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 is a “STUPID” tattoo

    …But will he regret it? By Derick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos at Winter Haven, FL.

    Sorry, I do not have an answer right now to your “why” questions.

    EDIT: I just got the following note to share:

    He had been thinking of this tattoo for two years and finally did it… Derrick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos here in Winterhaven, FL said — and I quote — “if you’re stupid enough to do that, I will do it for free”, and then it was all done. There were thirteen people in the booth with camera phones, digital cameras… it was crazy! People were calling friends saying “dude, you won’t believe this…” It was the best… he has more crazy facial and head tattoos coming including “something” down the side of his nose and a bullet hole on the back of his head. Everywhere we go people try washing it off, and take pictures with their phones to send to friends! It’s great!

    Anyway, I posted loads of stuff today here so don’t be mad if I take tomorrow off (from ModBlog). That said, I’m working on adding some guest bloggers here, so maybe there’ll be posts other than my bursts of rambling and random pictures soon.

    Check out these great shots of Nikkibunny and ColdSweat at the top of Beinn Ghobhlach (“a 2,100 foot baby mountain in the Highlands of Scotland”). Nikkibunny says it was a wonderful warm day, great for a swim, but asked me to point out that in Coldsweat’s defence (right photo), it was a bit chilly at the top of the mountain.

  • “Love of Martial Arts” Tattoo

    This isn’t Tod’s first tattoo, but it is his first in twenty years — he got his first one on his eighteenth birthday, and got this one on his thirty-eighth. Since his first he’s been involved with martial arts for over fifteen years, and this tattoo (his own design) is the symbol he plans on teaching under.

    Included are the various Martial Arts and ideals that he’s studied — including full contact stick-fighting (Kali-Underground format) and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the last two years. The helmet he’s wearing here is his only real piece of protective equiptment for stickfighting combat!

    I kind of think I may be double posting this, but it’s still in my “to post on ModBlog” folder, so let me share with you one of my favorite BME logo tattoos, one where there wearer has taken a nice artistic license with that design.
