BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

The Boys Do the Boogie-Woogie

I know what you’re thinking: Hey, it’s a pretty girl, getting ready to hit the town, but what we’d really like is to be able to see the rest of her tattoo. Well…ask and you shall receive.
