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.

    So when I posted this cutting by Efix Roy a modblog commenter by the name of Tsarik left this comment:

    >>so many of these cuttings look excellent when freshly done. do the wearers or artists have the foresight for how it will look when finished? so few of these cuttings are worth looking at when actually healed.<<

    I understand her scepticism. I am generally of the “bold will hold” mindset , especially when it comes to scars. However, with the caliber of some of the artist that do these detailed cuttings, you should not be surprised to know a lot of them heal magnificently.

    A perfect example of that is this awesome cutting that was done by Jonz of Sideshow Tattoo in Boise Idaho and Wayde Dunn.

    Here it is fresh…

    To see it healed in all of it’s glory, keep on reading.

    …and here it is healed.

    See, a modblog commenter asked ,and I answered. I am trying to make sure modblog covers what it’s readers want to see. That being said, I could use some suggestions from you guys.  So if there’s anything (or anyone) you want to see here , or if you just have some cool pics that you would like to see posted, please let me know. If you are on IAM, I created this forum on my page to leave suggestions. If you are not on IAM you can email me through the “email this author” link next to my photo below. If you want to ask or suggest something 100% anonymously you can do so on my formspring page. I can’t promise I will use everything suggested, but I am open to most possibilities.

  • I am NOT ok with a full page of post with not even one sexy lady on it!

    So, I sent my lovely wife, Rianne, on a mission to find me a beautiful lady on IAM that would be modblog worthy. I think she did a damn fine job by finding this great picture of Annie taken by the talented Helena Grier.

    The ball in Times Square is about to drop and Tim’s balls look like they are about to explode!

    Whether you celebrate tonight by ingesting alcohol or injecting saline (or neither) have a safe, fun night and a great start to 2010. I hope to continue entertaining, educating, challenging and disturbing modblog readers throughout 2010. Here’s a sampling of what I have in store for 2010:

    -An in depth look into the life of BME’s punk rock anti-hero perk900.

    -Lots more From The Vault features.

    -Interviews with some of the most fascinating people on BME who most would never hear of otherwise. I really want to get one with Tiger shark man a true man of the sea, who lives on a boat and has filed his own teeth down to be more shark like.

    -I will continue to use words like “taint” just so Ian McKown will continue to have something to bitch about.

    -And of course, plenty of sexy women, modified genitals and tattoos that make you go “hmmmm”.

    Obviously, you can see the non-censored picture from Tim’s BME Hard bonus gallery by simply clicking through.

    I make jokes of things that upset me, that is how I deal with things and I know I am not alone in doing so. So when I saw uptown’s “Daddy, No!” tattoo, I shot her a message on IAM. I wanted to know if this was indeed her way of dealing with some horrific childhood experience, or if she just had a crude sense of humor.

    She responded assuring me that there was “no deep rooted family stuff”. Apparently, she calls her boyfriend, Troy, “Daddy” and this was “just an amusing  idea” to her.

    I think it’s quite amusing myself, although it may be a bit discouraging for Troy when he’s trying to get some oral. What do you guys think?
