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.

    Cell phone cameras… A modern wonder.

  • Red on Red

    Is it just me, or does blood go really well with bright red lipstick? This is from an ear scalpelling (from 20mm to 30mm) done in Sao Paulo, Brasil.

  • More Fused Toe Piercings

    Maybe I’m having too few random hookups or something, but I’ve never seen merged toes or fused toes like this in person, but I keep getting photos of them pierced (here’s another few). This particular set of eight (?) little piggies was done by Mark at Capital Q in Edmonton, Alberta…

  • Human Rib as Body Jewelry

    I get a kick out of this shot of Kevin at the NYC tattoo convention wearing a human rib (as in what girls are made of a real human rib) as jewelry for his stretched septum and ear lobes. Or at least that he tells me. I just realized as I’m writing this for all I know I’m being messed with, ha.

  • Punch, Re-punch, Taper!

    Damn, this is pretty intense in terms of just how much of a percentage of the outer conch is gone — a punch, repunch, and then taper to 000ga (about 7/16″). Piercing by Modified-Design, Sherman, TX (c/o IAM:Jessestar).

  • I am definitely going unsane.

    Thanks to XunsaneX for this great steamy photo by Don from Southbound (and piercing by Jessika at River City Tattoo in Richmond, VA).

  • Hearing Aid + Helix Story

    Written by

    Let me just share the story directly:

    Since I was born with a fairly severe hearing loss, I'm pretty much required to wear hearing aids. I never liked to (still don't) but there's not much I can do about it. I decided rather than just put up with my condition, I could try and have a little fun with it. Hence, an Ear Head piercing enclosing the tube of my hearing aid.

    [The first time] it rejected very quickly, and I got it redone this January, this time by by Anne at Studio 13 and a Half with a 16g barbell. Once it heals (assuming it ever does...) it will be a CBR as well [as you see in the photo].

    It's quite swollen and unhappy right now. It gets bumped and yanked waaay too much in martial arts class!

    Thanks to photographer GeorgeZix for this crazy picture of a couple Taipas/Sao Paulo piercers.

  • A corset for prom

    I love that temporary piercings have become a part of formal wear! Cutie-pie Theresa got this 8-ring corset done for her prom, and I have to admit that it completes her look quite perfectly. Oh, and that says prom, not porn. I know, you may have misread it, this being ModBlog and all…

  • Thanks, Rahim

    Have I mentioned that Rahim owns the patent to Viagra? Well, something like that. Anyway, for this scene his manufacturing facilities were at Mercy Studio in Winnipeg, MB.
