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.

Written by

Rob

This week has been pretty tattoo heavy on ModBlog so to make up for it, today will be all scars.  Starting off is a scarification piece over blackwork from Mr. Decker.

    Is it normal for it to be that deep? I’ve never seen a scar from this angle before

    These brandings are actually less deep than the ink.

    Brian, do you have a photo of the healed one from before at this stage? It looks like some of the ink fell out really, really nicely. This one looks very, very awesome.
