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.

  • The Legend of Neil

    When I saw this photo in the gallery last night I knew that there was only one Neil that would get this scar of the Asmodeus symbol.  Now because this is Neil Chakrabarti, he doesn’t do anything half-assed.  For example, his pull/suspension at Suscon earlier this year was dedicated to his good friend Spliff, who was in a horrible car accident last summer, and we’ve also seen his throat suspension, which should never, ever, be attempted.  Given Neil’s affinity for all things hellbound, getting a symbol of the king of the demons/prince of hell shouldn’t come as a surprise.

    Kcir was the one lucky enough to rip away at Neil’s flesh for what I’m guessing was an extended period of time.  You can see more photos of the scar in Kcir’s portfolio gallery.

    This foot was made for walking.  It was also made for a generous amount of ink.  It also happens to be attached to a really awesome dude named Alan.  Given how notoriously painful foot tattoos are, the boldness of the black and sharp lines are a testament to both Alan and the artist.

    Rolf is one cool dude.  I had the pleasure of seeing him suspend down in Dallas during suscon, and since then he’s gone on to suspend several more times all over the world.  Taking a look at his IAM page you can see just how incredible his suspension journey has been, and he certainly shows no signs of slowing down.  Here he is during his 96th suspension, a 6pt coma, that he did while in St. Petersburg, Russia.

    I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for Rome to send in a photo.  This hunk of man-meat is one of the most gracious people I know, and even though he shaved off his glorious beard, he’s still dead sexy.  Oh and he happens to have a brand new facial tattoo that looks pretty awesome.

    One more thing.  He’s going to be coming to BMEFest 2011, so if the bouncy castles weren’t enough to entice you, Rome should be.

    While I’m sure some of you might be expecting a video game related post with that headline, the fallout I’m referring to is happening on ChrisB‘s arm.

    As Chris’ branding heals, the ink that was branded over will fall out, leaving a nice negative space flower on his arm.  As many of you with brandings know, they hurt, a lot.  So who was it that got to torture Chris?  None other than Brian Decker.  Which of course brings us back to the title, as Brian and Chris both work and live in New York City.  You can see more of Brian’s work in his BME portfolio gallery.
