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.

    Browsing the newest images uploaded to BME is always a treat.  Especially when I get to see a new piece uploaded by Fabrizio Divari.

    Looking through his gallery on BME you’ll find quite a few pieces like this.  The coloring of the sky and ocean looks painted on, rather than tattooed, and the detail in the ship’s rigging is incredible.  I’m actually at a bit of a loss for words when looking at it, it’s that beautiful.

    Keep submitting those photos ModBlog readers, there’s a lot of wonderful work out there that I’d love to see shared with the world.

  • Much ado about Mucha

    Several months ago we featured a story of art thievery that happened to include a backpiece that included a very well done Mucha tattoo.

    While browsing through the galleries last night I stumbled upon this image submitted by md373…

    Mucha - The Blonde

    I’d have to say, given the placement on the body, the artist did a great job manipulating a wide Mucha piece to fit on the recipient’s ribs.

    You can see this image, as well as the step-by-step photos of the art being created in our tattoo galleries.

    Also, if you have a story, image, or just something you think would be great to see on ModBlog, feel free to send an e-mail my way.

  • Could this really be the “World’s First Human Centipede Tattoo?”

    This tattoo claims to be the “The World’s First Human Centipede Tattoo”, and I am tempted to believe it. Has anyone else gotten a tattoo inspired by the, not really a hit, movie “The Human Centipede“? If so let me know, we can check up on dates, cross check references and determine once and for all if this tattoo by  Jimmy Knuckles at Shaman Modifications in Austin is rightfully declared the world’s first “Human Centipede” tattoo!

  • Jamie’s 15 minutes

    Most of you modblog regulars remember Jamie from the recent post showing the gaping wound in her arm being fingered. Well, aside from her interest in creating new orifices to fondle, she’s also fond of body modification history, as she made evident with her quick and flawless answers to my trivia questions.

    As the winner of the trivia, she get’s another 15 minutes of modblog fame. So without any further ado, here’s Jamie!

    For several more pictures and some words from jamie, Keep on keeping on.

    I’m Jamie Mayhem. I’m part of the suspension team called Ritual Arisings, we’re based out of the Detroit, MI area. I’m also into performance art and modeling. Turn-ons include- boys and girls with lots of mods, latex clothing, medical devices, zombies, riot grrrls, and people that look good covered in blood.

    Most of my tattoos were done by Chris McNeill, who now owns Rebel City Tattoo in Cleveland, OH.

    Some of the photos here are suspension pics, some are modeling pics that showed some of my ink. The forearm suspension is from Dallas SusCon, it’s what led to the pic of the hole in my arm that was recently Modblogged. The tandem suspension is with BIOHAZARD.

    It’s been several years since I was in Israel but after viewing the massive amount of photos submitted to BME by Kipod Tattoo Studio in Tel Aviv, I have to say, I hope I get back there! And to Michael, just one of the talented tattooists at this studio, I say this, you’re on notice buddy! If I get back to Israel, I’m coming to see you!

    One more after the jump, just because.
