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.

    This handsome (and vaguely cyberpunky?) shot comes from Gibi Body Art in Brasilia, Brazil. I think they got his good side.

    Logan Gordex sends in this shot of him flashing his indestructible Adamantium claws some scalpels after doing a darling skull cutting in his Sao Paolo, Brazil, studio. Prediction: This will be slightly less controversial than Freakboy‘s famous shot.

    Good morning, ModBlog! Let’s start today backwards: Here we have a young man who got his 18 mm. lip piercing closed and stitched up by Brooklyn’s number one son, xPUREx. It’s not uncommon to find reactions to procedures like this … not negative, necessarily, but certainly sad: people tend to be disappointed when a person has his or her stretched ears/lip/whatever restored to their original state. Understandable, to be sure, but I have to say, I’m always rather impressed that these stretched piercings that so many of us grew up believing to be relatively “permanent” are increasingly reversible. This isn’t to say that such procedures should be taken lightly, of course, but the ingenuity is pretty remarkable nonetheless.
