It’s always fun when people send in photos of their BME logo tattoos. I really like how sharp this one from juDe looks. Tattooed by Ilara at Le Bonheur Tatouage in Cremona, Italy.

Dr. BME tattoo on a “Dr. BME”
Loran Shumway, piercer and body modification artist at Eclectic Body Art in Olean, NY got a tattoo of one of the many variations on the classic Dr. BME logo on his nape, done this past Monday by Robbie Mills of Something Beautiful in Jamestown, NY. I asked him why this particular version and he explained that he bumped into this one while searching for the original artwork*. Since as a practitioner he enjoys doing lots of implants, “I figured the one with more implants was a better fit for me!” After the picture of his new tattoo is a recent implant he performed, a silicone infinity symbol (from Steve Haworth’s collection), both fresh and a week into the healing.
* Note to other searchers, you can find most of the basic logos by looking up “BME Logo” in the BME wiki, although there are many variations missing… The page is desperately out of date.
BME Pubic Piece Update
I’ve posted on Mateo’s BME logo pubic scar previously, which has been getting augmented with a growing and glowing aura of dotwork ink geometry by Jodi Lyford of Chimera (chimeratattoo.com) in Santa Cruz. She’s recently done more work on it, and it’s absolutely stunning. And the best thing about it is that it has an extremely realistic beard! But seriously, along with Keff’s dotwork BME logo sleeve and Joeltron’s BME logo backpiece, Matteo’s easily earns a place in my shortlist of best BME-themed body art.
On a barely related note, speaking of Mateo, that reminds me I’ve been meaning to post a picture of the great nostril jewelry that Pauly Unstoppable was wearing in his latest pictures (the connection is that Mateo has done many of Pauly’s piercings). It almost looks like the coils that the Kayan people wear around their necks, and to my surprise is a look that I rarely see even though it’s quite beautiful.
BME logo vs. Jodi Lyford
I love the way Mateo (a regular here on ModBlog) is integrating his BME logo with the new geometric work being done by Jodi Lyford of Chimera Tattoo Studio & Gallery (chimeratattoo.com) in Santa Cruz. This is just the very start of the session and the very beginning of what I’m sure will be a great addition to Mateo’s already impressive collection of body art.
Hooked on BME
Here’s another photo from the First Blood suspension showcase at the Sydney Tattoo Expo. This one is of Joeltron and his big BME/CBR Triskelion tattoo.
Logos and Guns
They say that the family that cuts together stays together, which seems somewhat fitting for Starr and Brian. Working out of his NYC studio PURE Body Arts, the couple did this collaboration piece of a BME Logo and pair of AK-47s.
If I recall correctly, Brian did the logo, while Starr did the guns.
While we’re on the subject of BME, the BME NYE party is happening again this year. Located right by King’s Dominion in Virginia (outside Richmond), BME HQ is going to be the venue for the festivities. You’re welcome to camp on the property, but the hotel is only a couple of minutes away. We’ll have basic food and drinks, but you’re more than welcome to bring extra. Once we get confirmation, we should be able to say with certainty that there will be suspensions on site. So, if you’re up for a great time this New Year’s, head on down to BME HQ!
Two for the road
Nail is starting a journey, but before hitting the road he took the time to give himself not one, but two BME logo tattoos.
Nail works at Nail’s Tattoo in Hungary.
Rub his head for good luck
We’ve seen half of Joeltron‘s head before when we took a look at his Tron recognizer tattoo. Today we’ve got a look at the back of his head where Tominator added a good luck kitty using the BME Smile Cat logo. That kitty may look tough, but when your tank exhaust has little red hearts coming out of it, the tough level goes down and the cute level goes up.
Friday Beards
I’d love to have a weekly beard post (to go along with that beard gallery I want), however that requires more bearded men sending in photos. Thankfully guys like Marmitoman are helping make that dream a reality. This bearded Brazilian is also sporting a Team BME Logo tattoo on his shoulder.
Brand Branding
I love how words can evolve over time. Nowadays when you talk to someone on the street, if you mention the word “brand” they’ll probably think you’re talking about a logo or a line of clothing. To others they’ll think of cattle. Of course, when it comes down to it the “modern” use of branding isn’t much different than the other usage. It’s all about using a mark to distinguish something from everything else. BME uses our logos as part of our brand identity, so when someone gets a tattoo or a scar of a logo, it means that we as a brand have affected them in some meaningful way. Here’s an example of one by Mike Grant.
