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.

    Since I just posted about an Electronic Arts / EA gaming tattoo, I thought I ought to also mention this Konami tattoo. Shawn writes,

    "Ever since I was a young boy, I thought the Konami logo was one of the coolest symbols I had ever seen. The simplistic swipes and its meaning, 'little wave', were to me very stylistic and interesting to see. I'm in a band called Temp Sound Solutions, and as of now to this point, I've written five full albums of video game covers, a lot of them being from Konami games."

    "A few years back, I lost a good friend of mine who I was mainly in touch with over the Internet. We were friends for years and years. Another friend wrote a record called 'Konami' that we both adored and my friend's initials were 'S.S.', which I thought was very similar to the Konami logo. I got these tattoos to commemorate my friend's life and our bond of the love for music."

    Thanks to Erenee for sending in this picture of thirty-three stars on her head, applied by Adam at River City in Killeen, Texas over two hours… I hope she keeps her head shaved after it’s all healed up, because I think it looks amazing like this!

    Check out BME employee Phil Barbosa‘s new tattoo designed by IAM:killmylovekill and done here in La Paz, Mexico at Sadofilia. Click the dancing toes below to see a day old photo of it (sorry, it’s hard to get a good photo of a day old tattoo), and if you’d like to see the painting it’s based on, click here.

    Phil says to mention that his feet (well, the right one anyway) are still a bit messed up since the accident (which explains why blue robot is not as good a dancer as red robot). He did however clean his toenails!

    Just got this amusing email from Chris:

    This is a picture of me when I got Electronics Art tattoo back in March. The company paid for it and took some footage of it and me for possible use in a game at some later point but I haven't heard back from them since. No regrets though. I love gaming and I love EA games. They make some of my favorite racing games ever (NFSU and Burnout), so why not have a special place for them on my back?

    PS. More geek tattoos here.

    Have I mentioned here before how much I like bad girls? Phil knows this, so he put aside this tattoo for me today, by Matthew Ellis at Way Cool Uptown in Toronto (who if I recall correctly, I went to art school at York with over a decade ago).
