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.

  • Nekromantik Tribute Tattoo

    When I was in high school (I think I graduated in ’91 to put it into context… I’m getting old!), these were my favorite movies:

    • Pump Up The Volume
    • Suburbia (1984)
    • Heathers
    • Harold and Maude
    • Nekromantik
    • Der Todesking

    On account of the last two, I was quite pleased to see this tribute to Nekromantik by Bud at Evil or Sacred Tattoo in Los Angeles. I know that only a few people will probably appreciate this piece because the movie is somewhat obscure… The wearer tells me they’re planning a second Nekromantik-themed tattoo soon as well.

  • Tattooed Branding

    Tony Powers, one of the few tattoo artists also doing scarification, did this tattoo over a strike branding… Because of the very traditional design I imagine it makes an interesting impact because at first people write it off as “boring” but then all of a sudden realize they’re looking at something “more”.
