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.

    I think my ex Rachel (who helps run BME’s business side), who’s a professional rally driver (among other exotic careers — for those of you in Atlanta, she’s at the NOPI Nationals this weekend showing her Lotus) would get a big kick out this tattoo. I initially thought it meant “will trade food and lodging for music” because I don’t pay very good attention and thought it was the head of a guitar, not drag racing lights! I love that this tattoo is also placed so it can be seen if he’s resting his arm on the open window. It was done by Tattoo Dave at Outer Image in New Bern, NC.

  • A collection of female pubic tattoos

    The “monsterworm” on the left is by Jethro Bijlaart at Mounty Zoo Tattoo in Bergen op Zoom, the Netherlands. The other two (the lock and the pubic Taz) are the work of Al Farber at Acid Works Tattoos in Mount Morris, MI.

    I’m not so sure that I find the specifics of any of them a big turn on for me personally (I’m 99% sure I’ve never jerked off to either Tremors or Taz cartoons), but I assume they are for the wearers and/or their partners. People (men and women both) get some funny things tattooed on and around their genitals (check out the galleries in BME/extreme if you’d like more).

    Jon says that seeing this tattoo makes him want to tattoo two black eyes on his hand in case they ever meet. Hitler humor is definitely playing with fire! Tattoo on Sarvas by Sarah D at Big Deluxe in Salt Lake City (who also tattooed his nine incher).

  • “Stryper Fan and Tattoo Freak”

    Tattoo by “Big Skip” at Double Eagle Tattoo in New Philadelphia, OH… This reminds me, yesterday I was asked how I would answer the “what are you going to do when you’re eighty and covered with tattoos?” question. I told them that to me, the question didn’t really make any sense, since that’s who I am. Why wouldn’t I still want to be me when I’m old? I think I’d want my tattoos even more the older I get!

    Anyway, this guy will always be a Stryper fan.
