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.

    I’m sitting on a pile of tattoo photos that I wanted to post and I figured instead of spreading them out over a couple days, I’d do a nice big fat tattoo post. Hope you guys like it.

    The first piece is by Matt Geiogamah of Club Tattoo in Tempe, AZ.

    Now you know I can’t resist posting yet another Star Wars inspired tattoo. I’ll let you guys guess who this is supposed to be. Credit for the work goes to Leo Rojas Valenzuela out of Real Tattoo in Providencia, Santiago, Chile.

    For a second I thought this was another submission coming in from Brasil and I was about to catch the next plane out of chilly LA and join in on the fun. Apparently though dadilydoo took these photos in Malmo, Sweden and the suspensions were put on by the Concrete Jungle Tribe. Check out their gallery as they’ve been sending in tons of killer suspension photos.

    Evan sent in some photos of his sleeve that’s currently in progress. I figured after last weeks debacle I’d post a Star Wars tattoo that we can all get behind. This lovely battle scene is by Jim Warf of Rouge Elephant in Moreno Valley, California. Can’t wait to see it when it’s finished!

  • Vimby Video – Norm AWR MSK

    One of the names that popped up in the interview requests was Norm so it was great timing that his Vimby video just surfaced. I figured I’d post it, like I do with all of Vimby’s Tattooer Videos over here on Modblog to tied you over until BME can do it’s own interview with him. Norm’s script work has to be some of my favorite lettering out there. He’s developed a very beautiful style which gives a whole new meaning to black and grey lettering. He tattooed the palm of my hand a month ago which I’ve included after the jump.

    You can check out more on his myspace or at Spotlight Tattoo in person here in Hollywood, California.


    VIMBY – Norm MSK-AWR

    It’s not the best quality photo since I took it with my iPhone but like I said, his script is really beautiful. There is something elegant yet still jailhouse about it. The “Norm” on his palm and the “LA” on my wrist are both by Jack Rudy of Good Time Charlie’s TattooLand

    This is a shot from an upcoming suspension documentary. The lovely lady all curled up for us is Star and apparently the folks who helped get get there were Circle23, Philly Chris,  John j, Danelle j, and  Pyrogen. Hopefully they’ll keep us updated on when the documentary is released and then we’ll pass that info on to you.
