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.

    And here we have the lovely Cale, sporting these 20-point self-done play piercing corsets, which are not only awfully pretty, but also a sensible sartorial option before breaking out your autumnal pantaloons. This sort of thing interest you? You can find our model piercing (and apprenticing as a tattoo artist) at Anchors Away Tattoo in Denver, Colorado. If you visit her, tell her Jordan sent you. It won’t get you any special treatment—I just think it’d be funny.

    The last time we checked in with Aloewishes, he was being devoured by various carnivorous plants, but luckily, our hero has made a full recovery and is able to now stand before us, looking on wistfully while standing on a nice sandy beach, thankfully free of hungry flora. After the jump, more beach struttin’, plus plugs swapped out for weights in those two-inch lobes and a better shot of a fresh labret, courtesy of Marea Vedge at Aesthetics in Indianapolis, Indiana.

    (Sorry for the delay today, folks. Technical difficulties, etc. We’re going to try to power through some posts right now, bear with us.)

    And here we have the lovely Karina in Venezuela, sporting striking redface and pulling against some sort of mythical giant, by the looks of things. (Or maybe a high wall, killjoys.) This isn’t groundbreaking news or anything, but nonetheless, it really is quite something the sort of calm and serenity that can come out of activities that should ostensibly cause pain and irritation, and this, if nothing else, is further documentation of the phenomenon that we are proud to publish.

    And here we have Philadelphia’s own Shan, there in the foreground, sporting nightmarish 2 3/4-inch bling tunnels with some poor woman’s head trapped inside for all eternity, we assume. She’s crying for help in a futile effort to free herself, but no, this will be the extent of her fishbowl existence. This is pretty much the worst mushroom trip we’ve ever had, basically.

    Greetings, friends! The inimitable Steve Haworth checks in with this photo of his old friend Oak, the co-owner (along with his wife, Bleu) of Painted Temple in Provo, Utah (which Steve calls “one of the more amazing tattoo shops [he’s] been in, both in artists and beauty”), sporting brand new rows of spines in his forearm, courtesy of Steve. The horns, though? All natural, shockingly.
