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.

    Alright, OK, enough of the good times we’ve been having today, what with all the Satan faces and ancient religious weaponry—time to get down to brass tacks, and the dangers of this so-called “body modification” of which we are all such great fans. See that up there? That man, covered in food? Trying desperately to tongue that bit of sauerkraut off his face? This, my friends, is one of the many potential pitfalls of engaging in risk-laden behaviors such as “body piercing.” I’m not saying you absolutely shouldn’t get piercings, but just look at Artie up on top and, being honest with yourself, decide if that sort of life—happy, attractive, well-fed—is the kind of existence with which you are comfortable. Just saying.

    Hot on the heels of this vulgar hell-demon, here we have a fine facial flesh-removal piece by the eyebrow-impaired Brandon Vermillion at High Class Tattoos in Ventura, California. There’s a lot to appreciate here: First of all, it’s good, solid cutting that seems to be healing rather well. Second? You’re not going to find a better excuse to break out some Anchorman quotes. Free reign, folks.

    Hey kids, it’s (almost) summer, and you know what that means, right? Casual Fridays are back! That’s our friendly neighborhood giant up there, hangin’ around, stretching out (in more ways than one), maybe getting ready to catch a little sun. That’s gonna leave one hell of a tan line, buddy. (Of course, click through to de-Phil.

    Woo, it’s Friday. Time to fly.

    Continuing on with our much-heralded “Corset Week” here on ModBlog, it’s the lovely Jenica, posing in a photo by Megan Cash, showing off these fancy arm corsetry projects she had done for her birthday. Not just that, though—these were done in tandem, while she was having both legs tattooed as well. Sensory overload, hmm? In her own words:

    My piercers wanted in on the fun too, so towards the end of the night, Amanda and Kaz did tandem corsets on my arms while Bert and Kaelyn were tattooing my legs. Four artists to one canvas! With all of my limbs being worked on at one time, my brain was having a hard time of choosing where to direct my attention. It was a fantastic adrenaline high to say the least!

    Jenica then hulked out of her shirt and punched through a brick wall, just because.

    Well hey, look at that! It’s the always lovely (and controversial?) Lesha, checking in again—this time bottomless as opposed to last time’s toplessness. And…hey, what’s that on her stomach?

    Ha ha, look at that! It’s this tremendous scarification portrait piece, a month into the ol’ healing process. Seems to be coming along nicely, but the question, as always, is how is the commentariat dealing with it? I’m going to say…hilariously.
