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.

  • Never too young to start

    At a sprightly 72 years young, this lovely lady strolled into Courtney Jane Maxwell’s studio, TRX tattoos and piercing in St.Louis, MO, and got herself a brand new nostril piercing.

    It’s good to remember that the modified community is probably the most diverse one on the planet.  People young and old are bound together by the desire to change themselves to who they feel they should be.  And while she didn’t get anything considered “extreme”, I’m sure for her this was a significant event in her long life.  If anything, it put a smile on her face.

  • She’s a unicorn

    A wise man once told Siobhan that she must be a unicorn because he had never seen someone as perfect as her.  Granted he was specifically talking about a couple of her assets, but she’s still pretty awesome. These photos in particular show off just how stunningly gorgeous she is, the second one in particular just screams “sultry vixen”.  Her husband is one lucky guy.

    Not surprisingly, she makes an excellent addition to the BMEGirls Gallery.

    And here’s a peek at the assets in question.

  • Up here my eyes are green leaves, unseeing

    I am alone. They have gone into the house for breakfast, and I am left standing by the wall among the flowers. It is very early, before lessons. Flower after flower is specked on the depths of green. The petals are harlequins. Stalks rise from the black hollows beneath. The flowers swim like fish made of light upon the dark, green waters. I hold a stalk in my hand. I am the stalk. My roots go down to the depths of the world, through earth dry with brick, and damp earth, through veins of lead and silver. I am all fibre. All tremors shake me, and the weight of the earth is pressed to my ribs. Up here my eyes are green leaves, unseeing. I am a boy in grey flannels with a belt fastened by a brass snake up here. Down there my eyes are the lidless eyes of a stone figure in a desert by the Nile. I see women passing with red pitchers to the river; I see camels swaying and men in turbans. I hear tramplings, tremblings, stirrings round me.

  • A sprout in a field

    This lovely lass is Katesprout, she sent in quite a few photos over the weekend, but this one stood out the most.  There’s just something almost pastoral about it, as if she belongs out in that field, rather than in a building somewhere.

  • Didn’t anyone ever tell you not to bite your pen?

    Raise your hand if you’ve ever bit into a pen only to discover your mouth is suddenly full of ink.  Yes Relynn, that includes you.

  • She and Him

    You can’t go wrong with a couple of modified hotties steaming up your computer screen on a Friday.

    The young lady on the right is Peanog, and the gent on the left is the lucky guy she calls “Him”.

    These lovebirds have a few photos up in the tattoo galleries if you want to get a better look at them.

  • Peaceful Eyes

    It took me a moment to realize that the peace signs in Tianahailee’s eyes was just the reflection of the light, and not contact lenses.  Regardless, she’s a great way to kick off a Tuesday morning.

  • Turning the other cheek

    Rob

    One of the rarer piercings that pop up in the galleries are dahlia piercings.  While we see cheek piercings from time to time, dahlias seem to not be as prevalent.  Below is a young lady sporting dahlias by Brian Sane from Sink the Ink in Doylestown, PA.

    You can see more of this beauty in the cheek piercing gallery.

    I’m pretty sure she’s wearing false eyelashes, because if she isn’t I know a bunch of people who will be extremely jealous.

  • New Year’s BMEBoy

    Written by

    Rob

    Well for some odd reason, there aren’t any heavily modified babies to have as the BME New Year’s baby, so you’ll have to do with a BMEBoy instead.  Now, as the baby is normally portrayed pushing aside an old man with a beard, it’ll be only fitting if Evan here were to start growing his beard again for the new year.  Who knows, maybe by this time next year he’ll have himself a nice epic beard to help usher in a new BMEBoy for 2012.

    Among Evan’s many piercings are his stretched lobes, a few nostril piercings, a medusa, a large gauge cartilage piercing, and while you can’t see it, he’s also got himself a fairly large septum.

    This, ladies and gentlemen, is Adhara.  She’s a member of the Lotus Dance Studio Troupe, a tribal belly dancing group, and recently performed at Camelot Days 2010 in Florida.  Not only do we have a couple of pictures of her, but after doing a quick google search I was able to track down the performance where the photos were taken.

    Now the markings on her face are just paint, but her labret, industrial, nostril, and other piercings are real.
