Sorry, it’s not a boob entry, I just wanted to post a couple of chestpieces from recent updates that I really liked. This acorn-themed piece, c/o munin_and_hugin, is by Jeremy Fierto at Liquid Courage in Omaha, NE.
The second chestpiece I wanted to put up for adoration is this fetus c/o fist_intheair, tattooed by Heather Mclean at Strange World Tattoo in Calgary, Alberta.
I’ve just posted another in my series of interviews on lip plates, a modification which I find absolutely fascinating because of how far it pushes facial aesthetics past our cultural norms. This time I talked to G.C. from the UK and Duff from Russia (both her and her husband have lip plates) for some additional viewpoints to the ones raised by Toph in the previous interview on the subject.

I’m told that ModBlog will be offline briefly tonight for some maintenance that will hopefully address some of the slow-down and inaccessibility issues we’ve been having this week. It shouldn’t be offline for very long.
Other than that, enjoy today’s content and the interview with DJ Minor, and I’ll return tomorrow morning with a couple thousand more pictures (half of which are in BME/extreme and BME/HARD — memberships are available again if you didn’t notice) as well as another new interview. Finally, c/o iam:crazy4tat2s2004, this awesome Valentine’s day “Body Two” style Dr. BME tattoo by Patty Colebank at Thinkin’ Ink in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Quite a rare piercing, this deep shaft piercing (lots of pictures are in tomorrow’s update, or continue reading for more here) passes vertically through the base of the penis — I remember reading Jon Cobb describing how much physical force it takes to do this piercing when he recounted doing his own by pounding the needle through, using a large Maglite flashlight as a hammer! While these can be healed, they do take time, and there is some minimal risk of nerve damage, the kind of nerve damage your really don’t want to get.
Jon got his as a “clit knocker” type accessory, but the enthusiast in this entry actually uses it to secure a large bracelet around the base of the shaft.
Speaking of charming couples, I got a few photos from a couple friends having a “strike brand party”. As funny and potentially damaging to claims of manliness the pictures may be, strike brandings is actually a modification that tends to give excellent DIY results and can be a great way for people to bond. In addition, the contamination issues in the case of two friends branding each other in a non-studio environment are quite limited (much less so than for piercing or cutting for example).
This is just a picture of IncendiaryBovine‘s one year old triple microdermal ladder, done by Chris at High Priestess Piercing in Corvallis, Oregon, right?
So I got this picture of of Tap sitting by a wise old tree looking out over the water in Kankakee, Illinois, and I thought, what a wonderful and serene picture of a BMEboy with some great ritual scar work. Then I discovered he was a Peeping Tom… Continue reading to see what he was looking at down at the base of the cliff.
Just joking of course! I do not think Kankakee State Park visitors often find themselves so lucky, nor would I fault Tap for staring!
…I give you Hobo Soup and his best friend Mook.
If you continue reading after the break there are two more photos, and they’re absolutely heart-warming and charming. And no, that’s not typical “oh my god I can’t believe you made me click that” trickery on my part — I really mean it.
One of my perennial favorite modified people is Patrick from Denmark (featured previously), and I’ve greatly enjoyed watching his visage evolve as it improves and becomes more distinguished and defined with every iteration. Most recently he’s had a gorgeous set of biomechanical sideburns added (his body already has a large number of tattoos in this theme) and cheek cuttings.
