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.

    Art of the Dead

    A few months ago I posted about a show taking place in October that was looking for art from tattoo artists to put up for auction.  The purpose of the auction is to raise money for a local Toronto charity that provides free and accessible art programs to children.  Well, a large number of artist heeded the call, and I was able to get a few pictures to share with you of some of the artwork that will be on display this weekend.

    The show itself is being put on by the boys from Seven Crowns Tattoo in Toronto, so if you’re in town this weekend, you should swing on by.  The show is one night only, and admission is free.

    You can get the rest of the details about the show by going here.

    Now, of course, if you’re going to be bidding on some art, it helps if you know what it is you’re bidding on.  Well just click the read more button to see a few samples from the many talented artists from Canada and around the world.

    I’ll be there as well, so if you end up coming, make sure to stop by and say hi.

  • Hole Hearted

    Do you know how many songs have been written about the heart?  Way too many.  Yet for some reason, after seeing this picture from the hearts and love tattoo gallery, I had that Extreme song stuck in my head.  So enjoy the earworm, along with this tattoo by Jamie Henderson from Forsaken Ink in Bloomburg, NY.

    I like how the edges make the hole look like it was cracked open, as opposed to a clean cut, or the flesh being pulled back.

    What do you think?  Is “Hole Hearted” the song you think of when the subject of songs about the heart come up?

  • Boob or Nullo?

    Well, if you take a look at the tags, you’ll already know the answer.  Long time BME contributor Erebli sent in pictures from his latest project, in which he found a way to give himself a boob job.

    For obvious reasons, you’ll have to keep reading to see the unedited version.

    For those unfamiliar with Erebli’s works, you can see other examples of them here and here, as well as in his own BME gallery.  This particular image came from the temporary male nullo gallery, along with the rest of the images in the series.

    I know that Erebli reads ModBlog, so I’m hoping he’ll be around to answer questions like he has in the past.  His art has become the benchmark for CBT, and he is always striving to push the limits of what his body can endure.  In fact, he has yet to suffer any permanent damage from any of his modifications, including the time he barbecued his genitals.

    I will ask that people be respectful with their comments, as BME is not just a site for piercings and tattoos, but all forms of body modification.

    Today’s Halloween inspired pic comes from BME’s resident Hanson expert, IAM: ilovehanson, who you might recall had her knuckles tattooed in tribute to the band.  Ilovehanson, and her boyfriend IAM: Adrian, recently attended the Lawrence KS, zombie walk, and from the pictures it looks like they had a great time amongst the walking dead.

    You can check out another picture of Adrian in the big nostril gallery.

    Keep sending in those Halloween pictures.  We’re less than 20 days away from the best holiday of the year!

  • The Rocketeer

    Space, the final frontier.  At some point in time in our lives we dream of the stars.  Whether it is to find meaning in their patters, or to look for life beyond this world, or simply out of a childhood love of wanting to soar through space.  Of course, the reality is, not too many of us will be able to fly in outer space, our children maybe, but not us.  Around the world private firms are racing to create commercial space flight vehicles, to cater to the insanely rich who get to live out their dreams.  Yet from every design I’ve seen, not a single one is as cool as this rocket.

    The rocketeer responsible for this retro-inspired rocket is none other than Alie K (IAM: Alouicious).  Alie recently submitted a number of her works to the galleries, so if you get a chance, head on over and check them out.  This rocket in particular came from the old school tattoo gallery.
