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.

  • The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down

    And so here we have action personality Chev Chelios, who has been injected with some sort of serum (or maybe implanted with a device? Who knows) that will make his organs explode or his junk fall off or something if his heart-rate falls below a certain level (it’s like Speed, except the bus is a person!), and so he let some tiger maul him on the ass for an adrenaline rush, which should keep alive for at least another 15 minutes. Next on the agenda is a date with Dominique Fisher.

    Shortly after this photo was taken, Mario (pictured above) climbed a vine up to a cloud and punched the shit out of a turtle. Err, wait, this is Andres, and he says:

    Mushrooms have always been seen as a way to get in contact with inner knowledge. The symbolism [of this tattoo] is to drive my inner knowledge out of my body, through my tongue and turn it into words of knowledge.
