Modblog must be having an international post day. First we had Henning from Denmark, then Nati from Costa Rica and now it’s Andre from Sweden who must be trying to compete with Babasom. Hopefully I can round out the rest of the day with more international submissions.
While there may be wrong—or, rather, less than ideal—reasons to commit to body modification sometimes, there isn’t really a “right” reason. For some people, it can be an intensely personal, serious and spiritual act, while for others it’s more a means for generating some lightheartedness—both are valid and important aspects of what we try to cover here. We’ve always loved publishing Babasom’s submissions because, as we’ve said in the past, they genuinely brighten our day (and, likewise, he genuinely seems to enjoy brightening the days of others), but they also feature a man who is pushing his body in a very real way—even if huge septum piercings aren’t as “cutting-edge” as maybe they once were. “I have helped it bloom,” he says of his “metal flower” above. Don’t ever change, Babasom.
Oh hey, it’s Hack! You all remember Hack from this beatific shot from last winter, right? Well, we’re glad to see him at any rate. We cannot figure out, however, exactly what it is he’s trying to force down that bothers him so much. Something obtained from the pond behind him, perhaps? Some tree bark? A DREADLOCK? Whatever it is, if it’s a staple that plays a role in the statuesque appearance possessed by him and so many of his countryfolk, we will take several boxes of this vile creation. In all fairness, he does seem to warm to it just a touch…after the jump.
Look, we know Babasom gets featured frequently around here (lots more), but really, few contributors so consistently conjure up the mix of awe and belly laughter that his photos so often elicit. What I mean is—and I say this with nary a hint of hyperbole—if you don’t like his photos, then you are a hater of freedom. There, I said it. And it’s on the Internet, so it has to be true. Plus, he’s modest. Of the above photo, he says, “It was really tough to do this and take the picture at the same time.” That seems like a gross understatement. We love this man.

Oh, what’s this, now? Some young turk, calls himself Will, trying place himself as the heir to the Babasom throne, hmm? With his septum at 18 mm., this gent out of São Paulo can clearly fit a finger in there, but will he challenge the reigning champion with various feats of septum pluggery? Only time will tell. Another photo, after the jump.
“Sure,” you said, “Babasom can fit peppers in his septum. He can fit locks, markers and sunglasses. But can he fit both pinkies in? No. No he can’t. Of course not.” Guess who was just proven wrong?
Sleep on that, ModBloggers. Until tomorrow.
Well hey now, it wouldn’t be a proper end to a week without it being a casual Friday, am I right? That’d be Ari up there, dick just flappin’ in the breeze, standing next to noted adult film star Jacob Romero. But why? Well:
Blue Boutique (Ari’s place of work) was throwing this gay couples sex toy party, so they got him to come in and autograph DVDs and shit. [...] When [he] came in, I knew what I had to ask: “Hey bro, can we get a picture…with our dicks out?”
Those are the kinds of tough questions that win awards, my friend. And just like that, our little week has run its course. What went down this time around?
- Oh dear God, the throat goat is back. Hide the children.
- Wayde Dunn is still a magician.
- Some horndog was licking swords all over the place.
- Chuckie from Hungary stuck a worm in his septum, and the children all cried.
- Not to be outdone, Babasom loaded up his schnozz with spicy peppers. Ball’s in your court, Chuck.
As always, we’ll pop in briefly over the weekend, and then come Monday, it’s back to normal. Until then, enjoy your weekend, folks, stay safe and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME.
Well hey, it’s our old friend Babasom, checking in for our vaunted “Irregular Septum Jewelry Week” here on ModBlog! Babasom is, of course, known for, among other things, just cold stickin’ things through that huge septum piercing of his, all the time. Here, he’s stowing some tasty jalapeno peppers, surely because he does not trust the people at Chipotle or wherever to provide sufficiently spicy fare. To be fair, I would shove the merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango up my nose a million times over before ever letting a worm poke around in there.
Ahh, now this is a nice salve after all the rapey bits before. This here is blackroses sporting her brand new BME tattoo! After the jump, a picture of her with her tattoo artist, Jane, plus a bonus photo of babasom showing some BME love as well.
Septum piercing? $20. 18 mm., 1.25-lb. lock? $30. Creating a fool-proof defense against ancient Egyptians ripping out your brain through your nose? Priceless. Babasom’s got the right idea.
