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.

    This tattoo (by Bruce at Body Art Tattoo, Newport Beach, CA) has to be one of my favourites of recent months. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this sprayed on a wall around Toronto, along with “Think, Please!” Toronto graffiti artists are quite special.

    “I’ve wanted my knuckles tattooed for years, so after a few days of internal struggle and a few drinks I decided to go for it! I think that people nowadays are getting lazier and are less informed, so my tattoos are a reminder to me and everyone else to educate yourself and read more!”

    If I could afford to have my books shipped over from England, I would definitely do as I’m told..

    So, as this is my last post (for the Canadian evening), I thought as a change of pace I’d treat you all to some geek influenced tattoos, and a scarification.. Another few hundred Kilobytes of photos are after the break!

    First up is Matt and his “thumb of power” scarification that leaves motorists bewildered as to why they stopped to pick him up! By Wayde Dunn, Infinite Body Piercing, Philadelphia.

    Next on the gurney is this super-vibrant “medical” tattoo on IAM: medic (surprise, surprise) and is by DeeDee Seruga, Requiem Body Art, Spring Hill, Florida.

    These are my personal favourites! Clickthrough for larger images..

    IAM: shadowsoldier, by various artists around Lansing and Kalamazoo, Michigan.

    The penultimate tattoo in this entry is by an unknown artist (who was apparently bipedal through the entire sitting!) from Tiki Tattoo in Mesa, Arizona.

    IAM: jessicamolko – “1.4% is the genetic difference between human and primate.”

    And finally (hope you’re not too geeked out because the second batch is going up tomorrow night!), it’s this charming gamer tattoo by Matt Griffith (2 Dollar Pistol Tattoo, Chillicothe, Ohio).

    I’m planning to make tomorrow a BMEBoys day, the unfortunate truth is that boys don’t seem to submit as many photos as the girls. Judging by the above though you can’t blame computer games for that!

    I think Jerry might have eaten something a little funny as he said his Zombie tattoo (still in progress) is by Perdo at Saint Sabrina’s, “Mini-Apple, Minnesnowta”.

    Do yourself a favour Jerry, and lay off the Soylent Green.

    This gorgeous in-progress oriental sidepiece on IAM: Jane.Jones and is by Troy Semkiw, Freedom Tattoo in Vernon, BC. I’ll keep you updated!

    And no, you can’t see a reflection of her vagina vulva in the television screen. I’ve already checked, a lot.
