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.

  • Hey Ladies, Got Genital Piercings? Have Some Money!

    A couple months ago, we posted this offer from Indiana University for gentlemen to discuss their genital piercings in exchange for cold hard cash, but there was some concern that this study was maybe racist towards the women. Well, it’s your turn now, ladies!

    NOTE: No more applicants are being accepted. Thanks for your input!

    The Department of Applied Health Science at Indiana University is conducting a research study designed to collect information on women’s sexual health and genital piercings. We are looking for women who have had their genitals pierced to participate in a phone interview that will be audio-recorded. The time commitment will be approximately 45 minutes and you will receive a $25 VISA gift card for completing the interview. In order to receive the gift card a name and mailing address is required.

    To be eligible for this study, you must be at least 18 years of age, speak and understand English, currently reside in the U.S. and have had your genitals pierced.

    If you are interested in participating please e-mail us with the following information at xxxxxxxx:

    – Your first name, or name you prefer.
    – A phone number where you can be reached.
    – Several times when you are available to talk on the phone privately.

    A member of the research team will call you to discuss the study. We are looking for 20 women and will call people in the order in which the e-mails were received.

    For questions please contact Dayna Fischtein, Department of Applied Science, xxxxxxxxxxx

    The last time we saw Babylovedoll, she was locked in some heathen tongue-kiss with a young dreadlocked gentleman. This time, she’s all on her own (in photos by Andy), breaking down the fourth wall, and you know what? I think we’re all better for it. More compelling photographic evidence, after the jump.

    OK, you know what? Not fair. This just isn’t fair. “Chinchilla and cupcake parties are the shit,” she says, knowing full well what she’s doing. You don’t just combine a pretty girl with nice tattoos, an adorable animal and a delicious cupcake and not expect to get featured on ModBlog! Dirty pool. What the hell is a “chinchilla and cupcake party,” anyway? Aside from a blatant appeal to my Internet sensibilities, of course. More shameless pandering, after the jump.

  • This Week in BME

    And now, for your Friday night sex photo, is our returning champion Anna checks in with this lovely shot. Oh, winged things.

    So, the week has come and gone. In case you missed it:

    – Pauly has a fleshy space parasite.

    – I still love nightmarish animal hybrid tattoos.

    – Hayley and Hayley showed off their twin poles.

    – Headmistress Rachel interviewed the gents from Fat City Reprise.

    – Frameset stretched out his nipples, just because.

    – And then Holly got some nipple microdermals. Everyone wins!

    – This Dali/Star Wars crossbreed was pretty much universally loved.

    More scheduling conflicts, but I swear we’ve got at least one podcast coming up very soon, as well as another roundtable, more video … it’s a regular goddamn multimedia wonderland around here. That aside, we’ll be here over the weekend as per usual. Before I sign off for the night, I just want to mention that, while I rarely don’t allow comments through, I have no problem keeping something in moderation if it meets certain levels of vulgarity or off-topic-ness. You’re really not missing anything usually, but something just came through today and was too good to pass up. This, keep in mind, was made on the now-classic Skullboy post:

    Jacoby Donovan

    I LOVE CHRIS BROWN NO MATTER WHAT HE HAS EVER DONE OR EVER WILL DO BECAUSE IM HIS #1 FAN I LOVE U BABY WITH ALL MY

    … and scene. Stay safe, everyone, enjoy the weekend and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.

    When we interviewed Sean Dowdell a few months back, we included photos of a few of the very impressive microdermal projects coming out of his Club Tattoo shops. Well, here’s another one! “All microdermal projects,” Dowdell says, are done by him, in addition to “the entire piercing crew at Club Tattoo (Mercedes, Burni, Matt, Chris, Brent, Jeff and Sheena). Projects are a collaboration between all of us.” An alternate photo of a project from the aforementioned article on Sean, after the jump.
