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.

  • Germany loves BME!

    I just got a wonderful letter from Cara, a fellow German (although she lives there, I don’t) who is affected by the ban on linking to BME in Germany (which keeps it out of the search engines there for example). She’s in front of the Brandenburger Tor of Berlin in the rain sticking her tongue out at the BPjS for banning BME with the explanation that it contained (and I love this), “highly condemnable and revolting scenarios of gruesome violence against humans”. That should be my new slogan.

    What’s funny is that’s pretty much how people looked at me last time I was in Germany too.

  • Wing Scarification

    Now, I’ve mentioned time and time again that I think Dave Gillstrap is one of the most talented and cutting edge scarification artists working in the world today. However, and I feel terrible saying this, but when I see these angel wings on Allison, all I can think of is the hullaballoo about the “shell with hidden penis tattoo” a while back.

    All I can think of though when I see the top of the wing (mostly because of the glans-defining blood droplet), is that it’s supposed to be a horse penis. I’m sure it will heal fine and of course it’s in part an illusion because of the blood, but in these fresh photos that’s all I keep seeing when I look… Ehhh… My mind is probably warped by looking at too many human penises.

    But anyway, I think that piece will look amazng when it’s done, almost like the ghostly white shadow of wings on her back rather than an explicit image like you’d get with a tattoo.

    Babakhin sends in this photo (no, it’s not on him, it’s a snapshot he took) that was done in a Russian prison… I’m guessing that “earning” this tattoo may not have been a pleasant experience, but who knows? Personally, I plan on avoiding Russian prison.
