Casting Call

Posted on by

Attention readers, BME got this casting call and we’re putting it out there for anyone who might be interested:

I’m looking for some assistance in finding people with excessive facial piercings and those who have had body modification.

Mark Seliger, is releasing a book this year made up of his personal work of nudes, landscapes, still lifes and portraits.   Many of the portraits he has taken are of people with excessive facial piercings or have had body modification.   I have attached some references of those we have already shot.

We often travel for work so if you know of people around the country, please do send any and all suggestions our way.
Compensation is $200 (negotiable) plus a print from the shoot.

About being a featured girl: This event is open to all BME Girls age 18 and over. Girls of all shapes, sizes and race are encouraged to submit pictures. Contestants can be dressed or nude, but nothing too pornographic will be featured. Pictures need to be of decent quality, lest the readers condemn me to hell for posting webcam shots. Agreeing to be involved is consenting to be featured in the calendar, if you are selected for it. If you want to suggest someone, feel free to do so. I will contact them and see if they are interested, but no one will be featured without their explicit approval. To submit pictures, please email them to [email protected] Make sure to include your IAM: name (or real name) in your email.

About voting: Votes will be tallied by emailing [email protected], just make the subject “Vote (insert name of girl you choose)” and your vote will be tallied.  Votes will be anonymous, there is no reason for anyone to know who voted for whom and how many votes each girl got.  Voting for one week ends when the following weeks post goes up. Please note, this isn’t about competition, it’s about a fun, interactive way to get the readers involved in the selection process.

About Commenting: I am enforcing a strict ZERO TOLERANCE policy for negative comments about the girls. They are being kind enough to share themselves with us and to help BME make a calendar, they should not have to fear public ridicule. Negative comments will be deleted, if we have a repeat offender, all of their future modblog comments will be sent to moderation. This isn’t about censorship, it’s about common courtesy and respect.

Check back next Friday for the next installment of the BME Girls Calendar feature. I will be back posting other features to modblog Monday, until then keep on keeping on.

F You! This will heal!

No, that wasn’t an actual quote from BlackVirus about his self done transfinger piercing, but it is certainly what this picture said to me.

This piercing was a fairly crude DIY piercing (pictures of the procedure on his IAM page) and the jewelry is definitely  longer than needed, plus there is a random o-ring on it which I can’t figure out,  yet here it is looking ok at 4 months old.

No piercings on the hand are a particularly good idea because of the use and abuse that a hand gets on a daily basis. However, transfinger piercings have a fairly remarkable chance of healing if the subject leads a fairly gentle life. Obviously, for the best chance of getting any piercing to heal, you should seek out an experienced piercer who uses proper jewelry and has an understanding of why something may or may not work out. Nonetheless, once in a while some “crazy kid” does a DIY piercing that shouldn’t last more than a week and yet for some reason it does.

Just an outline, but still impressive.

I am not big on posting  tattoos in progress, but this tattoo is just too bad ass not to post. Also, I am hoping if the wearer or the artist, Jesse Estrada, sees this posted, maybe they will submit some more pictures when it is finished.

You know what else is cool? That ear lobe tattoo. I am sure this guy wasn’t the first person to tattoo a stretched lobe like that, but he is the first I have seen and I love the way it looks!

And to close out “ear mod day”…

I have a beautiful example of pulling a facial tattoo onto the ear and integrating it beautifully. Honestly, I do not find most heavy facial tattoos to be aesthetically pleasing. Don’t get me wrong, I have much respect for anyone taking on such a project, it’s just not something that usually appeals to me visually.

But Andrew here, sporting his latest facial tattooing being done by Andreas ‘Curly’ Moore, is certainly an exception. The tattoo just becomes a part of him and looks so natural on his face, I was immediately drawn to this picture when scrolling through the galleries.

Don’t worry guys I won’t have my son with me tomorrow and I can try and dig up some entries with a  little more variety to hold you over until the BME Girls Calendar entry.

A different take on ear pointing

Well it’s pointed, but not in the same way we typically see ears  pointed. I am not sure quite what the client was going for with this, whether it is indeed a different take on ear pointing, or maybe a faux battle scar,  but whatever the goal was the end result is quite striking.

This cartilage removal was donre by Martin Page of Amazing Colors Tattoo in Berlin.

It’s ear mod day!

Well, it is as far as my modblog post for the day. Why make Thursday January 28th ear mod day? Simple, because I have my son with me at work and he’s being a little too needy for me to go searching for pics and it just so happens, I have some cool ear stuff in a folder ready to go.

To start off ear mod day I have a cool bent bar industrial by Vern K. who works at Steve’s shop Ascension Body Modifications in New Mexico.
