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.

  • Unusual Ear Piercings

    Sorry I don’t have more to post today (well I do, but I’m not going to) — but yesterday I added lots, and I’ll have more tomorrow of course as well. Anyway, I wanted to show a couple of unusual ear piercing photos that had been submitted lately. Let’s start with what’s being called a “sub-tragus piercing”. This one is by John Von at On The Edge Tattoo in Bowling Green, Ohio.

    Alan from Ground Zero in Muncie, IN sends in this next shot of a helix to rook to daith industrial piercing. He emphasizes that the piercing has not distorted the shape of the person’s ear — she naturally has pronounced enough ridges. It would not be possible on someone who didn’t have this anatomical abnormality (at least not with a straight bar).

  • Half naked piercers? (And Vader)

    Well, since everyone seemed so pleased when I posted a shot of Jay’s geisha tattoo, I thought I’d do another de-clothed male practitioner entry. Here’s Shawn O’Hare from The Pain Parlor in Oxnard, CA working at a convention…

    It got me wondering though why I see male piercers working without their shirts on so often. Not that I really have a problem with it, I just wish there was a little more gender equality. Anyway, if you didn’t like this entry, perhaps you’d rather see Lord Vader naked (warning: link contains tattooed wangage).

    Thank you to the very (multi) talented Christiane from Pinpoint Piercing in Oslo, Norway. In addition to the obvious piercings, check out his 3D-art implant work and her scarification project.

    Oh, I can never get enough of her — and that’s a surprise, given that there are something like 3,000 pictures of her in her bonus gallery (“Kitano”) in BME/HARD (all of which I processed personally). I have no idea what Japan’s laws on public nudity are, but I’m really blown away by the bravery that my friends there have in where they’re willing to pose!

    I made a New Year’s Eve resolution to try and quote Stewie Griffin more often, so let me just say: “It appears my wee-wee’s been stricken with rigor-mortis!”
