Is there a way to determine the BMI of a specific body part?

Say, your ass for example.

I could probably figure out a way to determine the weight of my ass, but I'm unsure how to get the height. Where do you measure from/to?

Then, what BMI chart do you use?

What about your chin? Do you make any adjustments for a beard? You could probably weigh your chin somehow, and then subtract the weight of the beard by weighing one chin hair, then estimate the number of chin hairs, and multiply the weight of one chin hair by the estimated number of chin hairs, and subtract that total from the total weight of the chin to get the true chin weight.

Then measure the chin height by holding a flat surface (such as a book) directly underneath the chin and measuring up from the book to to the underside of your bottom lip to get the height of your chin.

But you are still stuck with the problem of where to find a BMI chart for your chin.

I find it hard to believe that you're unfamiliar with the "not by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin" clause.
