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.

    Tibetan Monks, and most of the rest of the world for that matter. I mention the monks because they tie into my religious theme and this piece was merely described as “Tibetan”.

    This extremely clean scar (especially for it’s location)  was a collaboration between Christiano Aielli and Lewis Dodd.

    PS: My apologies for the brief repost of the pistol scarification piece. Some how I missed that on modblog previously and when I searched to check that it hadn’t been posted, none of my key words triggered it. Thanks, Jon P for pointing it out.

    ..in a land far, far away a friend of mine, known as “lord of the blade” sent me this picture of an itty bitty flesh removal key. It was the tiniest flesh removal detail he has ever attempted to pull off.  I held onto this picture in my chamber of secrets (my bme email box) for many, many moons (since last December) until it was just the right time to post. Now is that time.

    The piece below it was also by Ryan, and was done five years prior. I can’t wait to see how the key looks in five years, and since I forgot about this picture in my email inbox for so long one of those years is almost over!

  • That Brian Guy

    It seems that Brian Decker guy has been busy again.  Here’s his latest scar/brand piece.

    It’s mostly a scar piece, but Brian finishes his work up with some branding which gives the scar a different texture, making it appear to be shaded.  You can see more of Brian’s work in his BME Portfolio Gallery.

    Here’s a fresh/partially healed corset scar which was done by Azl from Tattooatouage in Montreal.  I know that he did the bulk of the scarring, but the two large ones at the top look more surgical in nature.  Of course that could always be the look that the owner wanted.

  • The Friday Follow-up

    This week’s follow-up features one of BME’s newest members, Kcir.

    This Gorgon cutting was done a couple of months ago down in Houston, TX.  To see how it’s looking now, you know what to do.

    Given that this is only a couple months old, it may end up lightening a little more.  The details all held up, so it’ll be interesting to see if it fades to the skin tone while still being visible.  You can check out more of Kcir’s scarification work in the galleries.
