Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

IAM:arco had a chance to head up to Phuket Thailand last month for the vegetarian festival (which involves, among other things, devotees having extremely large temporary piercings done in their cheeks into which elements of their lives are inserted). He’s written a little more about it on his page, and there is a full and growing gallery on BME as well.
Here are an assortment of some of my favorite pictures from the ones he took:

While male nullification procedures such as castration and penectomy are relatively common on a sub-subcultural level, female nullification procedures are much more rare — I’d say in a consensual context, less than a 1:100 ration of female:male procedures. These photos are very graphic, so please don’t view them if you aren’t up to it.
The first six photos are procedural, and the last two are later healed pictures. The full set (more photos at a higher resolution) is in the BME/extreme archives.

Let’s play another BME-style game of “do you know what you’re looking at”. Click the picture below to view a full sized, uncensored version of the mystery picture.
Still don’t know? Click here to see a more obvious view of the conundrum. If you still have no idea, just highlight the rest of this entry to reveal the answer (writen right now in white-on-white text).
You’re looking at a large transscrotal piercing. In the first picture it’s been twisted up and the penis has been inserted through it. The second picture is the same put the penis hasn’t been put through.

One of the coolest things about running BME is getting to meet people from all over the world… and one of the amazing things has been seeing how even though we come from different cultures and histories and speak different languages, we respond to body modification, body art, and body rituals in the same way, and it becomes a really obvious example of humans being the same all over the world.
Today let’s start with a photo via the West Coast of Canada where I’m originally from:
Next we’ll shoot over to Star Studio in Bali. These photos are of MrJaxon, Albar, the boss, the tattooist, and a mystery person… There’s more on his page if you’re interested.
Staying in Asai, we’ll move up to Qingdao, China. I’d be surprised if this is entirely legal there?
How about something closer to home like the shores of France?
Or maybe you prefer Brasil?
Speaking of travel, apparently Pingy travels by RyanAir, and has previously been to Pottstown, PA.
Becky on the other hand isn’t going anywhere:
