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.

  • Necro-Ear

    The result of getting your buddy who learned to pierce by “watching videos” to work on you in his kitchen… is that you’ll eventually end up getting yourself repaired by someone who is actually based out of a reputable studio. The famous and notorious “Autoclave Cookbook” (this really does exist) aside, you should not be able to cook a proper supper in a body modification studio. This ear repair was done by Papacho Body Art and Christian Moron of 316 Tattoo Studio in Caracas, Venezuela. I will never get used to looking at necrotized ears. That is only permissable if you are a zombie or otherwise a member of the undead — and even then it’s completely undesirable.

    I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen a picture of Rachie wearing black or covered in dirt.  So to see her out in the sun, wearing a white shirt, it’s definitely worthy of a BMEGirls post.

  • Skull Skarr, Healed and Fresh

    This nice even Day of the Dead style skull scar is now a year and a half old, after being cut at Skin of Steel in Toulon, France. I’m also including a picture of it fresh, because as you may have noticed there are lines of different weights. When I first saw scarmasters using the very thin “shading” type lines I was dubious as to the effect they’d have — I thought they’d likely fade completely — but as you can see they are quite effective and carry into the future surprisingly well.

  • Quick Tongue Healing

    If any part of the body has mutant healing factor, it’s the tongue. I don’t think there’s any other part of the body you can sever in half like this and have it looking so healthy a week later… And that’s what you’ve got here, on the left a tongue freshly split at On Edge in the Hague (onedge.nl) — beautifully sutured as well — and on the right, seven days of healing and the sutures are out and the tongue looks just beautiful. I’m sure they’ll round out a bit, but this person has been quite lucky with how pointy their tips are — very snakelike!

    Admittedly there are a lot of stupid forehead tattoos out there — Oddee posted a list of their “15 stupidest” a while back — and I’m sure many of you remember the old “STUPID” forehead tattoo from years ago and that tattoo is the very first thing I thought of when Pip showed me this idiotic forehead brand of stupidity… Getting “racist” tattooed on your forehead is pretty much the same thing as writing “small minded” across it. It’s embarrassing. I feel incredibly sorry for this guy and anyone who has to be seen with him. Yikes. Good example of someone trying to look tough, but just coming off looking like a moron.
