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.

    …when you go to have blood taken, and they can’t find your vein so they just keep poking you over and over? And then the dumb nurse cracks some offensive joke like “you have so many piercings, you must like pain — I bet you’re enjoying this”.

    Normally when I say that, it’s in the BME/HARD context of play piercings inside and around the anus… Here I mean it more literally… Thanks to Shawn O’Hare, the Pastor of Pain at the Pain Parlor in Oxnard, CA for yet another picture featured on ModBlog. For the record books, his girlfriend took it 101 times in the butt. Er, that came out wrong.

    I really love this photo of Skatuaba and Perola doing a play piercing scene down in Sao Paulo, Brasil. Unless I’m missing something, he’s taken the easy way out — tape doesn’t cut it… Is this part of the conspiracy that always gives women the tougher role in life? I don’t know, but I love the smile.

    Thanks to my friend tan0k from Moscow, Russia for sending me these play piercing photos (by Alex and n00kie)… Oh, but don’t ask me about the Russian bootleg Dr. BME shirt, because I’m not so sure that I have warm feelings about that particular aspect!

    Don’t get me wrong Brasil — you know I love you! Any country that names itself after fully waxed privates is A-OK with me. So don’t think I’m detracting from your wonderful smoothness in any way when I post these mildly hilarious pictures of a rite inflicted by Joao Caldara at Blitzkrieg Tattoo e Piercing in Petrópolis, RJ, Brasil. I don’t know which of these two pictures is funnier…

    Thanks to Spacy for submitting a photo series of her heart sewing (self done at home in Liverpool). I’ve seen this as a tattoo theme quite a few times, but I think this is the first time I recall it being taken so literally!

    Thanks to Mai Mai for these shots of her playing with needles at a friend’s house in Gualeguaychu.

    Here’s a kitty make-up scene by Master Liam and Suicide Kitty for sending in this series of photos from a performance they put on (more will be on BME soon) of what’s kind of a mix between Cats (The Musical), Chinese Medicine, and BME culture…

    Thanks to cute little Icelandic elf IAM:XunsaneX for this great shot of her taking over seventy needles from Max Brand at All or Nothing Tattoo in Smyrna, Georgia. Seriously, I am so enamored with Iceland and Icelandic culture in general, and that statement is even more true after writing this entry (it’s a little country — I can draw statistical interpretations from a single person, right?).
