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.

  • NYC, here I come!

    There are a lot of reasons I’m headed to New York, some business, some pleasure. I’ll be there from tomorrow night until Friday… got myself a nice little hotel next to Central Park so if I get bored I can go for a walk and get mugged or get a bj from a hobo or something. Anyway, part of the reason I’m going has to do with the photos below of Charlotte Bell and Bella Vendetta (pictures by Bob Coulter).

    You decide whether this falls into the pleasure or business category.

    Anyway, I’ll try and keep the blog updated while I’m gone, but no promises.

    OK, it’s all cleaned up in this photo. Thanks Sara for showing us there actually is fun to be had in Manitoba, Canada… A province currently fighting to outlaw scarification by professionals — so politicians, be proud of yourself — you’ve just guaranteed that a whole lot more home cutting is going to happen. Was that really your wish? Get a clue, old dudes.

    Now, I’m not going to say anything bad about this Miller Time tattie, because it’s just begun…

    …but I did get a kick out of this Coors Attack tattoo done by Dan Henk (AKA IAM:Deadguy, currently working at PURE in Brooklyn) at the Inkslinger’s Ball.
