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.

  • A few more geeky tattoos

    Following up on BME’s extensive coverage of geek tattoos, here’s a little geek loving for you by Aric at Viva Tattoo in Rochester:

    “Bite me” tattoos aren’t that uncommon, but maybe this is the first “byte me” one I’ve seen… Hello? This is 1983 calling — I want my computer club t-shirt back! Thanks to Tim for sending this tattoo by Glenn Scott in Dayton, Ohio.

    Or how about a computeriffic sacred heart?

    This tattoo below (done at Last Rites) is on a whole group of people — the 1337 KR3W I suppose? I’m not sure if it’s tongue in cheek right now because part of me thinks that if you claim to be elite, you’re probably not. That said, I’m a dude with a ’74 Corvette with a license plate that reads L33T so don’t think I’m not in a glass house!

    I like this haxor tattoo the best though because it doesn’t take itself too seriously:

    That was done by Universoul Mutations in Cadillac, MI.

  • Brothers’ Tattoos

    Thanks to my friend Damir in Belgrade, Serbia (I love that BME has members all over the planet) for sending me these matching “bondage mermaid” tattoos (not quite what I’d normally except a brotherhood tattoo to be, but to each his own) that he did at his shop:

    Even though it’s the holidays and I think I probably deserve a break, I’ve tried to post lots of stuff to keep you amused. You got a big tattoo gallery today, a piercing shot, and even a couple suggestive entries of pretty girls. So no complaining! But if you do… Here’s who I’m sending your way.

  • Nightmare Before Christmas Tattoo Gallery

    By far the most popular movie tattoo theme, by a significant margin I’d say, is The Nightmare Before Christmas (search BME for terms like “nightmare christmas” or “skellington” to see lots more). Given that Jack’s journey into this holiday starts today, let me share some of the Nightmare Before Christmas tattoos that I’ve received over the past few years.

    You can click on any of the pictures below to zoom in. The last one is not the Pumpkin King, but the Drunken King — the day Jack Skellington decided to go Irish and take over St. Paddy’s Day instead. Anyway, if you have a Nightmare tattoo (or any tattoo), email me a high res copy to [email protected] (and get yourself a free BME membership in the process).

    I’ll try and post more Christmas and seasonal themed tattoos over the next few days.

  • I can see her spine!

    Thanks to Rahim (IAM:trexchomp) for these photos. I don’t know how it looks from other angles, but from the side that spine tattoo makes a great picture…
