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.

    #Let’s talk about all the good things you want tattooed on your (pause…) body#

    Everyone likes words don’t they! I’ve got a couple of favourites myself: Slippery is one them, bulbous is pretty high up on the list too, as are artichoke, crumbs, flaccid, tubular, shazam (is a word) and shuffle to name but a few..

    I could go on but I really shouldn’t, I can’t afford to get too excited at my ripe old age and none of them appear in the following set of photos anyway.

    Life is ace!

    The last in this series isn’t strictly text, ok it’s not text at all but I though it was quite cute.

    Whilst James was employed as an EMT he managed to smuggle his wife into the hospital he was working at, perform an EKG on her, secrete the graph paper in a hollowed out Ohmeda 4700 OxyCap Pulse Oximeter Monitor (he’d planned this months in advance, obviously) then vanish like a pair of wrinkly ninjas before anybody noticed..

    Me and my heart went boom, boom titty boom titty boom titty boom, when I found you!

    This beautiful dedication tattoo is by Jason Stephan, Hart and Huntington Tattoo (Orlando shop). Again, click for a closer look..

    And lastly it’s Josh Justin, who looks pretty pleased with himself after a successful prom and a spot of automobile vandalism.

    Josh Justin, as much as we appreciate the free advertising I don’t think that sort of reckless behaviour’s going to do us any favours.
