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.

  • Screw the mainstream!

    Check out more fashion-ready photos of IAM:Reby on her page. The piercings you see were done by Alex at Triple X Tattoo in New York City, where Reby is currently apprenticing (and looking for volunteers) — before this she was a professional model, but as she says “my fixation with mods is probably going to get me kicked out of the mainstream.”

  • Webbed Toe Piercings

    I don’t know if it moves me into an exploitative way of thinking, but I really enjoy seeing a combination of developmental abnormalities and body modification. This is a simple example on Scarlet, a pair of piercings between fused toes, done by IAM:PiercedPirate (Zak at Tattoos Unlimited in Morehead, KY). It’s still healing in the photo here but he tells me they’re doing fine now.

  • Screw Fashion

    Sometimes people take odd or hammed-up pictures of themselves for BME.

    I’ll say I consider that a good thing.

  • Oh, the irony…

  • Keloid Before and After

    As you can see below, sometimes lobe piercings blow out with the most revolting of tumorous keloids. Here’s a before and after (or should I say more philosophically, after and before) of a correction done by Andre Fernandes at Tattoo You in Sao Paulo, Brasil.

    Oh, and if you really must see the little amputated ear buddy, click here.

  • They pierce dogs in Hungary?

    …or is it a gag photo? You decide.

    “Hi. My name is Bea. I’m Sanjin’s dog, and I also have a piercing. I had it done one year ago and I’m very happy with it!”

  • New ISP coming soon…

    Perhaps you’ve noticed that ModBlog has been offline for some of today. Yeah, I’m not thrilled about it either. I don’t think I can legally post the home address of the ISP folks responsible so an angry reader can burn down their house, so let me just wish this sad fate upon them: I hope because BME was offline thanks to your incompetence, that your kids don’t learn how to find a decent piercer and get Hepatitis C at some no-glove home piercing party.

    OK, I don’t really hope that, but seriously, having servers offline makes me crazy. Sorry!

  • Body Piercing for the Amish

    Purple666 sent us this funny picture of a pierced beard, done at the first annual Porto Alegre Tattoo convention (that’s in Brasil for the geographically challenged).

  • Silly Human Tricks

    Again, the IAM username comes as no surprise: big-tounge

    Har har, it’s a forked tongue.

  • Your wish is my command…

    This is for the people asking me to post more naked people.
