Sure you can have Chuck zap off your tattoos with that fancy laser beam of his, or you can have your stretched piercings sewn closed, but for the most part these mods are (and should be) considered permanent.
#TRIBAL BODY PAINT IDEAS MALE MOD#
For instance, tattoos and large stretched piercings and other mod work are generally considered permanent. Most people go back to their previous lifestyle, simply because they have that as an option.īME members are generally a little less afraid of commitment. The problem is, most people never follow through with these resolutions. Smoking, drugs, drinking, eating bad these are all common examples of things people resolve to give up year after year. Lots of people make resolutions to give up something for New Years.

He is a prime example of someone who lives quite well in the “normal” world as a clean cut man in a tie while, unbeknownst to his colleagues, he is hiding quite the array of body mods under his clothes.įor more graphic pictures of his genital mods, keep on reading. Pretty much as soon as one mod heals (or sometimes before) he is going back into his penis with more piercing, tattooing or surgical mods. Since those conversations almost a decade ago, Subcision has not stop modifying his penis. However, Subcision and J were the two guys I could go to with questions about the procedure and life after this modification, and they never once made me feel uncomfortable. Entering the world of surgical genital modification as a young hetersoexual male was quite unusual, and quite intimidating at the time.

When I first got interested in subincisions there was not much information available aside from J’s old BME interview. Subcision is one of my oldest BME friends as well as being the second person I ever met into surgical genital modifications (the first being Shawn). So without further ado, I give you a conversation with the now 26-year-old James Keen.Ĭontinue reading → Posted in ModBlog | Tagged Amputation, Facial Tattoos, iam members, Male Genital Modifications, Stretched Piercings | 88 Replies I know X-mas is over but if they can have year round x-mas stores, I can post this! Now it is time for me to turn the tables and interview him. Several years ago, he interviewed me for the now defunct.

However, as years passed, it became obvious he was totally serious with his desires and he began to get all the mods he had previously spoken with me about. In fact, I distinctly remember some photo editing of mods onto a picture of his face at one point which made it truly seem as if it was all just fantasy for him. I foolishly lumped him in with several other young modders that seemed to be more into the fantasy of obtaining heavy mods than the reality of doing so. In all honesty, I didn’t take him too seriously. At the time he was a minor seeking answers to questions about heavy mods.

It seemed like overkill, but with President Obama at the UN right at that moment, they probably had no choice.I first talked to James several years ago. Photographers, supporters, art fans, and straight gawkers formed a thick crowd all up and down the taped-off perimeter of the painting area, with only a light presence by the NYPD until it was time to parade, when they bolstered the ranks significantly and employed familiar march-control tactics. Suddenly they all look good, or at least they all look different, but in different ways than before, and it made me wish that I and everyone else could appreciate and instantly see the beauty in all bodies as a matter of course.Īnyway, the scene at Dag Hammarskjod Plaza was pretty wild, with loads of creative energy from the artists-there were apparently 75 painters on hand-and an infectious sense of liberation, and exhilaration, from the models. It's just that after a while you don't see, and think about, these nude physical people in the way that you're used to-as sexy, say, or imperfect, or unappealing, or sensational.

Not that every work of bodypainting here was a great piece of art, though most were pretty amazing. The occasion was NYC Bodypainting Day 2015, organized by Andy Golub and Young Naturists America, and, after spending a couple of hours watching dozens of artists do incredible things to these gloriously nude "canvases", who, as a whole, boasted an extraordinary range of body types, I'd have to say the banner is correct. "All Bodies Are Works of Art" said the banner at the front of the modest, three-block march some 100 fully naked, fully painted people embarked upon yesterday afternoon, walking from Dag Hammarskjold Plaza to an NYPD holding pen ( thanks, Obama!) across from the United Nations.
