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.

  • Stretched Earlobe “Corrective” Surgery

    Written by

    Shannon Larratt

    A long time ago when BME was only a few years old, my grandmother offered me a big pile of money to have my earlobes surgically reversed… I needed the money so I initially agreed, but backed out at the last moment and thankfully still have my ears.

    I’m seeing more and more earlobe stretching reversals these days, some amateur and some by a doctor. Mike’s, shown below, is one of the biggest reversals that I know of, going from a full (and very healthy looking) three inches down to nothing at all!

    Anyway, I’m taking the weekend off from writing [here], so check back on Monday for more posts, and I do expect to update BME once or twice over the weekend. Keep on sending in pictures!

  • Navel Removal

    Take a close look at this photo and you’ll notice the total lack of a navel. It hasn’t been Photoshopped out — it’s been surgically removed… As will probably come as no surprise, this is via the always cutting edge Emilio Gonzalez of Venezuela, currently opening a new studio in Belgium.

    His slogan? CHANGE YOUR MIND, I’LL CHANGE YOUR BODY.

    As well as via IAM and Mithos Tattoo, you can contact him at [email protected] if you’re looking to have work done.

  • Hardcore Tattoo Removal

    Check out this pretty extreme tattoo removal (left to right: just getting starting, removal procedure completed, healed) by Castillo in Venezuela… I’ve never wanted a tattoo removed that badly personally, so I think if it was me in the client’s position, I’d probably go for a tattoo coverup instead.

  • Penectomized Cumshot?

    Obviously these are very adult photos, so don’t click them if you don’t have curiosity about what it looks like for a man with balls but an amputated penis to blow his load… The photos are real (in that they captured what was there), but my personal take is that you’re not seeing quite what you think you are (think glue + glans modification), although I admit I’m not sure.

  • Deep Hand Piercing

    Assuming the picture is what I think it is (a crucifixion style hand piercing going from the back of the hand all the way through to the palm), this is a pretty over the top intense modification. Thanks to Genio at Dildo Body Piercing (yes) in Greece for sending it our way.

  • Tongue Splitting Tongue v. Tongue

    This photo from Chris in Scotland of his DIY tongue splitting made me wonder… if a split tongue meets up with a regular single tongue, is it a three way?

  • RFID implant photos

    We’ve covered RFID implants on BME in the past, but it seems like more and more DIY implants and active projects are going on these days. Here’s a photo of Rob at MetaFlesh in Brighton, England putting one in via injection (as well as the autoclaved implant, and the electronics being used to control home access using it).

  • Oh, that sucks!

    The fact is that sometimes procedures go bad and have to be reversed… Transdermal “implants” (I put it in quotes because they’re not quite implants; more like really intense pocketings) are one of those procedures that seems to be more problematic than most. Here’s an example where four transdermal implants sunk in and completely grew over. My friend Howie (aka Luna Cobra) — who emphasizes that he did not install them — took them out.

    Note to self: Update BME/Risks.
