Don’t even post comments about how this isn’t hardcore or it’s boring because it’s “just an ear piercing” but Dustin Robbins from Iris Piercing in Salt Lake City, Utah really spices it up with some kick ass earrings. I love how the more people have stretched lobes, the cooler body jewelry evolves to bring us alternative jewelry to wear. She’s also got a little microdermal tucked above her clavicle.

One of the biggest “trends” in body modification “fashion” has been the decorative threaded end. I’ve seen Body Vision‘s assortment and it’s pretty killer, especially with everyone from gangster dudes to soccer mom’s sporting the tear drop microdermal these days. It’s a way to customize the jewelry for yourself and I think it’s pretty cool. I don’t know if this 14k yellow gold anchor is one of theirs but they make all kinds of threaded ends to suit whatever your needs are. This is Allen and he apparently did the microdermal himself at Superfly Tattoo in San Diego, California.

I think the rest of the day may just be filled with lovely ladies of BME. The first one that’s sitting in my inbox is of a pretty lady in the woods with microdermals by Sean Dee of Primal Expressions in Bethlehem, PA. I’m really happy with the recent influx of other elasticities on BME. I remember the old days when BME was primarily a sausage fest. According to the demogrpahics, BME is frequented by 52% females. It’s no longer the white man’s sausage fest of old. The ladies are becoming a force to be reckoned with and coming in waves of all shapes, sizes and colors.

I got a couple of requests for more shots of Ian’s facial tattoos so I figured I’d toss up another photo of his lovely mug. He’s also got a few microdermals.
It’s that time again! What time? The time where I put things on sale to help you poke holes in yourself. We’re putting all of our dermal punches and microdermals on sale for 30% off with the sale code “dermal”. Visit BMEshop
Edit: The prices of microdermals have been dropped to $10.00 each before the discount! Get them while you can!

Way back in 2008 I made the conscious decision not to post as much “extreme” content on Modblog. This was mainly due to the feedback that I was getting from contributors to BME that they were only getting as much extreme work done just to get showcased on Modblog. While I’m happy that people love BME and Modblog so much that they want to be featured on it, it was troublesome after an individual asked that his photos be taken down because he was now homeless due to his extreme facial mods. It was a wakeup call. Some comments have been left that claimed that Modblog is boring because there aren’t “new and exciting” things being posted. Given that BME has been documenting the community since 1994, the most “new and exciting” mods have already been done. While there are still rare things being done, there aren’t the leaps and bounds in progress and advancements in the modification world that there used to be in the beginning of this decade. I remember when the first eyelid piercing was posted. There was outrage! The same went on with implants, scarification advancements, and even microdermals which have suddenly become the “new navel”. I walk down the streets of Los Angeles and I have seen 40 year old mothers with microdermals in their faces. We can’t always do something new so I’m bringing you something “old” yet still fairly uncommon.
This set of photos comes out of Brazil and it’s by Urea. Let’s hope the redness subsides and this piercing doesn’t irritate the eye any further.
I’m leaving to catch a plane back to Vegas so you guys be good. When I get there I’ll try to keep up with the posts as long as I have internet. More photos after the jump of course!
Good afternoon, folks! Sorry for the late start—we’re not at liberty to discuss the cause of the delay, but let’s just say the Zodiac killer may be one step closer to being brought to justice. At any rate, let’s begin our week with Jannell, whose presence on these here ModBlogs is always, always appreciated. In this photo by Jeff Greer, she’s sporting a new(ish) set of clavicle microdermals by 7yler, and we don’t think we’re alone in thinking they’re a wonderful complement to an already lovely collection of modification work.
See, now, in addition to being a handsome aesthetic addition, it’s interesting to note that these microdermals by Allen Edge out of Superfly Tattoo in San Diego, California, are also load-bearing. What, you think when you build up hipbones like that they just stay in place by themselves? Not a chance. But now, when this gentleman pops his shirt off in public (as he should be wont to do), he can be secure in the knowledge that his many impressive glamor muscles will stay just where they should be. More evidence of this fine craftsmanship, after the jump.
And finally, folks, let’s conclude our week with the lovely Candace, who seems to have misplaced her top. Ha ha, klutz. Luckily, this gives us a nice vantage point from which to view her in-progress sleeve by Toronto’s own Derek Lewis. After the jump, our hero puts some damn clothes on.
And that’s the week, folks! What did we grudgingly accomplish post-Labor Day?
– An anonymous benefactor arrived sporting some pretty fantastic implants.
– This suspension was so nice, we would have liked to frame it. We were beaten to it.
– Danae + leather pants = welcome to ModBlog!
– Can you think of a better place to keep your various flora?
– Oh hey there is a big sale going on at BME Shop right now go buy lots of stuff please.
– We were a little jealous of Anna’s bowl, not gonna lie.
– Do not anger the Angry Owl God.
We may be around over the weekend, especially if all goes well and we’re able to post a wonderful and hilarious interview that we think you folks will really love. Either way, Monday morning, we gas this baby back up and get back to the usual grind. Until then, have fun, stay safe and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME. Enjoy the weekend, folks.
BME Shop is having a huge sale — everything in the store (except anesthetics) is 25% off! Go stock up at shop.BMEzine.com before this deal ends!
Good day, ModBloggers! Let’s begin today with the lovely The Rotten Cherry, checking in from somewhere in the Fatherland, surrendering her ghostly paper heart to (or perhaps just sharing it with) you, the viewer. Sure, you’re probably thinking, “But Jordan, I already have a shelf full of paper hearts from attractive German women with impressive black-and-grey dot-work sleeves (one with an angel and moths, clouds, flames and a swastika, the other with a troll, bats, stars and saturn)—this would just be garish and maybe even overkill.” To which I must reply, it is time to forgo these delicate design sensibilities and accept gifts of this sort when they are offered, the end.
It’s Wednesday, folks. Put on your old man shoes.
