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.

    These septum piercing photos were submitted by Nix. When I was moderating photos for BME last night, I found myself drawn to this first photo. I admit, it was the glitter eyeshadow that sucked me in! There is something about the photo that intrigues me. I think it may be the serene look on her face and that slight Mona Lisa smile.

    I think this photo would make a great print. In fact, I’d really like to hang it up on my wall. The lips really make the photo pop and I love the simplicity of just having the one septum piercing and nothing else. I hope you all enjoy these photos as much as I do.

  • Another case of BLATANT tattoo thievery

    Modblog has a history of calling bullshit on tattooist who blatantly rip off other peoples work and  use it as their own. In fact lots of you guys probably remember the modblog post from 2005 where Amina Munster’s chest piece by Tim Kern that was ripped off by another artist.

    That seemed like a pretty blatant rip off, even with the subtle changes that were made to the original design. However, it pales in comparison to this atrocity.

    When Cat Spencer came up with a beautiful Mucha inspired back piece for his lovely wife, Carla, she insisted on keeping the two shoulder blade pieces from her youth.  Well when a FAR less talented artist blatantly ripped off here design, he too incorporated Carla’s old shoulder pieces in his rendition!

    This is the original rendition on Carla’s back…

    …and this is the atrocious rip off of her same design, INCLUDING the old shoulder pieces.

    Thanks to Lish for submitting this story to me. If you have news, stories, or photos you feel would make for a good modblog post. Please do not hesitate to email them to [email protected]

    Around this time last year I entered my Lemmy is God tattoo into the Philly  radio station 1045′s band tattoo contest. For some reason, it did not win.

    Now this year my buddy Matt Clark, who you IAM folks more likely  know as Robin’s bitch, has entered his Motorhead War Pig hand tattoo in that same contest. If you would like to vote for this bad ass tribute to Motorhead, done by my friend Shlak please go here and do so now.

    PS: Robin is also taking part in this contest with her Green Day tattoo. Obviously, when faced with the decision which to feature Motorhead or Green Day, I made the right decision. That being said Robin is a kick ass chic, so I still advise you go here and vote for her tattoo as well!
