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.

  • Hong Kong Tattoo Documentary

    Jessica sent me the following email, asking for feedback on her high school media studies project.

    I’m a 17 year old piercing apprentice studying in Hong Kong, and I intend to pursue a career in film and television. I combined my two passions together and for my final film project, I created a documentary about tattoos and piercings in Hong Kong.

    As part of the project, I’m looking for feedback both from people involved and interesting in the subculture. I was wondering whether it would be possible for you to tell me what you think of it, or even help me post this somewhere so I can gain some criticism that isn’t the youtube “lol datz good”?

    Happy to help! Here it is; let her know what you think.

    Jymmi had Howie (LunaCobra) implant magnets into his earlobes. He won’t be able to use them for “clip on” jewelry like in this photo (the tissue would die from the pressure), but maybe he’ll be able to “hear” electromagnetism?

    With all due apologies, any time I see a fit blond tattooed guy, all I can think of is the freaky Russian body builder! Lexci snapped this shot (one of a large number posted by various people to the galleries) at this year’s APP convention. By the way, that’s Eric who was featured when the cuttings were fresh.

    Chavito got a funny cracked self-portrait done by Craneo at Garage Ink in Mexico City, which is (I think) where he’s also the piercer…
