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 folks, let’s wrap things up today with the fine melange of shapes, colors and textures that comprise Jamin‘s chest, including his newly tattooed nipples—which, it turns out, were actually tattooed in tandem by Gareth and Mark from Mischief Moon in Sydney, Australia. Now, last week, we featured this backpiece in which three artists worked at one—what do you all think? Would you rather three tattoo artists drill your back at the same time, or have two go to work on your nipples? Choose wisely!

    Ed. note: Sorry for this going up so late! I’d posted it earlier but accidentally under a category other than ModBlog. Forgiveness, please.

    Why so sad, zombie geisha? Is it because your tear ducts are all gummed up with blood? Because your face is looking a little torn-up? Maybe because you’re a zombie? Oh…it’s probably because you miss your old glasses, isn’t it? Yeah, you probably just miss your old glasses.

    (This excellent zombie geisha is worn by pdxPIERCER and was done by Sam at Adorn East in Portland, Oregon.)

    I honestly don’t know what I like most about this photo of BobBert. Is it the great smile? The fancy newsboy cap? The discreet piercings shrouded by glorious facial shrubbery? (And, by extension, the opportunity to use my beloved hearty beards tag?) Maybe the fact that he’s beaming that grin because he’s about to get a Prince Albert piercing?

    I’m going to say…all of the above. Is that allowed? Hey, I’m the editor here, you bet your ass it’s allowed.

    Hey, it’s Justinne, looking mighty sharp with that head of long, luscious ha—oh. Never mind. “Wearing my wig and dressed up nice,” she says, “hiding my shaved head to go job hunting.” If you’ll look after the jump, however, we have irrefutable evidence that she looks great with a shorn scalp as well. Everybody wins!

    Following up on last week’s various spider endeavors, Tye sends in these photos of his brother’s new Carnage tattoo, done by the great Lila Way at her own True Grit Tattoos in Burlington, Ontario. (The shop also houses familiar faces Greg Garrett, formerly of Way Cool Oakville, Franklin Reeves and Tom Brazda.) As for the tattoo, well, it’s expertly done, but isn’t it just begging to have that infernal symbiote bond with your precious lifeforce? Hey, priorities.
