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.

    Well that was a fun day, no? Pretty people, a cute puppy, and the glorious return of the Fire Joe Morgan-style article takedown; as far as I’m concerned, a day like that deserves a crown on top. Now, I know I had to eat some shit the last time I posted a photo of a microdermal augmenting a tattoo, but I think this piece is a little more nicely executed, and maybe makes a bit more sense conceptually. Wear it well, ModBloggers.

    Until tomorrow.

    I have to admit, I’m still sometimes amazed by the radically different ways in which people may develop scars as a result of cuttings. Here we’ve got a pair (actually, a trio) of cuttings that illustrate this nicely. Up above is a scarification piece by Wendi from Ann Arbor, one year old at this point—healing well and evenly, leaving a somewhat faint scar. After the jump, another pair of cuttings by Wendi that took a wildly different turn.

    Night and day? Night and day. The single-line around her breasts is six months old, and the lotus cutting is three months old. The wearer in this case is referred to as “my muse”—with good reason, it seems! Obviously, bits of the breast scar have underdeveloped in relation to the rest of it, but what a reaction nonetheless.

    Oh, hello! Welcome to the nation’s leading renter’s insurance advice column, “PVC Wednesdays”! Today we have the lovely Cyberesque and her man, all done up in the shiny black stuff, posing at London’s Torture Garden back in 2008. Handsome couple, no? After the jump, they ditch their earthly bondage for something a little freer.

    Good day, ModBloggers! I don’t know about you, but it’s kind of grey and wet and generally miserable over in these parts, and I could use a pick-me-up. What I could really go for is a picture of a pretty pierced girl making funny faces while holding an adorable dog…well holy shit, look at that! That’d be Sweet Dee, with a septum pierced by Phish while at HTC in Phoenix, Arizona, and holding onto one her apparently many heart-stabbingly cute dogs. Yeah, that’ll do nicely.

    I honestly don’t know what I like most about this photo of BobBert. Is it the great smile? The fancy newsboy cap? The discreet piercings shrouded by glorious facial shrubbery? (And, by extension, the opportunity to use my beloved hearty beards tag?) Maybe the fact that he’s beaming that grin because he’s about to get a Prince Albert piercing?

    I’m going to say…all of the above. Is that allowed? Hey, I’m the editor here, you bet your ass it’s allowed.
