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.

Moose knuckles…

Written by

Shannon Larratt

You know, I think I actually have an entire gallery dedicated to “camel toe” tattoos (seriously), but this is the first “moose knuckle” tattoo I’ve seen (don’t know what that is?). This was done by Johannes at Chronic Tattoo in San Diego, California…

    I laughed my ass of at this. Mostly because, where I am from a moose knuckle is what we call it when a really big girl has a camel toe.

    We have a larger girl in the office who wears tight pants and she does not have the standard camel toe but a larger hoof so that has become her nickname “Hoof”.
