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.

    Deep chest piercings are one of those rare kinds of piercings that are just staggering to look at.  The sheer intensity of the piercing alone is puts it in the realm of suspensions and other things that push the limits of a person.  I don’t have any information about these piercings, so I can’t tell you if they’re intended to last for any length of time or not, but the piercing process alone is something to be commended for.  These particular piercings were done at Sacred Art Body Piercing in Newcastle.

    Gabor, the minimalist scarification artist/tattoo artist from Budapest has done it again with a nice looking hand scar. What’s great about Gabor is that his unique designs embrace a minimalistic abstract style of art, both in terms of design and execution.

    I’m really digging this typographic/abstract foot piece by James Dean Pruitt from Alliance Tattoo Lounge in Yuma, AZ.  The ink blurs give it an almost stenciled feel to it, with the paint being smeared as the stencil was removed.

    It’s time for another video from the Brisbane leg of the BME World Tour.  The past two videos have been from from Wild at Heart, and this one featuring Aaron Bond brings the count to three.  Aaron talks about both his inspirations, as well as his thoughts as a tattooist who splits his time between Australia and Sweden.

    To check out the video, just keep on reading.

    One of the best things anyone can do during the summer is head out into the wilderness, set up a tent, and get away from the world for a while.  For some it’s about getting away from the hustle and bustle of every day life, others take the time to commune with nature, and for a good number of people, it’s a chance to get together with some friends and do some bonding.  For these guys, it’s definitely a bonding experience.  Come rain or shine, these three will always have something to remember their days spent camping in the woods.

    And here’s a close-up of the tattoo by Alexey Zamotevsky from Kipod Tattoo, in Tel Aviv.
