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.

    … as much as it may sorta look like one (minus the low-cut V-neck hipster tees and grey leggings, of course). What it is, however, is a couple of kids, very much in love, very much in Sweden, in various stages of undress. Hooray!

    We share our love for funny tattoos and bright colours. That’s what keeps us together. We both have knuckle-tattoos, chestpieces, septum and smiley piercings. When one of us does something, the other one does the same thing! We both even have our screen-names tattooed on the other’s ankle. We know, we’re geeky.

    Oh God yes, are you ever. But hey, you’re cute, so we’ll let it slide. More shots, post-jump.

    It just occurred to me that it’s been an eternity since we featured anything by way of all-star BME photo submitter Kitano Karyuudo and the lovely Eva, pictured above; I really love the starkness of the pictures in this set (among other, more obvious things). More photos, all click-throughable, after the jump, but if that’s not enough, check BME/Hard for their extensive gallery.

    And finally, folks, let’s wrap things up today with a tale of steampunk love, as told by Noah up there:

    [This was] taken at Metrocon 2009 in Tampa, Florida, this past weekend. There was a steampunk theme to the whole convention, so naturally the better half and I went all-out for it. One of the notable differences between the two pictures (the other is currently the cover on BME) is that in the time between them, I (successfully) proposed to my fiancee on stage in front of an entire convention center full of anime and gaming fans. And, I got numerous comments all weekend both on the hair and piercings.

    Productive weekend! Congratulations, Noah. And with that, have a good night, all—steampunks, crust-punks and non-punks alike. We’ll see you tomorrow.

    The lat time we saw Andy around these parts, it was nothin’ but wang, which, hey, yielded few complaints. But now, we’ve got an update on his vertical lowbrets (which we’ve seen a few times in the past), freshly up to 3.2 mm., potentially on their way to 4 mm., and in mighty good health from the looks of things. After the jump, a shot of that adorable punim from a better angle, chops and all.

    We’ve featured the very lovely Satanycandle on these hallowed pages before, and she’s always been vaguely shape-shifty—well, no exception here. This time around, she joins the ranks of our esteemed cephalopod-esque models, doing her best octopus impression, dreadlocks waving this way and that. Not to mention, the pink jewelry is a nice contrast to the blueish photo, and she just looks awfully peaceful in general, does she not? Yes. Yes she does.

    Let’s see…guns? Check. Money? Check. Why do I feel like Mia is forgetting something?

    Of course! Quick, someone send lawyers—the shit’s gonna hit the fan.

    And now, folks, our week has come to an end. What went on this time around?

    – The horrible Starface-Gate came to a welcome end.

    – Oh hey, a “permanent” corset!

    – This is just one of the nicest damn portraits—Dali or otherwise—you’re gonna see in quite some time.

    – And here is some shocking vulgarity, etc.

    – Come to Tattoo Hollywood! Come on, you know you want to.

    Now get off the computer—it’s glorious outside. Enjoy your weekend, friends, and thank you for your continued support of BME.

    Greetings, ModBloggers! It seems like our prayers to the heathen Owl God have worked, as yesterday’s soul-crushing humidity has been washed away by furious thunderstorms! (There are several thousand things your editor would rather do than sweat.) Anyway, to give thanks, here we present a photo of “The Anonymous German,” sporting some rather large stretched nipple piercings, hanging out on the surface of the sun.

    Whoa hey, it’s already Thursday! Good times. One question, though: Did you sell me to wanderlust?

    As if you needed further proof that your editor is a fickle dipshit, ModBloggers, after months of lamenting the cold and looking to welcome summer with open arms, well, summer is here, and it’s officially too damn hot to do anything. Seriously. It is Aruba out there, which, coupled with a garbage strike, has turned this city into one hell of a sweltering shitfarm. Let’s remember a simpler, cooler time with the lovely Ryanne, all bundled up, comfortable, not a care in the world. Sigh.

    Oh! Ahoy-hoy, ModBloggers! Thanks for joining us today. If you are indeed inside this afternoon, rather than gallivanting outdoors and replenishing your woefully depleted Vitamin D levels (or maybe that’s just me; lousy rickets), well, then the least I can do is start your afternoon with the lovely Li’l Annie Anderson who, apparently, has fallen right on her stomach on that slick floor. What a hazard. Luckily, she seems to be in good spirits about the whole ordeal. And, hey, how about a deal: You get a nice big click-through of our model here, and in exchange, for the rest of the week, nobody acts like someone with a minor lobe blowout (or lobes with a shape that make them look a little blown out) may as well be covered in elephant shit. Deal? Deal. Good doing business with you, folks.

    And again, thanks for coming to ModBlog, your number one cannibal resource.

    Oh well look, it’s Rusty, a welcome addition to the pantheon of good-lookin’, heavily tattooed and pierced gents with mohawks! Sure, he may look forlorn in this photo, but worry not: Sources confirm that he is merely napping.

    After the jump, Rusty shows some titty, just because.

    (Photos by Ben Kahlil Rose and edited by Rusty’s girlfriend, Penny, who adds, “My boyfriend is hotter than yours.” Hey now.)
