Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

One of my perennial favorite modified people is Patrick from Denmark (featured previously), and I’ve greatly enjoyed watching his visage evolve as it improves and becomes more distinguished and defined with every iteration. Most recently he’s had a gorgeous set of biomechanical sideburns added (his body already has a large number of tattoos in this theme) and cheek cuttings.

In truth, this was done by a vet for ID purposes, but Yoshi is very proud of it and thinks it makes him look tough. All the other cats are scared of him now because he told them he got it in the pound, and they think he’s probably on catnip again.

Along with a mini-image update (mostly stuff in the members section, really), I’ve posted an interview with the very talented DJ Minor. Click through below to read the interview, and return here to comment (see what I mean about the thizz face, haha).

I got this wonderful letter from Isabel (click the photos to enlarge) –
Hello ModBlog,
Thanks for all the great images and stories and for updating them so often. It’s always a fun place to visit.
In June 2000, my husband and I quit our jobs, put our stuff in storage, and traveled around for almost nine months. We started in Indonesia and came home (grudgingly) after South Africa. In the process we visited Syria and fell in love with the people and culture. So much in fact that our daughter’s middle name is Damascus. While there, we saw several older women with the traditional face and hand tattoos. This beautiful lady was selling vegetables in a market and was kind enough to let us take her photo. Unfortunately, the new generation seems to have left the practice behind and they’re either covered up or very Western looking.
The other two shots are from our visit to a Batonga village in Tanzania. They welcomed us, showed us how they milk their cows and we got a few pictures. After this visit we went to a small bushman settlement and the only body mod we saw was a young kid with scars from a leopard attack. But that doesn’t seem to really qualify — wasn’t voluntary.
Hope you enjoy the pics as much as we love reliving the memories of all the beautiful people we met.
Best,
Isabel
