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.

    Shirts! Shirts Everywhere!

    We’ve got some big news about the BMEShop today!  The t-shirt printer is working again, which means that the BMEShop is now back in stock with over 75 designs.  On top of that, expect to see over 100 more added in the coming weeks!

    Here’s some of the ones that are now back in stock:

    The list goes on and on, so head on over to the apparel gallery to see them all!

    Because there have been so many designs in the past, getting them all ready to be printed is going to take some time.  So if you don’t see your favorite shirt listed, send the shop and e-mail with your requests so we can get that one back in stock right away!  Can’t remember the older designs?  Check out the BME Wiki page!

    In more shop news, we’ve had some requests for cheaper international shipping.  So we’re going to be running a trial on “International First Class Mail”.  Keep in mind that this cheaper option will not come with a tracking number, and may take up to 4-6 weeks to arrive.  Due to the nature of this shipment, missing packages will not be the responsibility of the BMEShop.  So keep this in mind if you wish to try out the cheaper shipping options.

    When it comes to tattoos on ModBlog, generally you don’t see incomplete works.  Yet this dotwork arm by Peter Madsen from Meatshop Tattoo in Copenhagen is too incredible not to feature.

    Arachnophobes beware, this post is going to freak you out.

    So it’s been a long time since the name Emilio Gonzalez has appeared on ModBlog, which is a shame because he is still one of the finest body modifications working today.  And just to prove it, here’s a healed look at one of his more recent implants.

    Yep, that’s a spider.  Enjoy the nightmare fuel that brings you.  Would this be a bad time to bring up the urban myth of the spider laying eggs in a person’s ear, only to have them hatch and work their way out.  Maybe this one went in, instead of out.

    For those looking to have work done by Emilio, you can reach him at his shop, Mithros Tattoo in Caracas, Venezuela.

    I really should have come up with a better title for this, but I was left pretty speechless after looking at it.  Just when I thought I knew all of the artists from Tattoo Temple, another shows up and proves once again that the temple is the place to go if you want a tattoo that looks like it was painted on with a calligraphy brush.
