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.

  • On the hunt

    We’ve seen examples of Gabor‘s minimalistic style a few times here, but I think this piece in particular really showcases his talents.  When it comes to simplicity in art, you can’t get much simpler than cave paintings and petroglyphs.

    However, to call this simple is a vast understatement.  Cave paintings have been around for tens of thousands of years, and as art has progressed they have remained, permanently etched into the surface of the earth.  Much like how this tattoo is permanently etched into this person.  Gabor’s works have always had an element of the primal to them, and this piece brings it to the forefront.  I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.

  • Pulling on the heart strings

    It’s always fun to see just how creative piercers can get when given some needles and ribbon.  This time is no exception.  While we’ve seen similar couple corsets before, I think this is the first I’ve seen that not only successfully takes on the shape of a heart, but also incorporates the person in back’s hand (as you can see at the bottom of the photo).

    Unfortunately I have to make yet another announcement today about the passing of another IAM member.  Travis (IAM: lot_kid) passed away on May 30th after being struck by a car.  We’re all saddened to hear of the loss of another member of our community, and our thoughts are with his family and friends.

  • Sleepless in Seattle

    I think it’s a safe assumption that Pessimisaurus really loves Seattle.

    I like that Andrea Ottlewski chose to go with a non-traditional skyline for this tattoo, instead choosing to highlight the natural aspects of the Pacific Northwest as well as the urban.

  • Everything happens for a reason

    “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” – Marilyn Monroe
