I just want to say what I think: You people are sick.. abnormal and you need a doctors help...
like you said :"its real life" - no it isnt its patology.. and no normal person will do it.. believe me.. cause maybe you ve gone too far
The worst thing is that you decribe some of the vidoes as the highest quality- ??? cutting a cock or filling a ball with a shit or maybe splitting your fucking tongue - you call this "high quality" what quality? its patology as i said... go to the doctor and maybe you too can be a normal person and maybe you will enjoy the real pleasures of this life... just think about yourself and about what you are interested in... -disguisted |

Silly Questions

Hi, I want to get my tongue pierced but my parents don't allow. one of my friends told my dad that if you get your tongue pierced you will have to get it surgically removed. If you know whether or not this is true could you please email me back with the answer! sara |

| hey- i want 2 get my tongue pierced, but my cousin told me that if u do, it slowly kills the muscles in ur tongue so when u get old, u kant talk. i want 2 know if this is true cuz i really want it, but i still want 2 talk when i get old 2. thanx |
There are probably a half million people with pierced tongues. Don't you think you would have heard if they were getting their tongues surgically removed? Don't you think that if they started losing their speach you'd hear about it?

People don't seem to realize that BME contains something other than just an email address to send these poorly written questions to... There are FAQs that answer almost all of these questions, as well as thousands of experiences!

Stupid Questions

Dear Shannon I have read recently that according to the Ayrvedic teachings that having a nostril pierced can put the wearer in an induced psychological state of submissiveness. Is this true? It certainly puts me off having my nose pierced. BB Michelle |
Um... NO.

hi my name is lenny slade and i had my tongue pierced almost a year ago
(august 24 (my 16th bday). and in late december my doctor MADE me take it out
bc i was losing taste buds and it could get a lot worse. is that true that it
could get a lot worse and i could lose my tongue or parts of it??? could it
be fatal? it was pierced w/a 10gauge and i must admit that while changing the
different barbells i didnt take as much care as i should have...could that be
the reason for the loss of taste buds? since it has been out the taste buds
came back and went away again. also i get these big burn-looking marks on my
tongue and they hurt. could that be bc of the piercing? could u get cancer
from it? (thats what my dentist says) and finally, if i get it pierced again
will the same thing happen? thank you for ur time |
No, No, No, No, No, and No.
| From: Kadabra61 Subject: Hi, a quick question |
| This concerns the people that do the penectomy procedure (where they remove the penis), how do they urinate after the procedure is over and the penis is gone? |
Why do people simply not think about it before asking? Obviously if the penis is removed they will pee from the base where the urethra now ends.

I noticed while downloading a pic of yours from newsgroups that you
very emphatically said that 'Copyright will be protected and damages
sought for infringemnet undes USC.. blah blah .. ' ... perhaps you
should have thought of that before stealing the image that you present
on the pictures from the rock band Journey ? I will not infringe on
your rights to publish pics, but be aware that Sony Music and
Columbia Records corp has gotten the same email ... cheers (email #2) this pic.. the logo in the low left .. is a replica of the album cover from Journey 'Frontiers'.. and no .. not a prank at all .. actually just trying to inform you ... cheers... |
Oh, come on! The journey albumn cover does not even vaguely resemble the BME logo! Nice of you to forward this to Sony and Columbia, I'm sure they've realized like I did that you have rabies.
The Chat Room
| From: Brandon Wood Subject: A Question About the Chat |
|
Hi Shannon, I was using your chat room for the first time tonight, and was attacked for being gay by a person calling there self shorty. Is this chat service for only straight people? When I defended my self, I was disconected, and unable to get back on. Is this the rule, "no fag's" as I was told by your other chatter's? I wouldn't think BME would allow such behavior, even though it is not you responability to police what your members thing, but I would think all mod fan's would be welcome. Please let me know what the deal is with this, because I would love to get to know some nice people of all gender, regardless of who they like to sleep with. Thanks, Brandon Wood |
Obviously the chat room has no such policy. As a general rule, don't believe anything that anyone in any chat room tells you!

The chat rooms on BME are free -- anyway, unless you give me your credit card info, how could I bill you?
Weird Stuff
| From: tal pilkinton Subject: grammer snafu. |

Hey, I love your e-zine. It is the best body art site on the net. However that isn't what I am writing about. In your tattoo section, you have a picture of two octopuses that is labeled "octopi". This is a misnomer. Octopus is not a word like fungus which is pluralized with an "i". Those words are Latin based and use the Latin nomnitave plural endings. However, octopus is composed of two Greek words. Octa means eight, and pus means foot. This means that the plural of octopus is "octopoda". This is only used when referring to more than one species of octopus, when referring to two or more of the same species you would say "octopuses" or simply "octopus". Thank you for your time. Like i said earlier, your page is the best. keep up the good work and learn the differance between Latin and Greek suffixes. Sincerely, Mississippi's only pierced and tatooed male ballet dancer, A.K.A. Tal Pilkinton |
OK, I'm the one that's wrong this time!
| From: Sean Arnold Subject: Tattoo Pix |

bmezine, Great site,very useful articles and pictures. Speaking of pictures, I came across a tattoo that I am interested in having inked on myself. What is the procedure here? What do I need to do to be able to use this tattoo legally, so the artist gets credit etc.. Please let me know. Thanks for your time. Sean |
Well, there aren't any major legal issues for this type of use, I think it might fall under "fair use" should someone actually decide to sue. However, do you really want to be the guy that spends his life walking around with a tattoo that says you're so unoriginal that you had to copy someone else's design? Better to take the design you like to a good tattoo artist and personalize it.

BME is racist?
| From: "NkengeZ" <[email protected]> Subject: No Blacks in Body Mod |
|
I've perused your site and others relating to body modification, especially
piercing, and I've noticed that the vast majority of sites are dominated by
Whites with White images. There are basically no pictures of Blacks with
piercings or tattoos, and I see brothas and sistas with these everyday.
What gives? These sites are quick to make references to piercing and tattooing done by the ancient Egytians (or citizens of Kemet) and by various African tribes but almost nothing is said about the piercing practices of African Americans or "modern" Africans of the diaspora. For example, it seems that piercing children seems to be less of a big deal with many Western Blacks than with Western Whites. Many Blacks have their babies' ears pierced (One site basically called this child abuse. Very Eurocentric ["White"] of them to tell us ig'nant darkies what's good for us while excusing whatever Whites do as self-expression). I've read tons of piercing stories from what I assume to be Whites talking about having to beg parents to get a simple earlobe pierce. At the age these folks were begging, I, and many other Black girls, had had our earlobes pierced serveral years before with very little fanfare, much less begging and cajoling. Whatever focus on Blacks there seems to be lies in the obsession with the "Negro as primitive/noble savage" stereotype. Is the body mod movement, like other predominantly White ones, only interested in controlling and limiting Black images (in this case to that of noble savage put on earth to teach and liberate Whites from their "repressive" civilization [more Blacks-as-tools-for-Whites paradigm] instead having to deal with Blacks who live in more modern conditions, who may actually have computers and Net access and are not the backwards primitives that White culture so loves to romanticize)? Are you not getting any picture/story submissions from Blacks? Perhaps they percieve your sites as "not for them" basically because they see no sign of themselves on them. Are there not enough Blacks with more extreme body mods for a typical site to be interested in? Maybe that's because Blacks don't have to get myriad piercings or facial tattoos or dye their hair green in order to get negative attention and shock value. Believe me, leaving the house Black is enough to do all that. Also, Blacks cannot really afford such self-expression as the society already judges us negatively for being Black. We are discriminated against on GP. We don't need to add eyebrow and nose rings (though many of us have them) in order to get negative treatment. We don't get the "benefit of the doubt" that Whites automatically get. We have way less of a margin of error in this society (American)so we may be more wary of taking on more extreme body mods, including simple piercings and tats. Your site, as do many body mod sites, talk about how anti-discrimination it is, how welcoming it is to all. Well, that's a bit hard for me as a Black woman to believe when all I see are White folks, White folks and more White folks and nothing of myself. I wonder if these peeps are so open-minded then why can't their minds seem to emcompass the idea of tatted and pierced Negroes. Just my thoughts. |
When you make these statements, please don't make the common mistake that piercing and body modification is historically a "Black thing". It's not, not even vaguely. EVERY SINGLE RACE AND CULTURE practised body modification at some point in their history; many still do, Indian, Chinese, South American, African, etc.
I have received virtually no submissions from blacks, including this woman that's complaining that I have no black content. There is nothing I can do about that. In all my time doing BME (5 years) I have *never* been contacted by anyone identifying themselves as Black (either by text or photo) about extreme body mods. Never.
As far as your implication that the reason that Black's don't get body modifications because they are already are ostrasized enough by there appearance -- If you really believe that then you don't have a concept of what body modification is about. It's not about getting negative attention; it's about being who you want to be. Don't forget too that most of the mods BME deals with are behind clothing and have zero impact on what the public thinks.
History tells us that this instinct to self-decorate is a similarity that we all share as human beings.
