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.

  • BME’s Best Boobs

    Written by

    Shannon Larratt

    Rachel has been strongly considering getting breast implants done in the new year and has asked me to put together a gallery of what I think are good looking breasts. Here’s a gallery of twenty four of what I think are some of the best — all with nipple piercing I think — boobs on BME (like ‘em? get a membership and see more!). Which do you think are the best ones? What should she get?

    Click to zoom in on any that strike your fancy:

    Oh, and if your breasts are in this post, let me emphasize that I’m not hitting on you! Just on your breasts I guess? I should also mention that if you’re an IAM member, there’s an often active cosmetic surgery forum for discussing this stuff and more.

    Anyway, got an opinion as to the best breasts? Good? Bad? Post a comment here in this entry. Think I’ve missed a pair of great ones? Feel free to post a link to them.

    If you have a blog, post on MYSPACE, or otherwise want to help pimp the event, please consider reposting our press release:

    Theres nothing new under the sun. There are no new ideas, just new implementations. Scarification is a perfect example. Humans have been scarring themselves since the beginning of time. The cycle of things has in recent years brought scarification out of the closet and into the consciousness of the modification community. Practitioners have been working to perfect their craft and modification collectors have been planning what scar to make theirs.

    Why not do it together?

    Scarwars1 wasnt what you typically think of as a convention. The event, hosted by Shawn Porter and staffed by a team of amazing volunteers, was an event unlike any other ever attempted. Over the weekend of May 19-21 a group of people connected by their desire to share in an art form yet to be perfected gathered in a little warehouse in Philadelphia to perform and partake in the act of scarification.

    The results were amazing. What came out of the year of planning was a blending of artists and personalities and art and form that will live forever. Some of the most amazing scarification pieces ever performed were performed in our midst. Industry famous photographers Phil Barbosa and Allen Falkner lent their skill and eye to documenting the event. The results were some of the most amazing images ever captured. In addition to reveling in the art of scarification, we reveled in the company of each other. While the days were dedicated to hardcore art creation, the evenings were full of camaraderie.

    So why let the east coast have all the fun?

    Also photographed by Lane at the Berlin Tattoo Convention 2005 is this extremely explicit tattoo. Now, I love it, and have a similar (well, Tom of Finland-style) piece planned for my leg, but I’ll ask him the same question that I ask myself when considering this motif: how the hell do you explain this tattoo to your kids (if you have any) — let alone someone else’s kids… I’d hate to be added to the sex offender registries just for walking down the street!

    For those of you wondering what Santa does in the off season (cutting it kind of close aren’t you Santa?), this photo by my friend Lane at the Berlin Tattoo Convention 2005 may answer your question. For those of you who don’t know, Lane is really a remarkable guy that I think could make big changes in the entire body modification industry over the next ten years. Keep your eyes on him.

    Yeah, me to, but swap “burritos” for “sweet mary jane and blowjobs”. This was photographed by Big Rick at the Del Mar (CA) Tattoo Expo in November 2005.
