve already added ICHIBAY, SHIGE and PINT‘s books and I just added one about HORIYOSHI III as well as his One Points Sketch Book .I dropped the price on the Revisited book and cut the price in half for the Revisited Limited Edition Book (includes limited edition binding, case, stickers and prints). Doing one tattoo out of those books easily covers their cost. They also make great presents and tips for the tattoo artist in your life. Wink! wink!

    You’ll also probably see a lot of Tattooer related tshirts going into the “Friends of BME” section. This is the stock that was up on CanvasLA’s website and it will continue to be on sale for $20 bucks a tshirt designed by tattooers all over the world. It’s easier to migrate it over to one system instead of having it spread across two sites. We’ve got Rebel8, MATW, To Die For, Sullen and a couple other tattooer lines. We have limited styles and colors left so check through the clothes to see if we’ve got your size. They haven’t all been added yet because it takes a long time but I’m getting to it. Thanks to everyone who bought stuff via Canvas while we were down.

    If you didn’t see it posted elsewhere, we’ve been having a weekend sale for 30% off most of the stuff (not including items that ship from Canada) in the store until Monday. Use the discount code “bme4days”. If you have any issues ordering, please email the shop!

    joao_caldara sent in these photos of his adorable son, ThÈo. They’re in Petropolis,  Brasil which google tells me today does exist, it’s not just some evil villians hide away in some obscure comic. This is what I plan to do all weekend since I’ll be hanging out with my own little princess all week.

    I’ve got to go back to laying on the floor playing with animals that eat people who eat fairies and continue to be the faerie protector and get all the snuggles I can. Catch up with you on Monday. If Monday’s posts are a little delayed, sorry about that, I’m just preoccupied. I also tend to try and update on East Coast time but I’ll figure it out on Monday.

    Jason definitely has a very interesting menagerie of tattoos. His latest tattoo by Pecka Lindahl of Pecka’s Tatueringkonst in Stersund, Sweden is no exception. I figured I’d post this one since everyone loved the Care Bears Sleeve, that you all would no doubt dig this guy.

    I’m going to the airport shortly to pick up the darling love of my life who would also probably love this tattoo. I’m going to try to get a couple posts up over the weekend but I’d rather spend the time I have with her playing, than stuck behind a computer. Thanks again for support BME! See you guys on Monday!

    While a stretched labret piercing is something that’s become fairly common these days, I don’t get very many submissions with stretched multiple labrets. Riskysphincter has 9.5mm tusks courtesy of Karl.

    I was lucky enough to not have had a mouthful of water when I got to this submission. Crazyamerican just looks so cool and comfortable. He’s just sitting there on his leather couch, maybe watching tv, maybe there is a big bowl of cheetos out of the frame. I’m not sure what it is.

    So I’m sure you’re thinking, what was so funny about the submission? It’s the simplicity of the caption. Like it isn’t a big deal to be lugging around a big wiener. Everyone has one right? Maybe I’m just too easily amused.

    We’ve had a surge in submissions from Atlanta, GA and sugarbritches is no exception. Her tattoos are by Malia Reynolds of Memorial Tattoo in Atlanta and Mark took the photos.

    In the vein of posting people who look happy, I’d love to know what this gentleman is smirking about.

    This lovely lady is from France. I’m hoping she starts an IAM page soon so we can see more of her.
