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.

  • Valentine’s Specials at Sacred Tattoo

    Written by

    Hey, our friends at Sacred Tattoo are practically giving away romantic/bitter/vaguely erotic (?!) tattoos tomorrow! Valentine’s Day + crippling recession = deals.

    That is correct! For one day only, Sacred Tattoo is offering a deal that is too good to be true. We created a special set of flash with a love theme that starts at $20! The designs are traditional, funky, perverted, and bitter. (Brass knuckles that says “Love Hurts,” heart-shaped skull & crossbones, and even a “Thinking of you” condom tattoo.

    We will also be doing name tattoos starting at 20 bucks!!!

    This will be first come, first served so be sure to come early. The shop opens at noon and closes at 8pm. Some restrictions apply. Feel free to give the shop a call with any questions.

    I swear, the scarification submissions lately have just been an absolute embarrassment of riches, and this shot of Sophie by Collin J. Rae, featuring a scar by the third-most-famous Australian ever, Wayde Dunn, is certainly no exception. Also, it’s a heart! Like for Valentine’s Day! See? Timely.

    And here we have blade-bearing Sete374, nicely captured by Nuno Horta, with tattoo work by Cesar at Para Sempre Tattoos in Porto, Portugal, and a score to settle, ostensibly, with Josh.

    The rubber king of Williamsburgh, xPUREx, sends in this recent cutting out of his very own Pure Body Arts studio in Brooklyn, New York. And, much like Ryan Ouellette yesterday, he will also be at the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts convention from February 27 to March 1, and wouldn’t you know it? He just had a cancellation, and is available all day on the Friday. Visit him on IAM or at PureBodyArts.com to set up an appointment.

    This handsome (and vaguely cyberpunky?) shot comes from Gibi Body Art in Brasilia, Brazil. I think they got his good side.
