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.

  • Enter the BME… rap battle?

    Some of us express ourselves through body adornment and modification, others paint and sculpt. Our friends anthonydoom and amnesiac share their appreciation for all things BME with rhymes…

    Lyrics after the break!

    Aai aai aai
    I am your butterfly, I need your protection
    Be my samurai
    Aai aai aai
    I am your butterfly
    I need your protection, need your protection

    iam, yo
    Live life on a modified plan
    I comment when I’m in the zone
    one person
    one mod
    on the site
    Gimme the time

    Yo, Rachel, go

    No fuckin’ around cutting down all dicks in my path
    Trying to fuck up my game with intact glans and normal shafts
    Hear that my dicks got bicetstyle
    Wild, out of control
    IAM’s got Shawn Porter’s sick style
    With erotic mods for normal jobs
    Great jewelry for, all
    Till I hit ASTM with the CBR
    Straight famine or feast
    When you’re living on the implant grade
    Stay sharp, sharp
    Rolling with the BME high-spiritual
    never seen mods so fresh, uh!
    When we suspend high
    our flows flex
    Yo we optimistic
    Not fuckin’ depressed
    We not like the rest
    My style is BME
    Totally unknown
    You can’t fuck with the world tour flow
    Its hard to miss
    “You can’t mod this”
    Yeah, fuckin’ who said so?
    We do what we like
    Too hot to handle
    Too cold to hold
    You can’t fuck with the modified one
    We want to scar you, uh

    Aai aai aai
    I am your butterfly
    I need your protection
    Be my samurai
    Aai aai aai
    I am your butterfly
    I need your protection, need your protection

    Rachel is way cool
    But don’t fuck with her game boy
    Or She’ll TOS you
    Skin is tough
    When needles get stuck its time to
    push through
    Till I break-break-break on through to the other side
    Check the bucket tons with patience like a stalker
    BME has hardcore
    People cut so deep, feel no pain
    It’s not sore
    Don’t ask for heavy or you’ll get what you ask for
    I’m like a wild animal in the corner
    Waiting for the break of dawn
    Trying to get through the night
    Just a man with the will to modify
    My blades swing free
    Create a subincision with amazing ease
    This is not a game boy
    Don’t play with me
    I work my scalpel
    Like a wild fuckin’ savage from the tribal side: danger!
    Meg has a plan
    Packaging orders
    BMEshop is big in Japan
    I seen the silicone
    and got implants in my hand
    BMEshop, Needles and a plan
    Deep piercing, scar making fucking decker

    Aai aai aai
    I am your butterfly
    I need your protection
    Be my samurai
    Aai aai aai
    I am your butterfly
    I need your protection, need your protection

    Fuck,
    This is like,
    The coolest song I ever heard in my whole life
    Fuck all of you who said I wouldn’t make Modblog
    They said I was a loser
    They said I was a no-one
    They said I was a fuckin’ psycho
    But look at me now
    All up on the interweb

  • ROP BBQ is coming up in just a few months

    Written by

    Sean Philips

    One of the top “don’t miss”  US East Coast events is definitely the Rites Of Passage annual BBQ/ Campout.

    This years event will be held Aug 13th, 2010 to Aug 15th, 2010. Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning will consist of BBQing, Suspensions, Pulls, and just relaxing with friends at Pittsfield State Forest in Massachusetts.

    Spots to suspend are going to be LIMITED, so it really pays to donate ahead of time to guarantee yourself a chance. For those who want to suspend please contact us via email at [email protected] or contact Cere through IAM.

    Campsites go quickly, last year they ended up booking out early, so I’d also recomend reserving your site now.

  • The Great Mustachio!

    Written by

    Sean Philips

    Aka The Great Orbax. When I first posted about March Mustache Madness, tons of submissions came in. In fact all of my personal emails, and my IAM inbox are overflowing with mustaches now. However, when Orbie messaged me on facebook and said:

    Moustache madness and I haven’t even been contacted…. thanks Sean.

    ya big jerk 😛

    I felt bad, he’s right though, how could I even consider making a mustache feature without Orbax, the man who has rocked a handlebar for years, way before it became a modern trend.

    A lot of people credit Oliver Peck for the modern resurgence of the handlebar mustache, but really we all know he was just ripping off Orbax. In fact all of you owe your upper lip greatness to the man behind the stache. Hell not even 3rd degree burns could end the greatness of his most epic mustache.

    So let us take a moment to pay tribute to the one, the only The Great Orbax.

  • Ladies seem to love this man.

    Sean Philips

    The moment Cole first shared full frontal male nudity on Modblog he became a big hit with the ladies. When he was featured on the BME Boys Calendar post, his popularity with the ladies increased even more.

    Well, I am hoping this picture, hand picked for March Mustache Madness puts a permanent end to his desirability by the ladies! Ok, ok, just kidding. I mean honestly, if the female modblog readers are going to get their rocks off to a man that’s not me, it may as damn well be my man Cole.

  • So you want to be a body piercer?

    Written by

    Sean Philips

    In my almost 10 years of volunteering for Ask BME no one question has arisen more often than “how do I become a body piercer”.

    The basic answer is “get an apprenticeship”, in this day and age there is no other reputable way into this industry. Being self taught was ok in the 90′s, when the internet was hardly in use so no one really knew any better and when piercing shops were rare and apprenticeships even rarer. Of course now there are so called “piercing schools” that claim to teach everything you need to know in a short course and then give you a nice printed up certificate proclaiming to the piercing community that you are indeed an idiot with no respect for this industry.

    Ok, so it’s obvious an apprenticeship is the way to go, but how does one find an apprenticeship? If you are lucky it can be as simple as asking the piercer at your favorite shop and them being interested in you and desiring an apprentice at that very moment. However, any piercer worth their gloves gets asked for an apprenticeship on a regular basis and can’t possibly take on everyone that ask. Sometimes someone seeking an apprenticeship will respond to an ad such as those on the APP jobs page or other form of classifieds.

    Or perhaps, you have always thought about being a piercer but didn’t even know where to look to find an apprenticeship until one day you were reading your favorite blog and the author was using it as an advertisement for an apprenticeship he was about to offer.

    Long story short, I have one current apprentice. He is just starting to pierce on his own a bit, but I am in the process of opening a second location and need one more piercer to help me cover the shifts. Of course, I could hire a piercer who already knows how to pierce, but I prefer to train someone myself. I have hired other piercers in the past and honestly, I just prefer having someone I trained to do things my way. No conflict of techniques or aftercare, just all of us on the same page. So unless you are Mason, I don’t want anyone experienced as a piercer, I prefer a clean slate.

    So if you are interested in learning to pierce by yours truly and meet the following requirements:

    -Are willing to spend a week on a trial basis to “win” your spot as the next apprentice. This will be like reality tv, without the editing.

    -Have your own transportation and be willing to relocate to the Northern VA/ Eastern WV area.

    -Can support yourself without any income from the apprenticeship (until you are capable of piercing on your own).

    -Are willing to work and take some abuse to earn your apprenticeship.

    -Want to stay in the area and work as a full time piercer after the apprenticeship. I am looking for a long term reliable employee, if this is not what you want or where you want to be this is not the apprenticeship for you.

    This could be your ticket into the piercing industry.

    Here is info on me and my current shop. I won’t waste any more Modblog space on this tonight, so if you think you are interested, email me (using the link next to my picture below entries) for more information.

    Think your not cool enough to get this apprenticeship?

    I thought this picture of Atlanta, who beat out the competition last round may be enough to encourage ANYONE to think they can get this if they really want it.

    About being a featured girl: This event is open to all BME Girls age 18 and over. Girls of all shapes, sizes and race are encouraged to submit pictures. Contestants can be dressed or nude, but nothing too pornographic will be featured. Pictures need to be of decent quality, lest the readers condemn me to hell for posting webcam shots. Agreeing to be involved is consenting to be featured in the calendar, if you are selected for it. If you want to suggest someone, feel free to do so. I will contact them and see if they are interested, but no one will be featured without their explicit approval. To submit pictures, please email them to [email protected] Make sure to include your IAM: name (or real name) in your email.

    About voting: Votes will be tallied by emailing [email protected], just make the subject “Vote (insert name of girl you choose)” and your vote will be tallied.  Votes will be anonymous, there is no reason for anyone to know who voted for whom and how many votes each girl got.  Voting for one week ends when the following weeks post goes up. Please note, this isn’t about competition, it’s about a fun, interactive way to get the readers involved in the selection process.

    About Commenting: I am enforcing a strict ZERO TOLERANCE policy for negative comments about the girls. They are being kind enough to share themselves with us and to help BME make a calendar, they should not have to fear public ridicule. Negative comments will be deleted, if we have a repeat offender, all of their future modblog comments will be sent to moderation. This isn’t about censorship, it’s about common courtesy and respect.

  • The difference between and square and a rectangle

    Written by

    Sean Philips

    All squares are rectangles. Not all rectangles are squares. That is basic elementary school math.

    In the same basic knowledge all FULL beards have mustaches, yet not every mustache has a full beard.

    Yet, for March Mustache Madness on Modblog, I am getting several submissions of Abe Lincoln style jaw beards with NO MUSTACHE.

    This months special bonus super extreme modblog feature is about Mustaches, sometimes these mustaches will be attached to beards, but for this month the beard takes a back seat to the mustache.

    If you have a rocking hearty beard you want to share with Modblog readers, either submit pics to BME the old fashioned way and hope it gets picked or patiently wait until SeptemBEARD, but this is March Mustache Madness.

    Bein here understands the difference. Here he is with his double nostril , 1-1/2″ lobes and featuring his attempt at a mustache!

    025

    Now to answer the question everyone’s asking, “what happened to the BME Girls feature?”. Well it turns out we have had some legal issues and can no longer show naked females…….Ok that is total BS. The truth is I had made a mess of my email account with all the submissions and votes and had to get that all straightened out. Also, I am in the process of opening another piercing shop on top of lots of other personal projects none of you care about. However, what a lot of you do care about (as made obvious by the mass amount of messages and emails I received) is seeing gorgeous modified women on a weekly basis. So tonight, I am featuring a few extra beautiful modified ladies to make up for my recent failures to do so.

    Also coming soon an interview/ feature on Jared from OneTribe organic body jewelry.

  • Tasty Tasty Tattoos

    Written by

    Once upon a time I was at work and got a ferocious craving for a corn dog. We searched all the local delivery joints and even the grocery store and not a single corn dog was to be found anywhere! To make sure I NEVER had to be without a corn dog again, I got one tattooed upon my shin that very night.

    I doubt shahafpoint, being a vegetarian would ever get a tasty, tasty corn dog tattooed upon him, but his  corn schnitzel tattoo (by Snir Zelman in Israel) is damn cool none the less.

    You may also remember his Tic Tac tattoo tribute to his grandmother, can we expect more tasty, tasty tattoos on him in the future?

    CloseButNoCigar’s 1/2″ septum ring sure is shiny, in fact , if you look closely you can even see him taking this picture in the reflection. Could this be the new “myspace mirror shot” for 2010? Want one of these shiny rings for your own piercing, BME Shop has them!

  • BME Risk Update: Parenting and Stretching

    Written by

    Sean Philips

    The BME Risk section on BME is an invaluable source of information pertaining to the risk associated with various body mods. However, like all of the BME Wiki features, it is in need of some updating, and that is something any BME member can sign on and do.

    Perhaps then, I should write an entry on the dangers of parenting and having body mods. As you can plainly see here, my 10 month old son, Sylas, has no problem yanking on my stretched lobes with all of his might.  He also likes grabbing the microdermal on my face, biting the subdermal on my hand and clawing at the already angry transdermals in my head.

    So remember modbloggers, the pull out method only works if you actually pull out and kids are awesome, but they can be hell on body mods.
