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.

  • Facial expressions say it all?

    I don’t know how Cere does it (best I can come up with other than NLP is quoting Wesley Snipes — always bet on black!), but Phoenixxx (who as a point of trivia has seen a lot more shaved female genitals than I have) got “Cere” (“the man, the legend”) tattooed on her wrist by Cindy Vega at Local Color Tattoo in Philadelphia… He seems quite pleased:

    I’m having a little more difficulty precisely assessing the meaning of her facial expression though? I am assuming it’s a joking shot, but it sure has that “oh my god… what did I just do to myself vibe” to it! Or maybe she’s thinking about the tattoo that Cere just did on Robin of what appears to be a fat chick in a party hat? Or maybe a duck? I don’t know.

  • Vagina Dentata Armpit Tattoo

    A few weeks ago I was visiting a friend and she was telling me about someone she knew that had teeth growing inside her genitals (or somewhere up inside, I can’t remember). Because I’m an unseparated conjoined twin, I assumed it was something along those lines but she explained that it was actually dermoid cysts that had become teeth… Anyway, it’s the current cover but I thought some people might get a kick out of a closer look at Muffe‘s vagina dentata armpit tattoo… I like that it has a hood piercing!

  • Human Rib as Body Jewelry

    I get a kick out of this shot of Kevin at the NYC tattoo convention wearing a human rib (as in what girls are made of a real human rib) as jewelry for his stretched septum and ear lobes. Or at least that he tells me. I just realized as I’m writing this for all I know I’m being messed with, ha.

    I’m not even that much of a fan of the show these days, but I do like this Kahn from King of the Hill tattoo, done by K at The Voodoo Needle in Auburn, AL… I see a fair chunk of tattoos from cartoon-land Springfield and Quahog, but Arlen, Texas? Not so often.

    I admit, I had to couldn’t stop myself from looking it up — according to the dictionary this means “someone who is rude or difficult due to sand irritating their vagina.”. I’m not so sure it’s the toe tattoo that I’d choose for myself, ha, but Christfuck says at least it’s a conversation piece — ink by Ish at Tattoo City in Monroe, Ohio.

    These are both from Shauncey Fury at Three Saints Tattoo in Pensacola, FL. Let’s start with this tattoo of Herbert (the creepy old pedophile from Family Guy) :

    Why the long face muscley-arm? I thought you’d like that.

    And is that a nacho on your ass, or are you just happy to see me?

    I’m totally into the skills of Michael Blackmon‘s robot tattoo, “Robots Love Pork Too” (love the toaster head). By Lew at Atlas Tattoo in Portland, Oregon.

    Now, I’m not going to say anything bad about this Miller Time tattie, because it’s just begun…

    …but I did get a kick out of this Coors Attack tattoo done by Dan Henk (AKA IAM:Deadguy, currently working at PURE in Brooklyn) at the Inkslinger’s Ball.
