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.

    This is what happens when you let Brian Decker take a scalpel to skin with heavy blackwork.

    Here’s what Brian has to say about the pieces.

    To clarify, these pieces were a bit of an experiment with scarification over tattooing in two sessions. The “MY” on both sides was lined and filled with the ESU. The “PRIDE” and “HONOR” were lined with a scalpel and filled with a hyfrecator. You can see the hyfrecator work will need a touch-up session, and yielded no raised effect. The ESU removed the tattoo fully in one shot and keloided upward.

    Today is Rachel‘s birthday. She does a lot of work that goes unsung and I couldn’t ask for a better boss or friend. Rachel, I hope you have a great birthday and that you actually take a day to relax for a change. Thank you for all that you do! Happy birthday to the HBIC!

    It’s been a while since they’ve been in stock, but I’m happy to announce the BME Key Chains are back at the BMEShop!  You should grab one today, because these tend to sell out quick.  In other shop news, we’ve got a new supplier for the key chains, so if they do go out of stock, it won’t be years before they’re back in again.  Also, expect to see the return of the BME Belt Buckles in a few weeks!

    I’m not even going to look, but I’m sure there’s a tumblr for cute bearded dudes with tattoos and cats somewhere out there.  And if there isn’t, there should be.  It’d be much better than any Ryan Gosling one.

    The two in the photo are Joao_Caldara and his friend Gaia.

    Classical work of art transformed into a scar?  You know it has to be a Brian Decker piece.
