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.

  • Rachel on The Molls Show!

    So, if you’ve been around the Internets once or twice, you probably know the lovely Molly McAleer, formerly of Defamer and other various hilarious online ventures. (She even beat Christina Hendricks for “Best Newcomer Boner” on Boner Party! The Internet is a magical place.) Well, now she’s hosting The Molls Show, and wouldn’t you know it, she just had BME‘s own Rachel on as a guest to answer a very special question about tattoos. The whole episode is fun, but if it’s just Rachel’s soaring soprano you wish to hear, skip ahead to the 2:00 mark. And then go back and watch the rest of it.

    Last time we saw The Enigma, he had just gotten some wild skin removal scarification, with John Durante having cut out big X’s around his eyes. He also had a ton of facial piercings covering the lower half of his face. And, well…Durante took care of those, too, apparently. I’m looking very forward to the inevitable commenters who’ll remark that they hope Enigma knows he’s never going to find a job looking like this.

    A close-up healing shot of these new scars, after the jump.

    You know what? I don’t care what anyone says; I think suspenders are at least the second-best way to keep your pants up. Glad to see that Seth agrees.

    That’ll be it for today, folks. Come on back tomorrow for all kinds of good stuff.

    Hey, it’s our returning champion, babylovedoll! (Previously.) This shot is part of a set for the brand new issue of Nickel Empire, Alive on the Inside. “Support sideshows,” she says, “and buy the magazine.” Hey, you heard the lady.

    Hey, ModBloggers! All this hubbub over the dreaded Mexican Pig Virus or whatever got you down? No need to worry. It’s summer! Just go out for a nice leisurely swim in the ocean, where you will almost surely be devoured by a murderous shark before the dreaded swine plague ever even enters your body. Don’t say your old pal ModBlog never gave you any good advice, folks.
