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.

    Shawn sent me this footage (from some point in 1988) of his old friend Jack Yount and included the following..

    “My first contribution to BME back in 1995 was a memorial article for my friend and mentor Jack Yount. The images that accompanied the article, as well as hundreds to be posted in following years to my own spcOnline site (currently offline), gave you a glimpse of Jack’s extraordinary modifications. This video, taken some years before we met, shows the start of his iconic transformation. It’s my hope however that you look past what Jack has done to his body and listen to the kindness and warmth in his voice.”

    If you don’t know what Addict‘s new tattoo (by Carly Montgomery of Soul Survivors Body Art in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is about, they say you need to Google “everybody has more sex than me” (warning: link has audio).

    And you thought the stone circle was the impressive thing to see at this Japanese (thanks Spring) observatory! Move closer after the break (that “tail” is a DIY project by the way), but as a point of trivia did you know that Japan has megalithic stone circle culture a la monuments like Stonehenge? This is a recreation of course, but ancient examples exist as well.

    Banana (of Extigma in Copiapo, Chile) sent in this great shot of a four-point lotus suspension off an old iron bridge in Caldera overlooking the ocean, a beautiful location that reminded me of the Navio Mara suspension posted earlier this month. Nice backpiece also!

    This very street-punk looking facial tattoo done in a combination of white and black tribal ink is on a friend in Moscow, Russia.
