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.

    Eyeball tattooing.  We’ve talked about it before when it first started to come about a few years back.  Shannon did a great piece on it, as he documented the procedure that Howie did on him.  It’s been well over 4 years since that article and while it is still extremely rare, we do occasionally get submissions.  I just want to note that while it has been successful for some people, this is one of the riskiest procedures and can easily lead to blindness.  Do not under any circumstance even attempt this without proper research and preparation, and even then you can still lose vision, and possibly the eye itself.

    That all said, here’s a client of xRonix showing off his blackened sclera.

    xRonix is currently working at Extreme Needle in London.

    Again, don’t even think of attempting this without extensive research.  If anything is off by the smallest of measurements it is possible to go blind.

    Ya, that’s right.  I’ve got not one, but TWO BMEBoys for you today.  And I have it on good authority that at least one of them will be at the BME NYE 2012 party.  So not only do you get to ogle them here, but you can also do it in person in a couple of weeks.

    First up is the Decembearded Richard ‘Effin’ Ivey who wishes all the ladies a Merry Christmas. (His words)

    And next is Evan, aka IAM:Velo.  We saw him in last week’s Friday Follow-up showing off his 6-week old scar that Richard cut.  And here he is now at the 6 month mark.

    It’s one thing to put 150 needles in a single line, it’s something else to work up an entire elaborate design that covers the upper portion of both legs.

    The legs belong to sugarNspice, and the piercings were put in by Dennis “SpankyDoom” Eymer from Art and Soul Tattoo in Portage, MI

    The stomach isn’t an area of skin known for its rigidity, so it’s amazing to see how the geometry of this dotwork piece is near perfect.
