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.

    But seriously, pierced-smurf, keep sending me photo shoots of friends of yours like Nikki (especially if you get up to her goal of two hundred needles), and you’ll stay in my good books forever.

    Oh.

    My.

    God.

    Way too hot of a photo shoot for a single guy like me. Anyway, I hope everyone likes the transition over to the WordPress format. There will be some hiccups and changes over the first few weeks, but I think that it will turn out to be very nice once everything is tagged and so on.

    I’m starving (gotta go cook something), so let me share with you a picture of one of my favorite chefs, Sistinas, showing off her daily tips and how she holds onto them?

    It may not be a piercing world record (but maybe in the gendered sense it is), but still, 550 needles is crazy intense. Procedure by Mistress Laura, Confessional at Abode, Melbourne Australia.

    I love that temporary piercings have become a part of formal wear! Cutie-pie Theresa got this 8-ring corset done for her prom, and I have to admit that it completes her look quite perfectly. Oh, and that says prom, not porn. I know, you may have misread it, this being ModBlog and all…
