The Noble Platypus

Posted on by

It’s been a little while since we last checked in with IAM’s resident human platypus Jenya.  Aside from his fantastic mods, he also exudes so much joy.  When he e-mailed me a little while back with these photos he had mentioned that because of some health problems he had to reduce the size of his lip plates to a 32mm medusa and 58mm labret, but he’s doing better and is back on track to reaching his goal of a 100mm medusa and 200mm labret.  I really love that when he was telling me the size of his lips in the photo he was saying that they’re small.  I guess size is relative.  Either way, this human platypus and his impressive collection of modifications is always a treat to post.

A Wolf in Wolf’s Clothing

Many of you will remember Darah from the BME World Tour where she was part of the team that went to Australia and New Zealand.  What you may not know is this beauty hails from the wilds of Southwestern Ontario, where she runs wild and free through the forest.  When not stalking her prey in the moonlight, she scours the underbrush pulling forth the spirits of the earth and succumbing to their powers.  Through this divine communion she becomes more wolf than woman, forever bound to the world of the wilds.  It is only in fleeting moments that she can be captured on film where we can see not only her marks and holes that define her exterior, but also catching a glimpse into her eyes, seeing the power and beauty that she manifests.  The pelts she wears are not only there to protect her from the cold of the winter, but also to protect the winter from the fire inside her.

Did someone call for more BMEGirls?

Well if nobody did, too bad, you’re getting more anyway!  This time we’ve got two beautiful BMEGirls to close out the week.

First up is Shanna, who we first saw a couple of weeks ago.   This time around she’s showing off her kitty, as well as giving us another great look at her tattoos and piercings.

Next up is a photo sent in by justaburde, crediting Kevin Kusulas as the artist for what I’m assuming is the shoulder tattoos.

Now that’s a bloody nose

Seeing as how the last post was all about fighting, let’s keep the theme going.  I remember when I was a young kid, my dad told me if I ever got into a fight to hit the other kid square in the nose.  It’ll drop them to the ground and fill their eyes with tears.

Now when Seeingred got punched in the nose, his eyes certainly watered up, and a lot of blood started flowing.  Of course he got his nose punched a little differently than a couple of kids in a fight would be capable of.

Dorian Vilify from Custom Steel and Ink in Flint, MI was the guy who got to punch him in the nose..  with a 2g punch.

No-shave November

With all this talk of Movember, it’s sometimes easy to forget those among us who don’t just grow in a mustache in November.  Take KingFrankWaits for example, he’s rocking an expertly curled ‘stache that blends in well with his beard.  I’m guessing that the purplish mark around his nostril piercing means he just had it done shortly before this photo was taken.

He also looks like a genuinely happy guy, which is always nice to see.  And given how many e-mails I got this month asking for some bearded boys, I’m pretty sure there will be some other happy people when they see this photo.

Behind the Lines

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

Smile with your eyes

So if you’ve ever sat through an episode of America’s Next Top Model, then you’ve probably heard the phrase “Smile with your eyes”.  According to Tyra, it’s a difficult thing for a model to master, and it is an invaluable tool for their careers.  Of course sometimes you don’t have to work to master it at all.  Take a look at Shanna here, she’s just naturally pretty, and her eyes are sparkling with a smile.  The fact that she has a lot of well done piercings and several tattoos doesn’t hurt either.

Her piercings and neck tattoos were done by Jeff from Heebee Jeebees, and her chest piece was done by Emily from To The Grave, both located in Colorado Springs.

Extreme Nose Picking!

Ok, well extreme might not be the best choice of word given we’ve seen a guy amputate his thumb this week.  But can you think of a better way to describe this nose picking technique that brunolorencini is using?  You know a booger is one tough S.O.B. when you need to grab a 6mm dermal punch to get at it.

You can check out the rest of the photos from the procedure in the big nostril gallery.  Including a great shot of the hole before the jewelry was put in.

The inner eye at rest

Taking a look at how relaxed ThunderKat79 looks in this photo, its hard to believe that she just had her inner eye microdermal put in.  Looking at the second photo and seeing how she positioned the piercing to become part of her OM symbol, makes me believe that she was probably meditating the entire time it was being done.  With meditation, one can reach a type of clarity of the mind, opening up their inner eye to take in all the world around them.  To a lot of people piercings can help them achieve this state, as we see with many play piercing sessions.  The ties between spirituality and modifications run deep in many cultures around the world, and the two have been linked together since the earliest recorded histories.  So in today’s modern world, it isn’t surprising at all to see the practices linked in this way, as it reaffirms just how much a role modification plays in the lives of the people in the modified community.

No matter what her reasons for getting the piercing is, we can all agree that she looks very happy with the results, and that’s really what matters most.

The Venus de ModBlog

Well it looks like the beautiful Sarah B. has been busy yet again.  This time, with the help of photographer Ray Del Mar, the two of them have re-imagined a couple of pieces of art into something fresh.

Is that statue in the way?  Don’t worry, keep reading and you can see the original photo, without that pesky statue.

So for the first photo we have Sarah tied up to mimic the Venus de Milo.  As for the painting behind her, I know I’ve seen it before, but I can’t recall exactly.  Hopefully some art savvy readers can fill me in.

Next we have Sarah interjected into Edward Hopper’s “Room in Brooklyn”.

The combination of her piercings and the bondage, mixed with the classical feel of the paintings brings forth a perspective of both cultures blending together almost seamlessly.
