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 know a girl who is really heavily freckled, and one night, she revealed that, due to this terrible affliction, her dad affectionately(?) calls her “flyshits.” Because, you know, her freckles look like … fly shit. Apparently. This isn’t her wearing this tattoo, but I like to think she’d be traumatized by it nonetheless.

    I recently had the chance to speak with Sean Dowdell, the co-owner, alongside Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, of Club Tattoo, which has been a staple of Arizona body modification for nearly 15 years now. Since then, Dowdell has opened three more stores in Arizona, and is just over a month away from opening a massive 3,300-square-foot shop inside the Planet Hollywood casino in Las Vegas. Sean’s about as talented and motivated as they come, and has been around long enough to speak with some authority about the industry.

    Alie from TCB Tattoos in Toronto, Ontario, sent in this piece she did the other day on a client who wanted a word search filled with the names of his family members. Cute! We don’t have the list of names, but whoever can find the most reasonable words will WIN A PRIZE!*

    *The satisfaction of a job well done counts as a prize, right?

    Yes, yes, yesterday was very male-heavy here on ModBlog, I’ll admit it. Well, for those of you not always keen to run with the dick-’n-balls crowd, we have the lovely T-Lex, sporting a surface piercing on her wrist and really not much clothing at all. Shucks.
