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.

  • And now your St. Paddy’s Day pinup

    I have so many Irish Pride tattoos on BME that I really should do an entry on them… But instead all these words link to different Irish tattoos on the site. Seem fair? Anyway, I’ve mentioned goofball SuperDirk here before, so let me share a couple more photos of him for the drunken holiday… which for me is about to begin! Phil and I went out and bought beer, green food coloring, and glasses…

    PS. Yes, even Irish Nazis and Irish Skinheads.

    Also, the comments system is getting very stressed by the load on this site, so I’m going to have to upgrade its engine soon. In the meantime, if you go to a subpage here with no comments listed, try pressing reload and they should appear. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Mexicans know how to get things done

    This immense mag is being used to lay in bulk ink by Esteban Sotelo at Studio 69 in Santiago de Queretaro, Mexico. For those wondering where that is, it’s about smack-dab-middle of the country (and quite far from where I used to live).

    This photo was sent to me by a reader from Warsaw, Poland, of (presumably) their Camaro tattoo. I can’t really pinpoint why, but I really find this super sexy… I don’t know if it’s because of growing up reading car magazines and thus associating pinups with cars, or just that I think oldschool Camaros are sexy? Either way, I like it even though it’s really not the kind of tattoo that I’d normally be into.

    This gorgeous white ink snowflake is by Timppa from Other Side Tattoo in Lahti, Finland (a rather snowy place I’m sure). This picture was taken a week after the first touch-up, and at least one more snowflake will be added still. Seriously, I wish more people would do these — and more artists would do them! Don’t go to just anyone though if you want something like this as white is notoriously hard to put in evenly, and very easy to contaminate.

    Spongebob squarepants on a motorcycle… Tattoo by Richie Richardson at Blue Horseshoe in Hampton, VA. It’s changed from the standard spongy rider picture, but part of me thinks this is stock art? Well, feel free to post the specifics if you know them and feel it’s important!
