With all the excitement of the shop.BMEzine.com relaunch, I’ve been trying to calm myself down all morning. And I have to say, the above picture? Not helping. Not helping at all.

Are you the sort of person who might be interested in an online body modification store packed with tons of T-shirts (with new designs coming regularly), beautiful high-quality jewelry, books and DVDs and industry-favorite aftercare products? Well hot holy damn, you’re in luck! At long last, BME shop has made its triumphant return to the Internets! Months of careful planning, precise purchasing and about an average amount of witchcraft have gotten us here, and we could not be happier. Click the image above to go directly to our Final Run T-shirt designs (which are on sale!), or click on that handsome unicorn below to visit the all-new shop.BMEzine.com!
… do I even need to say anything?
No. No I don’t.
(Unfortunately, I don’t have any information about this piece. If it belongs to you, pipe up!)
There’s no music to this video (it’s all about the visuals homeslice), but really, it doesn’t get much better than a freaky German queer dribbling for seven minutes as he re-splits his tongue now does it! Oh and he’s blonde and hot too.
Awwwww yeah.

No.
Who are these people? I don’t know. Can you ever really know a person? But from left to right, we’ve got “Silly Girl,” “Go Fuck Yaself,” “Pig Fucker,” “Beer” and “Bag o Donuts.” Reminds me of my prom night! If only there were a “tear-soaked blazer” …

This morning’s wake-up call comes courtesy of IAM: joao_caldara, who I swear to God cannot get out of bed without taking part in a beautifully photographed suspension. This one was done with the help of Valnei Santos of Outlaws Tattoo, and took place in Petropolis, RJ, Brazil. A few more photos after the jump.
Wait, wait, I know this one! Umm … Shredder? No? Shit. C3PO? Really? Damn it. I could’ve sworn … oh, oh, Robocop! It’s Robocop! Ah, hell, I’m no good at charades.
(Tattoos by Rick Lohm at Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, New York. Says owner John Joyce: “This kid came in a while ago to get these tattoos. He was very adamant that he didn’t want a black outline — he wanted them just in red, so they matched Optimus Prime. After they healed, he came in with this helmet for the picture. Fucking perfect!”)

Huh, that’s funny. She doesn’t seem like a redhead. Ah, the wonders of black and white photography.

The above hell-demon was summoned by Paul Arena at Tattoo Clinic in South Glens Fall, New York, who is obviously some sort of damned warlock and probably does this sort of thing for fun, all the time, and will stop at nothing until these terrifying beasts have crept up from the soil and latched onto the backs of every man, woman and child, enslaving us all, forever. A clever gambit on your part, sir.

You know what one of the best things about working at BME is? Occasionally, you’ll look at your e-mail inbox and see an e-mail with a subject line like “Lesbian Vampires.” Under normal circumstances, this would be nothing — probably spam advertising a Transylvanian boner pill or perhaps some sort of zaftig pyramid scheme (“The bloodthirsty queen of the island of Lesbos would like to lend you some money!”). But here? You see that title and you think to yourself, “You know what? I bet I’m gonna open this up and there are gonna be some lesbian vampires in there,” and sure enough, bam. Lesbian vampires. What a country.
Artist Update! This fine piece of work was done by Cere Kyle Cotterman at Ink Revolution Studios in Kingsport, Tennessee.
