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 here we have the alleged “Pikku,” clearly disobeying doctors’ orders and making some silly face that will probably stick like this, but hey, at least we get to see—among many fine-lookin’ upper and lower lip piercings, of course—a nicely healed DIY tongue split, done over the course of a month and a half with nothing more than a piece of yarn. Somewhere in the distance, Richard Dean Anderson is standing on top of a mountain, staring blissfully into a glorious sunset, gently nodding his approval.

    Tattoo Hollywood, BME’s first tattoo convention, is coming to Los Angeles from August 21-23, featuring contests, prizes and some of the best artists from around the world! Click here for more information.

    This hellhole of a week is finally wrapping up, folks—we can forget all about goons with faces covered in stars, several thousand straight days of rain and whatever else was contributing to our collective misery the past five days and just enjoy the sun as summer rolls into town (for real, hopefully). And hey, as long as our mood is changing for the better, why not keep the good times coming with the heart-stompingly adorable show_pony37, showing off her DIY split tongue. What’s not to like?

    Good morning, ModBloggers! Let’s start the day with Russia’s own split-tongued Katya, ready for some desert combat, apparently. Something about shacking up on a sand dunes that makes a girl want to lick her lips, am I right? Eh? No? Not even close, huh? Well…nuts.

    Good morning, ModBloggers! Say hello to Corinne, who, really, just wanted to show off her split tongue, and was worried we wouldn’t be able to see it in all its glory. I think the view is just fine.

    End of the line, folks. Let’s wrap up this Tuesday with this nicely shot set of photos of a tongue-splitting procedure. Looks like good clean work all around, albeit with the use of what looks like Yunnan Baiyao to help stop the bleeding afterward, which, according to the Internets,

    has been extensively used and considered a sort of miracle drug for wounds, pain, and hemorrhage. Unlike Western pain drugs, it does not turn off pain centers in the brain, but instead facilitates circulation, bringing oxygen to the injury.

    […] By immediately activating blood circulation, it helps resolve bleeding, pain, and swelling. It heals oozing wounds and damaged blood vessels, while expelling pus and counteracting toxins.

    And you can even jog in it! As always, more photos after the jump.
