Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

Most of Seth’s mods are self-done, but he got his forearm balls done last Sunday by Brian. They’re a series of five 1″ silicone domes (photos above by Ashlee Parry).
There’s still a bit of swelling around them, so they’ll likely “pop out” more as they heal.
You may have noticed we now have implant and microdermal categories you can browse through.
I tried to be thorough but it was quite a tedious task so if you notice any discrepancies, omissions or errors let me know, thanks.

Before my ability to host it disappeared, you may remember that on another blog I mentioned that on the 20th of December the folks at
Bizzart Studio in Jerusalem were hosting the first suspension ever in the Holy City “since Jesus”. I promised I’d let everyone know how it went, and Bar Hofesh writes,
“It went great — lots of people, and lots of energy that went beyond what we thought there would be. It is amazing to see how many people come to these events… We had over 150 people”
Congratulations, and hopefully they can have many more events.

Scott let me know about Martin and Bre’s “new year’s project” on Make in which they use a 25W engraving laser to do a “fingernail etching” using a computer controlled plotter-type device with their hand restrained inside it during the procedure which took just a few frightening but painless seconds. Over time, the “calendar” will grow off of their fingernails — “instead of checking off boxes, we clip off our nails”.
Now, maybe like me you’re saying that’s not really body modification (any more than hairstyles or nail painting is)… But really, there’s no reason that this same method couldn’t be used to do a scarification project on skin as well… I’d just want to be very, very certain the machine was tuned to the right power level!!!

One last set of photos before I go back to eating an enormous Christmas meal with Caitlin, and family…
As well as the show they did for Roks Club in the entry above, Apocalypse Party also arranged their own Halloween event called “Blood & Fire Halloween”, which Doggy admits was financially a bit of a failure, but was enormously satisfying on every other level and they had tons of fun — isn’t that always the truth though (don’t ask me how much money I lose every year on BMEfest!)? These photos are all by Dmitri Starchak I think .

Team Apokalypse Party did a Halloween Show at Roks Club — this is their “standard short show” which includes skewering, suspension, and fire. In these shots their suspending star is Staruha and the piercers are Elvira and Clockorange (she’s the one with the braids). I like the effect of the flaming skewers a lot! These photos were also taken by Sergio Enfermo.
