I love getting photos of tattooed people. I prefer them to be good tattoos, but honestly, almost without exception I think tattoos, good or bad, make a person look better. Try and think about the people below without the tattoos, and while I’m sure they’d still look good, there’d be something important missing. When I was a little kid, I drew on myself — I’ve never liked the appearance of plainskin.


Credits, left to right: 1. Tribal by Mike at Premiere in Brooklyn, and ankh by Ink Link in Charlotte, NC, 2. Kelly’s very nice carnation tattoo by Jay at Addictive in London, Ontario, and 3. Ava’s wonderful work by Yann at Your meat is mine in Paris, France.

From the ModBlog email inbox:
I’m a tattoo apprentice at “The Laughing Buddha Tattoo and Body Piercing.” We put a piece in my fucking pit the other day — I’m from that county in Oklahoma, and went to jail there for some bull-shit, so the F.T.C. stands for “Fuck That County.”
Thanks Shaun! Anyone else got a good story or tattoo? Send it in.

Most of the pictures on BME of piercings are relatively documentary in nature — they’re shots of the piercing, rather than the person bearing it. But still, every once in a while folks send me photos that are more portraits of them than portraits of their body modifications. Here’s a few recent examples:



From left to right, here are the credits: 1. “Sensual Sorcery’s” piercings by Nick at Tribal Urge in Southsea, 2. Adry in Hungary’s navel piercing, 3. “Acid Angel” from Poland’s navel piercing, and 4. “Super Kug” in Germany also has a navel piercing.

This is a very funny nipple piercing photo, and could probably use a caption.

Check out this pretty extreme tattoo removal (left to right: just getting starting, removal procedure completed, healed) by Castillo in Venezuela… I’ve never wanted a tattoo removed that badly personally, so I think if it was me in the client’s position, I’d probably go for a tattoo coverup instead.

They call him Woolslave.
PS. To be clear, I’m not posting this for ridicule or as a joke. I’m posting it because it’s truly fascinating to me both the range of people’s fetishes, and how specific they are…

Check out this neat piercing done by Steve Filpansick over at Consolidated Ink and Steel in Flint, Michigan. As I’ve mentioned before, I am always very happy to see people with atypical bodies go out and customize them even more than biology already did for them!

You’ll swim in the sweat of a million orgies
You’ll live in a fire as sweet as hell
When you give your soul to the rays of the mortal sun
Or give your lips to the kiss of the scorpion

Tina Maria just joined IAM so I thought it might be a good time to mention her amateur site babeink.com. Check her out either there or on BME (the first link). You can never have enough tattooed and pierced pinups!

For helping me keep up on my promise to try and start posting guys as well as girls for you to ogle and admire, thanks to Todd for sending in this shot of his tattoo by Sailor Woody in Toledo, OH.

I quite like the concept behind IAM:MexDavid’s latest tattoo, of skeletal a hand coming up from the ground and wrapping around his ankle (and it probably looks funny in shoes). The tattoo was done by Lalo Silva at Evolution in Mexico City.

Obviously these are very adult photos, so don’t click them if you don’t have curiosity about what it looks like for a man with balls but an amputated penis to blow his load… The photos are real (in that they captured what was there), but my personal take is that you’re not seeing quite what you think you are (think glue + glans modification), although I admit I’m not sure.

He’d put a cap in your sinning ass, you blaspheming bastards!
…Thanks to Mike Haines of Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, NY for sending me this well-armed and definitely “Vengeful God” Jesus with a gun tattoo (sorry it’s not the best picture):

Here’s a kitty make-up scene by Master Liam and Suicide Kitty for sending in this series of photos from a performance they put on (more will be on BME soon) of what’s kind of a mix between Cats (The Musical), Chinese Medicine, and BME culture…

Assuming the picture is what I think it is (a crucifixion style hand piercing going from the back of the hand all the way through to the palm), this is a pretty over the top intense modification. Thanks to Genio at Dildo Body Piercing (yes) in Greece for sending it our way.

This photo from Chris in Scotland of his DIY tongue splitting made me wonder… if a split tongue meets up with a regular single tongue, is it a three way?
