Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

My only complaint is that TrickyDick didn’t take more photos of this. The image of Thích Quảng Đức‘s self-immolation has been burned into the collective consciousness of the world since that fateful afternoon in 1963. Granted most people just recognize him as the burning monk on the Rage Against the Machine album, but his contribution to history will be remembered by Buddhists as long as they’re around.
Feel free to harass Rich to send in follow-up photos to the scarification galleries.

I’m in a good mood today, and part of the reason is that I get to post this photo of the stunning Shandi. In fact, I’m in such a good mood, the rest of today (up until the news post) will be all BME Boys and Girls! Happy Friday everyone!
The Baroque inspired frame was done with the intention of leaving it blank, to be filled in with temporary pieces as time goes on. Pictionary anyone?
The artist Shandi went to for this piece was Lou Jacque from Transcend Tattoo in Connecticut.

Today’s follow up is a little on the religious side. To start with we’ve got a scar from Gabor Zagyvai who is well known for his minimalist style when it comes to both scarification and tattooing.
To see how it healed up, keep on reading.
I know you may be thinking that the picture is blurred, as I thought it was at first. The scar just ended up healing in a way that made the image softer, making it appear hazy. It’s a nice effect that goes well with the subject matter.

He was taken from us too soon. RIP Dimebag.
As you can see by the watermark, this scarification/tattoo combination piece was done by Anders. You can see more of his work in his BME Portfolio Gallery.
