Called and Sang and Promised

We’re admittedly curious about the reaction you folks may have here. After we posted photos of Tye’s new knuckle tattoos, the old conversation about whether there’s a certain hierarchy of visible/”extreme” modification work that should be adhered to crept back up. (Tye, of course, has his ears pointed and a not insignificant amount of tattoo work, though we will admit these modifications were not perfectly visible in the attached photos.) Our Russian correspondent up top may be a good example of this conflict as well. Not only are medusa piercings stretched so large rare themselves, but it’s especially uncommon to see something like this ostensibly independent of any other major modifications. (There are, of course, marks and scars that indicate previous work.) We’re fans of it, aesthetically speaking, but, even more so than knuckle tattoos, this is a pretty dramatic standalone piece of work. A nice close-up, after the jump.

Just In Time For Christmas: Glow in the Dark Nipples

Posted on by

We will admit that, sometimes, we are very simple and easy to please. This is one of those times, and it’s all thanks to one of our long-time and most reliably creative contributors. Take it away!

About 10 years ago, I sent some pictures of self-done nipple-pocketing. In 1999, a picture of my nipple with a cigarette butt stuffed in its stretched hole at the center was selected as a cover image of BME. I also sent pictures of my flame-throwing penis, which was achieved by sending butane gas through a silicone tube inserted into my penis through a urethral reroute. Some of those pictures appeared in the ModCon book. I also had my own bonus gallery that was entitled “Beaded Nipple.” More recently, I’ve done some cool (and funny!) nipple play.

To start with, I created new holes at the center of my nipples—I hadn’t worn any jewelry in them for a long time. Then I stretched them by pressing tools like the stem of a painting brush against the nipples and cutting the tissue in them with a knife until the holes could accommodate beads measuring 6 mm. in diameter. I pushed 6 mm. balls of barbell studs in the nipples and left them in there for three weeks. New skin grew and covered the holes completely, making the size and shape of my nipples just like a woman’s nipples. (I, of course, am a man.) Then, the center holes were pierced again and some nipple play was done, then the holes were stretched again up to 8 mm. and glass beads measuring 8 mm. in diameter were pushed into the nipples. The nipples were pierced horizontally so that the beads in the nipples were skewered together with the nipples. Then, hand-made CBRs that were made out of stainless steel tubes with LED (light emitting diode) chips fitted in them were inserted in the horizontal holes to illuminate the beads from inside.

Escape These Motives

See, now, this is just rude, right? Emily is just hanging out, in the buff, all corseted up and relaxing on a hand-crafted Norwegian boat stool, but can she enjoy herself? No. No she cannot. Because there are disembodied hands just floating around and trying to screw with her good time. There oughta be a law, you know?

Keys to the Future

And here we have René van Assema, hailing from Almere, The Netherlands, and checking in bravely from the dark side of the moon, apparently. And without a space suit or oxygen supply or anything! The difficulty of this sort of photo shoot cannot be overstated. This is literally impossible to accomplish, and yet? Here we are. Ever the modest model, though, René says only, “All you see is tattoo, no make-up or fake colors.” This seemed fairly obvious, until…well, you know where to look.

See? The eyebrows are a bit more obvious, but had the specific mention of the fact not been made, I would have just assumed the rest was eye make-up. Well played, my friend. Well played, indeed.

Bigger and Bigger

Following up on yesterday’s most impressive play piercing session, we’re pleased to show off the latest submission from valued ModBlog contributor Cris Black out of Atlanta, Georgia, who just kicks all kinds of play-piercing ass, all the time.

Here’s a 20-piece chest play project I did on my friend (who wants to be known only as E.). Other than her septum and lobes, she has no other piercings and no tattoos, so I was very happy to have been able to help her with he first foray into play piercing. I was assisted in this project by my new apprentice, Haley, who was also one of the models for the wings play-piercing that has been featured here on ModBlog.

Well folks, as September draws to a close, so too ends BME’s world-famous Knuckle Month. As we’ve learned, publishing photos of knuckle tattoos brings out the tough customers, so let’s celebrate the commentariat’s vitriol with this offering from Tye, sporting the Queen’s script by Lila Way at True Grit Tattoos in Burlington, Ontario. After the jump, Tye mugs for the camera, just because. So long, Knuckle Month.

Hey, would you look at that? Another day, another picture too good for which to not offer an embiggening click-through. This glorious shot is courtesy of Hangman Suspensions (the Hawaii- and Oregon-based one, that is, not to be confused with Pete Sheringham‘s Hanged Man Team in Melbourne, Australia), from their end-of-summer suspension convention held recently at Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon coast. Lovely stuff. And, of course, more, more, more…after the jump.

80 Needles, One Breast

Eighty is a rough estimate, of course, but however many it is, we are thoroughly impressed with this play piercing set featuring Bittra! Working the needles is Dau of Sundbyberg, Sweden’s Pain Division, who was apparently called in for this “spontaneous” session. Resourceful! More shots, including one in glorious full color, after the jump.

The Most Eloquent Silence

Good morning, folks! Let’s begin our dreary Tuesday with the decidedly non-dreary Marina, coming to us from Antwerp, Belgium via Germany, and sporting a 7 mm. philtrum to go along with her 44 mm. (formerly 50 mm.) lobes and those old-soul eyes. Let her sly grin be your umbrella today, ModBloggers. Unless, you know, it’s raining really hard. Then a real umbrella would probably be a better choice.

Tuesday? Tuesday. Monday.

The Youth of a Sparrow

And here we have Duncan, checking in with some fine old school work courtesy of Shaun Bushnell (Glenn’s Tattoo Service), Joe Almquist and Scott Denhalter (Cape Fear Tattoo) and Brian Leebrick (Port City Tattoo), to say nothing of some fancy ear jewelry and a generally winsome demeanor. And hey, this photo also commemorates his one-year anniversary at the aforementioned Cape Fear Tattoo in Greenville, North Carolina, so congratulations for that! Upon hearing about the milestone and seeing the nice bold old school pieces, Bob Roberts showed up at his house, beat him senseless, gave him a cigar and then bought him whiskey and steak all night. True story.*

*Not a true story by any means.
