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.

  • Your Love Was a Lie

    Happy Friday, everyone! Just in case you haven’t all skipped out early on work to go see Drag Me To Hell or Up or another of the fine horror films being released today, here’s an actual hell-demon on John‘s leg, fighting to make its way into the earthly realm to eat your souls, etc. Yeesh. Look at those dead eyes, anguished face, hellish screaming…reminds me of my prom night! Ha ha, just kidding. I didn’t go to prom.

    Let’s wrap things up for the day, ModBloggers, with a fine slice of piercing history. Ron writes in:

    Here are two self portraits of my piercings. One nipple (left) was done by East Coast Al in the early ’90s, the other nipple (right) was done by the late Mick Noland. My P.A. was done by Mad Jack at a tattoo show in K.C. in the mid ’90s.

    Hope you guys like the pics. They are of me, taken by me, and I am well over 18.

    I have precious little to add here: This picture, courtesy of Hannah, is one of the coolest tattoo concepts I’ve seen in a very long time. Kind of wish we had some unobstructed shots of the entire project, but we’ll take what we can get. Just great work all-around here.

    Well, I mean, if you can think of a better place to keep your pens, I’d love to hear it.

    (That’d be Nuder Than Nude, playing with his new above-the-scrotum urethral reroute. There’s actually a really great discussion going on in the comments of the last urethral reroute post, with Nuder Than Nude at the center of it. Highly recommended reading.)

    Hey look, it’s Nino, and he’s all covered in some sort of salad-y headdress. As you may be able to tell from the imprint on his chest, this was part of a pro-vegan photo shoot (that he did with Lingaumara in Genova, Italy). I have to say, these came out a lot better than the “meatface” set I did a few months ago, in which bystanders paid to throw slices of bologna at my head while I wept gently. … Another shot of Nino, after the jump.
