Let’s take it back a little bit to an old classic…See who’s still around, and who’s kept that keen eye sharp!
Get it right? If not, well, there’s always next time…
What we have here is a fresh tongue split performed by traveling Body Modification practitioner Chase Campbell (Instagram: Zentriratna), done on a heavily tattooed and stained tongue.
Want more? Check back next week. In the meantime, be on the lookout for new Modblog posts from a brand new writing staff for 2015!
“Rob” has an interesting take on a urethral reroute that I haven’t quite seen before, which is located at the base of the penis. The procedure was performed by Mac “Doctor-Evil” Mccarthy. I recently had a chat with “Rob” to discuss the process he went through, and why he decided to get such a modification. Continue reading after the break for more (NSFW!).
Originally he wanted a placement I would consider to be more common for a reroute, behind the testicles and scrotum exiting through the perineum, but the artist suggested a slightly higher placement so healing would be easier, and it would be easier to flush out the area of the urethra that would no longer be in use. After a great deal of thought inspired by his relationship at the time and mishaps sitting down to use the washroom, he felt this modification was perfect for him.
“Now the one thing that I totally admire about the guy who was about to work on me, was his attention to detail. The meticulous detail that he went through, to make sure everything was in the right place and ready, was fascinating to watch. It filled me with confidence and put my mind at rest.”
The incision itself was cut and sutured with the help of a sound placed in the urethra during the procedure. “Rob” says he could feel every cut more and more as the artist went deeper. The healing process was pretty uneventful and trouble-free, after a couple stitches pulling through the first night. After a number of months, he decided to start wearing jewellery through the incision and the unused part of the urethra. He says it feels great, and having sex isn’t even as difficult as some may think. “Rob” has many more future genital modification plans, but in the end he desires a full penectomy and eventually wishes to be castrated as well.
Mac “Dr Evil” Mccarthy, a full-spectrum bod mod artist at Punctured in Wolverhampton recently did a nipple removal (or a “nipple skin removal” might be a better way to put it because the “body” of the nipple is still there under the surface as is all the glandular tissue), which of course I’m in full support of if that’s what someone wants to do, and he posted some very nice pictures of it as well. But where he’s got my paranoia freaking out in overdrive is that he did it on camera for a television show. I think what body modification artists may forget in today’s world where these procedures have a high profile and a history is that technically speaking, there is a line somewhere — and I can’t say for sure where that line is — that when you cross it, you’re legally in the medical world, and there are a broad range of criminal charges that can be thrown at you. It’s rare, but it does happen. It’s why in “the old days”, modification practitioners (“cutters” being the term more common at the time) rarely put their name on procedures, and instead had their customers discretely refer qualified customers to them to stay a step away from potential prosecution.
Time has shown that overall the authorities would rather leave us alone, especially if we keep our heads down. The few charges than have been filed have usually resulted from complaints being filed by pissed off parents, or from an artist getting too high a media profile and becoming “impossible to ignore”. And I worry so, so, so, so, so much that when you put yourself on TV doing procedures than a great many people would claim are illegal to do without medical training (whether that is true or not is a complex matter), you stick your neck out so far that it’s gonna get chopped. That you get so loud that they can’t ignore you. Trust me, I of all people know how fun and how ego-satisfying it is to see your name up in lights, to be able to show off the supercool extreme mods you just did, but trust me also, that I of all people can tell you how soul-destroying and miserable it is to be dragged through the courts. It is not an experience I should wish on anyone.
Now, if someone is charged, you can bet that I’ll do everything in my power to defend and protect that person. And I am quite certain that BME, BodyMod.org, and the grass-roots bodymod community would rally to protect them as well. But all things considered, I’d rather not see that happen. Odds are nothing will happen here. But it’s playing with fire. I really want to encourage mod artists to be careful. Don’t get complacent and assume you’re safe. You’re putting your ass on the line every time you help someone realize their modification dreams. You’re sacrificing your safety to help others. It is a noble thing you do. Please keep yourself safe so that you can keep on improving people’s lives.
Anyway, let’s put those dreadful thoughts out of mind for a moment, and get on to the super-cool procedure!
I know some will point out that the cuts do not fully follow Langer’s lines to minimize scarring, but I believe the justification on the cuts was to minimize the amount of tissue removed to make closure easier, and in any case, since the removal is in the middle of black tattooing, any scar that does form can be easily tattooed over in the long run anyway.
While the vast majority of people choose the classic “horn” style forehead implant first made popular by The Enigma, there are an infinite number of ways horns and ridges can be applied to the skull. Some are very natural, some are aesthetically challenging, some are aggressive and hostile, others are alien and serene. I am definitely partial to this nice high set of ridges, a pair of triple half-beads, that Moscow body artist and implant maker Max Yampolskiy (FB/max.yampolskiy) created for his first “demon” client, photographed here at 23 days. They almost remind me of Swirly Wanx Sinatra’s ridges, but pushed much further up on the forehead, which gives them an appearance that works perfectly with the shape of the client’s face. They really look remarkably natural, as if he was born with them, which I think is a sign of aesthetic success.
In this second photo you can get a clearer view of the exact shape they’ve used.
Just a word of caution before getting into this post. Facial suspensions are extremely dangerous, and have only been successfully attempted by two people, both of whom put in an extensive amount of research and training (we’re talking years) before even throwing the first hook. They can easily lead to serious injury, death, or a cheesy John Travolta/Nic Cage film.
With all that said, let’s check in on what Supa and the Kaptive8 Suspension Krew have been up to…
To see more of this amazing suspension, keep on reading.
As you saw above, Supa suspended using three hooks in his face, however the suspension didn’t start out that way.
In recent months Supa has been experimenting with transformation suspensions. We even saw one earlier today. This particular suspension started out as an 9pt modified coma. From there, Supa transitioned into a vertical suspension without changing any hooks.
From there the lower hooks were cut away, leaving him suspended only by the three remaining hooks in his face.
At this point I’m fairly certain that Supa is in fact an alien, or possibly some new species of human, as he’s pushed himself (and suspension) into incredible new directions that a few years ago we would never have thought possible.
And just to reiterate, facial suspensions are extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without extensive research and training.

Alright, I was going to make this a normal Guess What? post, but seeing as how it’s painfully (ha!) obvious what the picture is of I thought I’d show something I don’t normally include in a hard post. You see, most of the time a photo like this appears on ModBlog all you’ll get is that one image. BME Hard subscribers get to see everything from start to finish, but everyone else is left wondering “well what happens when it’s done?” Well, today, you get to find out. So first up is the filtered SFWish photo of a nailing session from Sadistica’s hard bonus gallery. For those that don’t know all BME Hard subscribers are welcome to publish their photos in a special bonus gallery, which is included with the subscription.
I haven’t taken the time to count, but according to the description there are a total of 150 nails in there. To see all 150 nails, and what happens when they’re removed, keep on reading.
Now THAT is a lot of nails. So what happens when Sadistica is done and the nails need to come out? Well that plank of wood is actually part of a box that when angled right, allows the blood to flow downward into a steel tray.
It should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, don’t attempt to do this unless you know exactly what you’re doing. That’s a lot of blood, and something like this, if done incorrectly can lead to serious injury or death.
So there you have it. Of course to see everything, from start to finish, head on over to the BME Hard galleries and check it out.
It’s time again to check in with our friends in the Moscow based Sinner Team. The last time we saw the gang, they had 5 of their members lined up with hooks ready to suspend. Not just any suspension mind you, the suspension that the Sinner Team has put on the map, the free fall suspension. So far most of the photos we’ve seen of their free falls have been from the ground, so it’s been hard to get a good idea of just how high up they’re jumping from. Well, here’s a couple of photos that might put a knot in your gut.
And as a little bonus, here’s the latest trailer for their Free Fall Suspension film.
We get a lot of requests for amputation stories, so today we’ve got one, but be warned, this one is pretty intense.
While I don’t know the reasons behind it, Tegumai_B decided to remove his lower left leg. Typically the types of amputation we see on ModBlog are small digit removals, which are done at home. However with the loss of a large potion of a limb, Tegumai_B needed the help of doctors. Of course, going up to a doctor and asking them to remove your limb probably won’t work, so Tegumai_B used his own method of getting his leg amputated.
To start with, he spent most of a day with his foot surrounded by dry ice. To see what happened next, you’ll have to keep on reading.
Once he removed his foot from the dry ice, it was off to the hospital where he had his foot examined by a doctor.
Sitting in an examination room. My foot is the color and texture of frozen chicken. The red bit looks nasty, but doesn’t hurt.
After being admitted, his foot began to swell up.
Skin of the entire frozen area has filled with fluid. It’s like wearing a rubber glove full of water. Still doesn’t hurt.
You can see how his toes have already started to turn black. At this point, surgery is the only option as leaving his foot intact could potentially kill him. The next step of course is the surgery.
Back in the ward. Two drains in, which were removed the next day.
5 weeks after the stitches were removed, here’s how the leg looked.
5 weeks post-op. No issues or infections then or now. All done.
It’s now been 5 years since the amputation, and Tegumai_B is happy with the results.
Just a photo of my stump, for ‘proof of identity’ purposes. Amazing how many ‘amputees’ are out there with the same photos 😉 About 5 years post-op.
To see more of his incredible journey, check out the amputation gallery on BME.
Alright, so I was going to make this a guess what, but it would have been painfully obvious. Instead, we’re going to play a game called “How Flat Is It?” Below you will see a (censored) photo of a penis in a plastic press. You’ve seen these things before, so it’s nothing new. With that in mind, how flat do you think he managed to get himself?
Make your guess, and read on to see if you were right.
Now here’s the first image uncensored…
And here’s how flat it is..
That’s what? About 2mm? Pretty darn flat if you ask me.
And if it isn’t obvious by now, this is a selection from our CBT – Cock Torture gallery.
Seriously. Don’t do this. This isn’t me laying down a challenge, this is me saying this is one of the most dangerous things you’ll see on ModBlog and you shouldn’t ever even think of doing it.
I’ve used this warning only once before, which was for Andrew’s facial suspension at Dallas Suscon. At the time I mentioned that Andrew had been working on the suspension for years, training and doing research, as well as talking to the first person who pulled it off, Supa. Well here is where it all started. Supa’s first, and the world’s first, facial suspension. Kaptive8 Suspension Krew, Supa’s team, was on hand to help him with this extremely dangerous suspension.
Did I mention you shouldn’t do this? Because you shouldn’t.
