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.

    Well boy howdy, I can’t think of a better way to wrap things up today than with this outstanding backpiece-project worn by Barcelona’s own Lewis Dodd. It’s been two years in the making (by Kabra at Elektrikstrom Tattoo in Valencia, Spain), but now? Now it’s finished, and it is glorious. I’ve said it before, but because it’s so commonplace, I think it’s pretty easy to take for granted how great pieces like this can be—you see some traditional Japanese imagery and figure it’s just some flash off the wall or what have you—but this is just a pleasure to take in. More shots of the full suit, after the jump.

    Well hey, it occurred to us that it’s been a minute since we’ve posted much in the way of suspension photography, but as luck would have it, the good folks of Poland’s Blissful Pain suspension team were apparently reading my thoughts or something and sent in this beautiful set of shots, some of which even feature our old friend Havve from Wings of Desire. Nothing particularly crazy here—just a lot of high-quality suspension shots, and hey, that’s good enough for us. More after the jump.

    The last time we saw Cookie, we caught a glimpse of some of her 3D implants and scarification work, but, quite frankly, that was just the tip of the iceberg as far as her rather intense and extremely impressive body of modification work goes. The implants are (obviously?) by her husband, the illustrious Steve Haworth, tattoos by Nicole McCord, and the scar work you can see is by our favorite ubiquitous Australian, Wayde Dunn, at the Haworth Mod Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. More pictures, of course, after the jump.

    Hoo boy, this guy? This guy is just a mountain of a man. You know all the stories that have been alternately told throughout the years about Bill Brasky/Vin Diesel/Chuck Norris/Angela Lansbury/etc.? Every time those various feats of strength and hilarity were told, the storyteller was thinking about this man. True story.

    See, you see a photo like this one of Largo and his new friend, and you wonder, was it staged? Did he fall asleep on the beach and wake up with this pinchy little bastard holding on for dear life? Did he lose a bet? Is it just part of the jewelry he’s wearing? Is there a fire burning? Did he bring any lemon slices? Is there rice in the truck? Is th— oh, sorry. I’ll be at Red Lobster if anyone needs me.
