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.

    I am very sad to report that Matt Luvpain (July 24, 1976 – June 11, 2007) passed away in his sleep on Monday from natural causes, and attempts to resuscitate him failed. Matt was a friend, an extremely modified individual who was one of BME’s most prolific contributors, and one of the Eunuch Archive moderators. This comes as a very unpleasant and upsetting surprise to myself and the multitude of people he touched. Matt will be greatly missed by his many friends and family.

    I really like how very happy Sonia seems about her chestpiece that’s in progress (this photo is from the day after the second session — click through for a shot of the work being done) by Mike Cole at Anatomical Art in Moreno Valley, CA.

    Staff sends in this sort of amusing shot (well I found it amusing anyway) of a skull inner lip tattoo done by Tony at Whitedragon Tattoo and Piercing Studios in Stockport, UK.

    Squiggles sure is strong! And what a great tattoo she’s getting by Jason Maybruck at Darkwave in Roxbury, MA (you may remember that it was posted in a much earlier state in January).
