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.

  • Pinups you say?

    As you may know, I’m running a be the next BMEgirl contest right now. Basically it involves finding the best pinups on IAM, converting them into cartoons, and making shirts (and maybe stickers to). Anyway, in “celebration” of that, I wanted to share with you a few pinup tattoos. Let’s start with this one called “My Wife” by Jime Litwalk at ES Kustoms in Troy, MI.

    Or how about this realistic style sexy bathing beauty by Matt at Lost Highway in Belgium.

    Finally, I also quite like this Vargas Girl or bomber art piece by the legendary Henry Goldfield at Goldfield’s Tattoo in San Francisco, CA.

    Oh, and please everyone, do pass on the BMEgirl contest to anyone you think should give it a try!

    Does the curse of the matching tattoo apply to friends? I don’t think so. This is Amywho and Busichild who were tattooed by Drat at Tigerlily Tattoos in Portland, Oregon.

    Thanks so much to IAM:lonely pancake for this lovely photo. Her tattoo is by by Sacha at Tin Tin Tattoos in Paris. Oh and so no one gets mad at me, that’s her quote not mine.

    “I’m a student in a fashion design school, and I work part time for a french lady clothing company… Years ago I use to be interested by fashion, but as I’m into it all day everyday, I’m getting so bored of it! From the inside things are so different than what I expected them to be. It’s so superficial and can’t stand talking about fashion and clothes any more! It’s less and less important to me…”

    I have in the past mentioned Alf tattoos, but can I just shout out a what the fuck about this one? The tattoo is by Matt Griffith, at Wicked Sensations in Chillicothe, OH.

    “I tattooed a set of flowers on a girl’s belly that I think you need to see,” he tells me. Is it any wonder with me writing entries like this that I’ve had no offers since my break-up? Ha. Stay away, sexually deprived dudes on the rebound are bad news. Oh, and click here for a tattoo closeup.
