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.

  • Pinups you say?

    As you may know, I’m running a be the next BMEgirl contest right now. Basically it involves finding the best pinups on IAM, converting them into cartoons, and making shirts (and maybe stickers to). Anyway, in “celebration” of that, I wanted to share with you a few pinup tattoos. Let’s start with this one called “My Wife” by Jime Litwalk at ES Kustoms in Troy, MI.

    Or how about this realistic style sexy bathing beauty by Matt at Lost Highway in Belgium.

    Finally, I also quite like this Vargas Girl or bomber art piece by the legendary Henry Goldfield at Goldfield’s Tattoo in San Francisco, CA.

    Oh, and please everyone, do pass on the BMEgirl contest to anyone you think should give it a try!

    This is a detox suspension pull c/o Kalie at The Conference Room in Honolulu… I really love the photo, it’s great, and those are some really nice looking traditional tattoos.

    This is how they make their own dinner in Estonia when they forget to go shopping. Don’t worry, this is just the left nut. Not saying that the right one isn’t soon out as well, but I’m trying to give the more sensitive readers a glimmer of hope.

    Does the curse of the matching tattoo apply to friends? I don’t think so. This is Amywho and Busichild who were tattooed by Drat at Tigerlily Tattoos in Portland, Oregon.

  • “I hate fashion”

    Thanks so much to IAM:lonely pancake for this lovely photo. Her tattoo is by by Sacha at Tin Tin Tattoos in Paris. Oh and so no one gets mad at me, that’s her quote not mine.

    “I’m a student in a fashion design school, and I work part time for a french lady clothing company… Years ago I use to be interested by fashion, but as I’m into it all day everyday, I’m getting so bored of it! From the inside things are so different than what I expected them to be. It’s so superficial and can’t stand talking about fashion and clothes any more! It’s less and less important to me…”
