Times They Are A Changin’
Written by
In a relatively short time, body modification seems to have not only grown, in terms of pushing boundaries but also in terms of mainstream attention, at least, that has been my observation. I can’t imagine some of the more extreme body modifications being covered in mainstream media (other than a purely negative piece) when I first discovered BME (however many years ago that was, shh, not telling).
Gelding sent me a link to an interview he did with Gawker. The interview itself is very professional and positive (I can’t speak for the comments). It’s refreshing to see this sort of extreme modification getting positive coverage from a more mainstream outlet.

Yesterday was Remembrance Day in Canada and Veteran’s Day in the United States. It’s a statutory holiday in my province so I didn’t see this submission from Zombieprincess until today but I wanted to share.

Ink Blood and Spirit
Written by
I just received word that Ink, Blood and Spirit, a documentary on Little Swastika whose work has been featured on ModBlog in the past, is available on-demand as an online download. Here’s what the filmmakers had to say about it:
A biographical portrait of the self-taught tattooer and artist ”Little Swastika” , whose work is well known worldwide. Filmed in december of 2013 at his studio and gallery – Psyland – located in the small village of Tengen in southern Germany. The main focus is his life story with topics such as inspiration, religion, drugs and body modification.
The film has screened in twelve countries, has been nominated for best documentary and has been officially selected to several film festivals.
If you’d like to watch the trailer or rent the film, it costs a whopping $1.99, click here.

Summer is drawing to a close. I think the expression on the fellow below sums up how I feel about that.
Another great tattoo from Kipod in Tel Aviv. This one was inked by Max Wert.

I went searching through the archives of BME to find something to post for today. This was submitted anonymously so, unfortunately, I can’t credit anyone but I thought it was fitting.
Have fun and play safe today!

How nice – to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.
