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 am occasionally of a mixed opinion on microdermals when they mimic piercings. For example, when I see cheek “piercings” that are done with microdermals, the sensible part of my brain says, “hey, what a great idea, that’s a lot safer and less trouble”, but the self-righteous part of me says, “you fucking faker!” …But then I see this microdermal cheek project by Joeltron (joeltron.com, firstblood.com.au), and everything’s all right and the Civil War in my head is officially in a state of truce. The neuroruins of my bombed-out brain officially thanks you.

  • A Moment in Zero Gravity

    Christiane and Havve (Wings of Desire/Pain Solution) are in Japan giving workshops and helping spread their expertise as always, and Christiane posted this amazing photo from a suspension demonstration at Vanilla Gallery in Tokyo last night. A beautiful and technically advanced example of the cutting edge rigging they’re known for — I really feel like this captures some space station art moment that should only be possible in the absence of the Earth’s damning gravity.

    I posted this fresh scar about 2 weeks ago, and Morbid from Street Tattoo in Warsaw was quick to send in a follow-up.  I’m not 100% sure of the time between each photo, but it looks to be a more then two weeks, although not much more.  In any case, it’s always nice to see how scars can change over the course of healing.  Hopefully he’ll send in some more photos further down the line.

    I’ll save you guys the usual spiel about how much I love the artists at Tattoo Temple and just skip right to this amazing Bruce Lee piece by Wang (with artwork by Jamie).

  • I’ve got spiders under my skin! Yeeaaarghhh!!!

    The last spider implant I posted from Emilio Gonzalez (mithostattoo.com or emilio.gonzalez.3511 on Facebook) was in Marilyn’s forehead (who he also did badass black eyeballs on) and surprisingly subtle, but this one on the back of a hand really pops out. It would be such enormous fun hanging out at bars, telling drunks about how you got bit by a spider, and being, like, “Can you look at this for me? Do you think I should go to the hospital?” — maybe flex your hand a bit so it looks like it’s struggling under the skin. Good times.
