Zentriratna here puts new meaning to the term “getting choked up”. Someone who is more familiar with corseting can probably correct me, but it seems that if this type of corseting had a name it would be called a “choker”. Not in the violent sense mind you, but along the lines of those tight necklaces, which fits in with the visual style of corsets anyway.
Of course whether it has a name or not isn’t as important as Zentriratna is, who is looking quite stunning in the photo.
They’re graceful and fluid, serene and tranquil, regal and orange. Orange?
Oh the mighty goldfish. The token first pet to many a young child. Once regarded as a symbol of majesty and prosperity, now regulated to the fishbowl, only to die a lonely death, and be unceremoniously disposed of down the toilet. But fret not, as there are many people out there that respect and cherish the goldfish, giving them ponds and aquariums to live out their days in. This tattoo by Kevin Gordon shows just how dedicated one can be to the incredible goldfish. You can be sure the owner of this tattoo wouldn’t dispose of their companion by a toilet.
What was the name of your first goldfish?
Two weeks ago we took a look at a couple of pieces by Magnutze. Today we get to take a look at the man behind those incredible abstract tattoos. Sometimes people can forget that the artists behind the artwork are just the same as everyone else. Their passion to modify themselves is often overlooked by their own artistic accomplishments, which is a shame because a lot of them have some fantastic pieces. For example…
I love the look of the tattoos on his face, as they don’t fit into any conventional design. With a lot of his artwork falling into the abstract column, it should come as no surprise that he has the style on him as well. The artist is Chandler Barnes from Fur Immer in Berlin
Even though the real Thanksgiving was last month, it is the big day in the States, with the football, the parades, and the food. Oh yes. The food. Now whether you’re eating turkey, turducken, turturkeykey, tofurkey, or some other variation, if you’re sitting down with loved ones for a feast you can pretty much expect a food coma later on today. Of course the holiday isn’t just about food. It’s an interesting holiday as it means so many different things to many different people. To some it is viewed in the traditional sense, with the celebration of the harvest, and the coming of winter. To others it is a day much like Remembrance day where thanks is given to the women and men who dedicate their lives to protecting others. And for some, it’s a day to enjoy with family and loved ones. No matter what your reasons for celebrating today are, enjoy yourselves, and if you are out partying late into the evening, remember to be responsible.
Now I tried to find some kind of Thanksgiving related tattoo, but unfortunately turkey tattoos aren’t as popular as one would believe. In all seriousness, BME is thankful for all of its wonderful members who continue to submit their photographs, stories, and videos to share with the community.
For example, we’re thankful that Sonja from Punktum Tattoo in Germany continues to send in such beautiful geometric designs.
So what are you thankful for today?
Growing up in my house we had a number of board games. One in particular I remember was a game called Mastermind. The game itself was fairly straight forward, and it involved guessing a sequence of colored pegs in a given number of rounds. What always struck me as odd was the game’s box. On the cover was an older gentleman with a beard sitting before a mirrored table with a woman standing behind him. It probably was intended to evoke some form of James Bond villain scenario. So seeing this picture of the lovely IAM: Jea made me think of that old game. I’m sure some will argue but as awesome as dudes with beards are, I’d rather have Jea sitting across the table from me than some golden gun wielding nemesis. What about you?
According to the description attached to this photo, Toino has been working on his tattoos non-stop for the past three years. After getting work done by Richard Van Pelt, Stefano Negro and Hohepa Goebel, Toino has decided to sign up to BME to become a member of the community.
Let’s give him a nice warm welcome.
Oh young love. Where every moment feels like the first, and the last. Every feeling is magnified a thousandfold, and your heart feels like it could beat out of your chest. Where you take your heart, and offer it up to another, hoping that they do the same. Alas, Cupid’s arrow doesn’t always hit both of his targets square in the heart, and while one person may fall head over heels in love, the other might only get a flesh wound. So what is one to do? Grab hold of that arrow, rip out their own heart and offer it freely, with the hope that the other person will do the same? Or leave it buried deep within themselves, forever lodged in their chest, aching whenever they think of the one they lost.

When Karina wants to hang out, she does it in style.
I’ve been wrong before, and if I am again I’m sure I’ll be corrected, but this appears to be a 2 point resurrection suspension.
Aside from the fact that Karina is beautiful the shot itself is breathtaking. Not only is she suspended by the hooks, but she’s also pulling up on herself, giving the photo a feeling that she’s the one that is lifting herself into the air, and not the hooks.
A while back my old friend Josh (yes, “That Guy” from the 9:30 club in DC) has been featured on modblog a few times previously for pictures similar to these. It seems he has a thing for playing the villain, when truth be told he is a gentle giant of a man.
For another shot and a little backstory on this project from Josh, keep on keeping on.
My buddy Dave and I started doing some horror themed photo shoots as a promotional campaign for a haunted hayride a few years back. That project went away, but we kept shooting. Dave is a huge old horror movie buff, and he started toying around with making movie posters out of the shots complete with titles, taglines, and credits. That gave birth to the “movies that don’t exist” concept. As we kept shooting, we started to realize that it would be fun to make a trailer for the movie that doesn’t exist. we’ve started working on the story, and shooting video along with the stills.
The photos have received a wide range of responses, from people that absolutely get the homage to the slasher flick angle to being called poorly edited misogynistic crap. We realize that the subject matter is not for everyone, and the fact that it elicits any response at all is a good sign. If you don’t get a response, you’re not doing it right. We also haven’t tipped all of our cards just yet. There is more to the story than what appears at first glance.
Our number one priority when shooting is that none of the girls get hurt (only I am allowed to injure myself for a shoot). The shoots are all done in fun, and we often ruin shots because one of us can’t keep a straight face from joking around so much. This made us realize that we need to show that side of the process as well, so we’ve started shooting some “behind the screams” video to show the lighter side of the project.
The current plan is to put together a multimedia package . There will be a book including the stills, some bios, peeks behind the scenes, and some story elements. Then there will be the video portion which includes the trailer, outtake video, and some interviews. The project keeps evolving, so there may be even more to come in the future.
All of the work can be seen on the 13th Hour Photography’s facebook page.
Time’s up! It’s time to see how everyone did. But before we get to the results, lets get a quick recap of today’s game.
Any final guesses? Now’s the time.
To see the results, you know what to do…
Well, in what should come as no shock to anyone, round one certainly was a penis. Some of our readers were able to recognize the tattoos and knew that they belonged to IAM: m1fly. The fun part now is taking a look at ALL the mods that he has. According to his page, here is the rundown:
MODS:
STAINLESS PENIS IMPLANTS: about 3 pounds, including hundereds of small balls in the shaft core and 5/8 dia. balls filling a healed pouch along the underside that’s inflated with air and rattle inside.
STAINLESS SCROTAL IMPLANTS: 6 one inch balls that also rattle when inflated. They weight about one pound.
PERMANENT PENIS THORNS: well over 400…. now 600!! thorns in place in the last two inches including the head. 4″ long cactus thorns in the shaft core.
FISHING LINE: New…. 6 lb. line wadded up inside the glans. (many feet) in the penis shaft core, mostly wadded up below the scrotum as a trial run for stuffing the shaft full and hard. Lengths under the skin also.
VARIOUS PENIS IMPLANTS: including broken car glass, glass beads, plastic caps and beads, hair, small stones, LED lights, sutures, wires, and a retired electronic tune player. Yes, my penis used to play a tune when squeezed and even light up inside!
TATTOO’S ON THE PENIS AND SCROTUM, some done as practice or fun such as writing funny things…. I’d like to have the whole area colored and lots of funny writing or names.
INFLATEABLE PENIS: There is a healed internal skin pouch filled with steel balls that rattle around inside. The pouch can be inflated to make it huge or small in minutes and stays full of air or other gases for months.
STRETCHED OUT URETHRA: It will now accept 7/8″ dia objects, but used to fit over an inch around. Has had a table knife, spoon and fork completely inside at once. Some large objects and coins are now lost into the bladder.
PENIS HEAD HAIR…. A strange thing is hair started growing around and inside my urethra eight years ago. It happened almost over night and soon the whole head was covered with 5″ long hair! It will grow to over two feet in length if I let it!! I’ve tried everything to have it removed but it always returns. The stuff inside the urethra can’t be removed so it’s there to stay. I’ve spent MANY $ and it comes back worse everytime??? Doctors told me to stop the removal thing or risk even more hair growth?? What?!? I have got used to it now and if nothing else it feels nice when pulled on 🙂
I used to have many genital piercings, but with all the weight of my work it caused them to either start growing out or be extremely irritated. The implants are more fun so the piercings had to go.
Impressive doesn’t even begin to describe it. BME Hard members can check out more pictures in the genital surgery galleries.
Round two is a little on the tamer side of things with AtropaPipesworth’s DIY navel piercings.
Our third and final round today did involve some blood as a result of cutting, but it was definitely above the waist. TheBeef sent in photos of her tongue web cutting, and you can check out more pictures of the procedure being done in the gallery.
So? How well did you do this time? I’m giving bonus points for those of you who were able to identify m1fly’s collection from just a small photo.
Every week we’re looking for more photos to play the game with, so if you have a photo lying around that you think might be great for the Guess What Game, just send it in.
