BME Trivia

bme_logo

As an “old fart” by the piercing industries standard, I have a high appreciation for things in the modern history of body modification.  In talking with lots of young piercers and modification fans I am often shock and saddened by their total lack of knowledge (and to some degree lack of caring) about  where this community came from. This is why I try and do From The Vault features to show readers some of what happened pre-modblog.

Anyhow, I used to post these trivias on my iam page, with random prizes and I thought it would be fun to post them here occasionally as well.  I don’t have much in the way of a prize to offer, but whomever gets all the answers in first (or in the event no one gets them all right whoever gets the most correct this weekend) can either have a feature on themselves, or an artist or friend of their choice on modblog.

For the questions, keep on keeping on.

-What does Muzak (the generic elevator music company) have to do with body piercing?

-What modern body modifier first made a name for himself by wholesaling CBR’s for under 4 bucks when Gauntlet was still charging around 20?

-What is Fakir Musafar’s birth name?

-What does PFIQ stand for?

-Name at least one of Erik Sprague’s aliases besides “The lizardman”.

-What does “TSD” stand for ?

-What was Todd Bertrang formally arrested for?

-What is a RABbit?

-Who’s collection of photos, were the basis of the Shawn Porter Collection?

-Who was the primary photographer of the BME trading cards and the Modcon books?

-What bodmod artist worked with Dee Snyder to design the piercings seen in the movie “Strangeland”?

-What was BME’s original url?

Bonus Question:

In the acronym DFWC, which stands for ‘Don’t Fuck With Chuck”, who is Chuck?

  11. So I know a few of these, but I’m still pretty new to this whole game, but these are the types of things I want to learn! I don’t wanna get into body modification because it’s “easy”. I want to it to be a part of my life and I wanna learn all I can about it and where it came from, and who worked to make it what it is today.

  15. that was indeed too easy. The only one I didn’t know I was too lazy to research – and I would not classify myself as competent and knowledgeable in this field at all…
