BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    Wow, I totally love this bio-mech leg piece by my old friend Chris Govier (at Dragon Ink in Swansea)… For the sharp eyed, you’ll also note that he has a skeletal leg tattooed on the other side!

  • Germany loves BME!

    I just got a wonderful letter from Cara, a fellow German (although she lives there, I don’t) who is affected by the ban on linking to BME in Germany (which keeps it out of the search engines there for example). She’s in front of the Brandenburger Tor of Berlin in the rain sticking her tongue out at the BPjS for banning BME with the explanation that it contained (and I love this), “highly condemnable and revolting scenarios of gruesome violence against humans”. That should be my new slogan.

    What’s funny is that’s pretty much how people looked at me last time I was in Germany too.

  • Now I know how to turn on a Latvian girl!

    How cool is that, they have switches on the backs of their necks. Oh, that makes things so much simpler! Or maybe she’s permanently turned off? This is a home tattoo from Riga, Latvia:

    Let’s see… Other than that, I’m thinking about breaking ModBlog in half, so it’s ModBlog and ModBlogX or something… Basically the goal is to split the site so that I can put the hardcore photos (BME/HARD type stuff and other explicit pictures) all on one blog, which would allow me to put non-porn ads on this site so it can start paying for itself!

    Thanks to Ozgur at Caddebostan in Istanbul, Turkey for this somewhat odd tattoo of a crab claw ripping out of a guy’s side. I wonder what the client’s story is…

  • Beatdown Tattoo

    I admit that I first noticed that Ludvig has not only tattooed the sole of his foot with “IN YOUR FACE”, but that he has also forgotten to close the barn door.

  • Operafication coming soon to Norway

    …but this wonderful (and kind of erotic) photo is from a performance by OperaNinja (yes, she’s miced because she’s an amazing opera singer and combines these two artforms) on March 11th in Eugene, OR. You’ll also find her at this year’s Oslo SusCon as far as I know!

    I think every tattoo that Rich Bustamante has sent me has been top notch, but I particularly like this racoon.

  • Wow, those eyes…

    Pankusha says she’s my votaress. That means she has a bigger vocabulary than I do (probably in quite a few languages). But I went and looked it up, and with those ice-blue eyes, I’m pretty sure it would be easy to reverse the spell.
