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.

    Erik sends in this shot of he Tobben (Erik’s Tobben’s on top) doing a tandem suspension during their first live suspension performance (!). Nicely done, gents.

    Mornin’, ModBlog! Hope the day finds you well. Just remember: If you stare into the Splanchna long enough, the Splanchna stares back at you.

    One other thing that was special about today, aside from a certain excuse to drink the devil’s green cider? Unseasonable warmth! Up here on the frozen tundra of the barren Canadian hinterland, anyway. In celebration of our dying planet, I present to you these popsicle tattoos, belonging to Hayley, a piercer at Primal Urge in Perth, Australia. And, as it turns out, these delightful summer treats aren’t even called popsicles in Australia, and instead are referred to as “icy poles.” The Australians are a sweet and literal people.

    EDIT: These are actually friendship tattoos! One is on the aforementioned Hayley, and one is on her best friend, Miss Spoons. The lesson, as always … I’m a jackass.

    Continuing our wholly half-assed St. Patrick’s Day theme, how about this handsome young Russian gent wearing green, right? No doubt it was intentional, and not something I’m co-opting for my own lame purposes! Really though, I’m almost always a fan of Teflon (or other such white jewelry) in big stretched piercings, and ol’ blue eyes up there is certainly no exception.

    Even if our friend a post below can go either way on St. Patrick’s Day, the sentient alien ooze that’s covered and commandeered the body and soul of this gentleman? Loves to party. Loves it. Ever seen bio-mechanical ooze do a kegstand? Get ready. Gonna be epic.
