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.

    Tatjanaturtle is (among other things) a designer, thus her great new “CADD GIRL” tattoo (computer-aided design and drafting)… This is one of my favorite “nerdy tattoos” to date I think, probably because I took so many years of drafting and architechture classes! Tattoo by Joy Rumore (The Milkmaid, LLC), at Venus in NYC.

  • Nice Double Daith Placement

    This daith set was done by Benjamin at Spirit Garden Tattoo and Body Piercing in Northfield, MN, using 16ga 9/16″ and 5/16″ rings. I like when people take these really “simple” piercings and shine them up a little with pretty variations.

    I am a fan of the work that Jee Sayalero at Freak Family in Spain has been sending in to BME lately… I like this piece a lot — it’s very pretty and covers a range of styles, without feeling “overdone” or too heavy.
