Someone must have known it was my birthday on Tuesday because this is one present I’d love to unwrap.

They call her mom
Written by
We’ve seen IAM:Theycallmeanna here on ModBlog before for her scars, tattoos, and also as a BMEGirl. Today we’re seeing a different side to her in a tender moment with her daughter Lola.
In case you haven’t seen it before, BME has an entire gallery dedicated to photos like this. Just modified people spending time with family and friends with no emphasis on any specific modification. If you’ve got some time this afternoon, take a look around the BME Culture gallery, or even better, send in your own photos to [email protected]

Not just another brick
Written by
Here’s something you don’t see every day from IAM: Beju. Now I’m pretty certain the bricks are painted on, but the weaving over the eye is definitely real. There’s a lot going on here, with the collar, the bricks and the threading, giving this photo a sort of ominous vibe, touching on institutionalization as well as confinement and religion. Overall, it’s just a fantastic photo.

They’re called classics for a reason
Written by
Now I know Nosferatu isn’t one of the classic Universal monsters, but his image is so iconic it’s safe to say he’s a classic. Of course when you put these images in the hands of Nail, you get the familiar images with a bit of Nail’s signature modern flair.

Bad Boy Bill

Earlier today Shannon brought up the fact that BME has seen quite a few video game tattoos in its time. Sure enough, I go to check the galleries today and look what turned up…
For IAM: gunsxofxsummer this tattoo by Andy Yoder of Ace of Spades in Asheville, NC, means a bit more than just a simple video game reference.
I like to speak on many levels at once. The obvious “bite me” message, the “bite the bullet” message attributed to general tattoo/pain experiences, and lastly, a reminder to myself to stop riding the fence and bite the bullet and go to one side or the other.
