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.

Bosnian Personal Trainer?

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I’m assuming that this is on a personal trainer or weight training instructor (yeah, feel the force of my brilliant deductery) — it was done by Luka who tattoos in Banja, Bosnia which is not a place I regularly receive tattoos from.

    This tattoo makes me giggle. It’s so damn over-the-top! I was reminded of Ice Man when I first saw it (not in terms of design, but just the overall feel) for some strange reason.
