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.

    I don’t think our “cock locked to his leg” friend is on IAM, but the giant septum is on my old friend Babasom from Kolkata, India.

  • The latest? A transdermal chin implant.

    Damn, Patrick from Denmark is starting to look pretty intense!

  • Anesthetics for a surface piercing?

    I know there are different standards and norms in different countries — this surface piercing is from Lima, Peru. You may notice that anesthetic is being injected in the first photo. What’s strange to me about this is that for almost all people, injecting the anesthetic is going to hurt far more than the actual piercing!

  • It always surprises me what heals

    It bruised a little when it was first done, but this insanely long Tygon surface piercing is now about eight months old in the bigger photo. The piercing is by Alec at Straight to the Point in Portland, OR. Normally my worry would be abcessing, because keeping a piercing like this drained and healthy isn’t easy… but some people can heal anything!

    Not something I’d normally recommend, but it looks good.

  • Damn Tourists!

    IAM:Homeinacoma has about two inch earlobes and went out to Six Flags Over Texas and was then accosted by tourists for cell phone pictures (hey, I know what it’s like). But I suppose it’s as good a way as any to meet chicks!

    I love this photo of Mothragirl, Drew, and of course baby Alice. The picture is by Stacey Potter who has contributed quite a few wonderful photos to BME over the years.

  • Holy crap that’s intense!

    Not only is this a giant gauge and very deep pubic piercing, but the jewelry is brutally DIY (outside of metal issues, that’s some serious threading to pull through)… and even more insane, the piercing “needle” is just a sharpened piece of rubber tubing. Seriously, this feels like one of the more intense DIY things I’ve seen recently.

    You know, it’s almost 4:30AM, so I’m on day three of no sleep, to say nothing of the medication I’m on that’s supposed to make me sleep. So not only am I generally delirious from over a decade of working in erotica, but I’m also delirious from three days of no sleep… so I can’t really tell if I’m awake or dreaming. This photo leads me to believe that I’m having a good dream. Uncensor if you want.
