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.

    So I know I shouldn’t be out drinking, what with the recent surgery, and opiates in my system and all, but I decided to hop a commuter flight out to Vancouver and drink at some random bar, and who do I bump into in the washroom but motorcycle daredevil Gregory. I got him to show off his amazing bodysuit by Steve Moore at Sacred Heart in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in return for the promise that I’d photoshop the urinal out of the photo.

    (Yes, of course I’m kidding, other than that I think that’s a great backpiece).

    Maxwell Brand (seen here a couple times before) writes of his tattoo based on a ModBlog feature from June 5th, 2006 (a difficult choice due to the blown out lighting and unusual proportions),

    “My friend Sean Herman of All or Nothing Tattoo was going to tattoo me, but I hadn’t come up with something to get. I flipped through pages of ModBlog pics until I found this gorgeous girl. Then, Sean tattooed her on me. So, it should probably be a ModBlog feature itself…. haha.”

    Maxwell, I agree entirely that I need to post this. I love meta-references and meta-jokes, so this is definitely getting modblogged! I wonder what BreedTheCancer (the person whose portrait makes up the tattoo) will think when she finds out (assuming she doesn’t know already) about the tattoo — and being featured a second time in this unusual way.

    I can guess what AnAngelScreams‘s passion is (it even has an IAM forum) — as tattooed by Erich Foster at Rise Above Tattoos in Buffalo, NY…

    Both one of the most beautiful people on IAM, and the owner of one of the most pervy usernames (and a cool custom layout), ookumbubbleoo, used to have an inverted nipple (the left one, if you’re wondering), but not any more due to piercing by Jason King at Psycho Tattoo in Marietta, GA. You may recognize the tattoo from the earlier post about the delayed inflamation after Burning Man.

    I wish I had a big clear bathtub! Well, mostly I wish I had a big bathtub. OK, primarily I wish I had a big bathtub with a pretty girl stitting on its rim. This is from a photoshoot that Cyberesque did at the Kitkat Club in Berlin. Tattoos by Blue Pearl in Smeermaas, Belgium.
