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.

  • Tattoo Picture Miscellany

    I’m running tight on time today (I <3 Survivor) so I’m going to have to post today’s tattoo pictures as a set. Let’s start with this Tootsie Roll Superhero (“I told everyone that I had a Tootsie Roll in my pants”) by Jason “Shagoo” Campbell at Artist’s Edge in Springfield, IL.

    I’m going to file Amanda’s tattoo by Lizard Tattoo in Krakow, Poland in the “Paradise? I’ll believe it when I see it!” category — but that’s only because I’m the lecherous sort that’s addicted to explicit photos.

    Tiff’s cold-war-vibe apocalyptic tattoo on the other hand does not go into the paradise category (unless you’re some sort of born-again waiting for the rapture I guess) — in this picture it’s freshly done by Marvin at Chrome Lotus Tattoo and Piercing in Orlando, Florida.

    This optical illusion elephant (count the legs and tell me how many he has) was done by Greg Christian at 252 Tattoo in Ohio.

    Tanya’s My Little Pony tattoo (quite a common theme incidentally) was done by Micro at Wild Things in Baton Rouge, LA — as you can see they’ve been customized to match her personality (unless they released tattoo and piercing themed toys and no one told me about it).

    Finally, check out this dress form done at Ink Lab — on a seamstress perhaps?

    Check back tomorrow for more tattoos, or just visit BME’s tattoo photo galleries.

  • Tattoo at age seventy-eight

    In the past I’ve mentioned the navel piercing at age 75 and the hundredth birthday ear piercing, so when I saw this I knew I had to include it as well. This picture below is Toddy‘s 78 year old grandmother. The tattoo is of her old toy lamb, and it’s her first tattoo! I love it!

    Thanks to Cliff at Zebra Tattooz in Streetsboro, OH for sending in this tattoo he did. I’m not sure what the actual story behind it is, but is it bad that all I can think of is Professor Farnsworth on Futurama when I see it?

    Can my trip to Belarus and Russia include a stopover in Australia? Aww, who am I kidding with these unrequited fantasies? It’s mostly just me rambling. In any case, thanks to IAM:miss calamity slayed for this shot. Lots more great fashion shots on her page.

  • Where are the swing sets?

    These song lyrics (I think?) were done by Shauncey Fury at Bombshell Tattoos in Pensacola, FL. “We couldn’t find any swing sets, so we just drove all night, listening to mix tapes” — if anyone knows the source, feel free to post it in the comment forum.

    Meh, what’s wrong with me, posting tattoos that remind me that I’m alone on Valentines Day?

    Thanks to Larry Brogan at Tattoo City in Lockport, IL for sending in this labially well endowed pinup tattoo. I get a chuckle out of imagining the client explaining what he wanted to Larry.

    Is anyone reading this a politician? Or at least a lobbyist? Because I’d like to propose a new law that states that all “you can’t go topless” rules be null and void if nipple tattoos are in play. Thanks to one of the many sexy Austrians on BME, Christiana, for sending this our way.

  • Alright, I can do that.

    This is actually a Dropkick Murphy’s quote (from “The Outcast”), rather than a specific invitation. Tattoo done by Jay at Passage in Toronto, Canada.

    If they can make a law
    Then I can break a law
    If I can break a law
    Will the law break me?

  • Chicks with big boobs and guns!

    Continuing in the requested trend of big boobed chicks with guns (and here’s another set), let me present a patch by Dominick at Starlight Tattoo…

    I know this must seem like it’s starting to be Joy Rumore‘s photoblog, but she does seem to keep on doing post-able art… Here’s what Peck just had her apply to his fingers. We’ll see how it heals though, it’s not an easy location.
