Well if nobody did, too bad, you’re getting more anyway! This time we’ve got two beautiful BMEGirls to close out the week.
First up is Shanna, who we first saw a couple of weeks ago. This time around she’s showing off her kitty, as well as giving us another great look at her tattoos and piercings.
Next up is a photo sent in by justaburde, crediting Kevin Kusulas as the artist for what I’m assuming is the shoulder tattoos.
Well, at least to some people they are. I know Movember is over, but EthanPetry here is still rocking his, curl and all.
I’m continually reminded that Friday is traditionally BMEGirls day, and it’s not that I don’t want to post them on Fridays, I just don’t see the point of making everyone wait until Friday. Then there are the weeks where Friday rolls around, I check the newest submissions, and I find a shot like this one of the ravishing Allison.
Photo credit goes to Glofoto Photography, Shot at Ocean Mystique’s Ink gallery in Virginia Beach. The artist for her arm is Gabe from Adrenaline Tattoo Club in Tuscon.
Rachel (aka Snake Woman) has sent in yet another series of pictures that showcase just how great the BMEGirls tag can be. This time around she’s showing off her half-sleeve by Frank Pirrone.
There’s one more photo to check out, so keep on reading.
Check out the rest of the photos in the photo galleries.
Now before you get upset that I’ve been posting more BMEGirls than BMEBoys, I pick the images from the submissions sent in by you, the ModBlog reader. So boys, send in those photos. I’m 100% certain there’s a lot of people out there wanting to see some BMEBoys.

Meet Gisella. You may remember her from her wedding photos that were posted back in September. She sent me an e-mail recently asking if the BMEGirls gallery was still up and running.
Well it is, and thanks to Pincushion Princess, there are a couple of new additions to the gallery.
Now for the second picture, you’ll have to keep reading, as anyone reading ModBlog at work may get in trouble for checking it out.
Now everyone give Gisella a big thank you for the pictures.
If you’ve got some photos you’d like to submit to the BMEGirls/Boys galleries, or any of the other galleries, just log in to your BME account and start uploading!
OK, let me start with a pretty picture of Lenorefff so the entry has some meat to it… But what I really wanted to talk about briefly was a couple of the criticisms that have been brought up about BMEgirls, so there’s no confusion or hard feelings about what I post and why (or if there are hard feelings, at least they’re on target).
She only has a star tattoo and you’ve posted these before
Sometimes people get upset because I post a photo where the person has a “generic” tattoo, and appear to only be posting it because the photo is alluring. First of all, there’s nothing wrong with a “generic” tattoo — things get popular or common because most people agree that they’re pleasing. Second, the fact is that if you look at the presentation of the photo and the presentation, the alluring context is perfectly relevant and it’s not unreasonable to present it in that context. Finally, the truth is that some people do read ModBlog because they want to see sexy people with mods, including minor mods. Some people want to pose for those photos, and I’m OK with that.
The modification isn’t the focus of the shot — the sex is!
BME does an excellent job of documenting the nitty-gritty of modifications with plenty of closeup photos. ModBlog is more lifestyle oriented and my goal is to place the modifications in the context of the person and how they are presented, rather than just focusing on exclusively the modification. I try and include links and information so you can investigate the mod more if you’d like.
You doctored the photo! You’re encouraging an impossible body image.
All photos that are posted on ModBlog are color and level corrected. Photos that are posted to BMEgirls and BMEboys are sometimes retouched as well. I see these sections as a glamor magazine of sorts and I try and present the photos in the same light, so people and their modifications look their best. I try not to push it past what the eye would capture in an ideal moment.
Why don’t you post a wider range of body types?
Well, I’m sure there’s truth that because the images pass through a double filter of both Phil, then I, that there’s going to be some subconscious manipulation that leans toward our own particular likes. However, we do our best to post an accurate demographic representation of BME’s readership (or should I say submittorship) — if you think we’re not posting enough of a certain subject, submit it and encourage others to as well!
Why all the sexualization? You’re sending the message that people have to take their clothes off to be accepted.
This is the only point that I’m concerned about. I want to really emphasize to people reading this that I love seeing your scantily clad photos, and so do others, because sexuality and body modification go hand in hand for a ton of folks, but you should never take or submit stuff like that (in my opinion) if it doesn’t turn you on as well. If it turns you on, go for it… the best kind of art, especially erotic art, is the honest kind. Just do or be what you enjoy and take a picture. But take the picture of you, not of what you imagine others want…
Hey, I just wanted to mention again the be the next BMEgirl contest. You can actually see more in the BME encyclopedia we’re all been working on. Anyway, it’s going really well, and I think I’m going to do a series of twelve and release one a month along with matching stickers! I wanted to mention that if you want to be in the running to be the number one shirt you have to get your shoot up within two weeks. But later submissions are fine, because they’re still in the running for later ones.
I wanted to emphasize that all people of all shapes and sizes should enter. The key to the photo is it should be something that’s “pinup-y” in style that I can turn into a cartoon, so pose and framing (it should be full body) is important. And if you don’t have a lot of mods, tell me what you’d like to have and I can add it too! Mostly I’m just looking to feature interesting, fun people from this community.
And please pass this on to anyone you think would be good!
You know I can’t go a day without posting one of the myriad of sexy BME members that submit great photos, as I inch myself closer and closer to eternal damnation! Today meet IAM:ennui zero, posing with a series of play piercings up her leg.
Sorry for the radio silence folks. Shannon is dealing with some things but he’ll be back! I thought I’d break the silence with a BME girl. I’m not sure I completely believe that halo. Thanks to Mirka X Mythra for the photo.
