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.

  • On the subject of commercialism…

    But hey, commercialism pays the bills… Better to have BMEshop ads that the insanely stupid (seriously, don’t buy the junk) “tattoo removal” creams and so on that Google keeps insisting on dumping in the tattoo galleries (we actually had a little staff meeting today debating whether we should cancel GoogleAds to avoid these scams, although I’d like to think that BME readers are well enough informed not to be conned by them).

    Thanks to Trillance for sending in these shots of Kim and her “Guess Where“ BME shirt (and BME belt buckle), which as a point of trivia has sold more copies than any other single design that we’ve ever done, and has also been consistently in print longer than any other design other than the classic.

    Anyway, that’s all for this evening, but like I said, I’ve got plenty more to post over the next couple weeks and will get it all queued up so things keep running in zombie mode while I’m under the knife. There’s also been a zillion images posted to BME, and I’ll have an experience update posted there later tonight as well!

  • Implanted Chest

    These implants that Moritura had done by Swastika Freakshop (www) are really aesthetically gorgeous… I like them a lot! These two photos were taken on day five, so you can still see the sutures and a little brusing, as well as some swelling — if you visit her on IAM (or the BME implant galleries) you can see them with a lot more definition and in various other stages of healing.

  • Chuck Norris’s Tattoos

    Nap Time!

    Oh wait… they’re actually on James and were done by Noah Childs at Dollstar Tattoo in Maysville, KY — you can see how much side of hand tattoos fade (these actually held up relatively well in my opinion). I think Chuck has something more manly and patriotic like an eagle. Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s only there to hide another fist.

  • Megan’s Taint Piercing

    Meagan (as in Naked Meagan dot com) has a couple rather rare genital piercings. As well as the funny ass-crack piercing, she has a “taint piercing”, sort of a deep, horizontal double fourchette I suppose… Not something you see that often!

  • Bry’s Gag Tattoos

    White Guy Bry swears that his “small” tattoo (done at Exo Graphix in Destin, FL) gets him laughs at the beach, although he doesn’t say whether they’re laughing at him or with him… Being a pun fan, I personally prefer the tattoo on the right (by Michelle at Mejestik in Tucson, AZ). If you don’t get it, it’s his nipple ring.

    He also has STD’s on his ass — I’m sure you can guess that joke (and you can view more silliness on his new IAM page) — but the mirror writing on his chest is really, really sweet… it’s a note from his sister.
