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.

    How? I haven’t decided yet if this is a corny joke, mildly offensive, or maybe both? Tattoo by Joe Alhof at Trader Bob’s in St. Louis.

    This tattoo is by Jen Beirola at Grinn and Barrett in Omaha, NE who tells us, “the customer wanted a strap-on cock that hung below her knee.”

    So… if Nintendo decided to sue Ian Hudgines of Anchored Ink in Murrieta, CA, would the fact that he’s included the registered trademark sign in the tattoo make the penalty worse?
    DO NOT BE GENTLE… See, I thought this was a kinky fisting tattoo, but it turns out it’s some sort of army thing. Shows what a sheltered world I live in. Tattoo by Stacy Shoppa at Electric Graffitti Tattoo in Muscatine, Iowa.
    Yeah, that’s mature. Tattoo by Greg Duffek II at Sleepy Hollow Studios in Roanoke Rapids, NC.

Still, very cool:

    At this point in the web’s history, niche tattoo sites are not that uncommon — dragons, firefighters and more firefighters, tattoos based on the art of Amy Brown and more… There’s a new one I’d like to mention, care of Ryan over at Dinosaur Comics, and that’s the Webcomics in Tattoo Form gallery site. It’s still just getting started, but check it out by clicking below.
