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.

    Here’s a curious (but much better for your health than a pack of Marlboro) tattoo that Phil showed me the other day – Neither of us were sure what it was but a little Googling revealed the truth, excuse the shop link but it’s the best version of the original logo I could find, here’s a blog post by Jenny we found that explains it further..

    I’d love to know why he chose this product as much as you would. I’m thinking his family produce it or it somehow saved him from contracting Malaria (not that he’d know it saved him I supposed, as it’s a mosquito repellent not a Malaria vaccine), but anyway..

    It’s by Durga, a mobile tattoo artist who works in Indonesia, primarily Jakarta, Bali and Yogyakarta (the special region).

    As the last post was pretty intense I thought this nice calming family scene on the arm back of Brandon would be nice.. It’s based on the artwork of Robert Williams and the original can be seen here.

    There have been a couple of Rosie the Riveter tattoos on ModBlog over the years – This one by Mr Chris (Modified Evolution, Colorado Springs) has a slightly more Gaelic slant (or Sláinte) to it..

    Here’s yet another wicked back piece, this time from Ra, Decorate Tattoo, Phuket, Thailand.

    “The tattoo was drawn on free hand. It’s not finished yet and there is still a lot more detail to be added to the bugs/spiders et cetera, and pink shading where all the skin is torn.

    Seventy eight hours of work in seven days and the longest sitting was fifteen hours! The reason behind the tattoo? I wanted it to look like my back was ripped open and underneath the skin was a decaying zombie. It’s only two weeks old and the photo was take only eight days after the last sitting so there will be more photos to come!”
