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.

Futurama Tattoo Sleeves

Written by

Thanks to Daniel for sending me this sleeve of Bender, Fry, Nibbler, and others from the awesome show Futurama. As I understand it, Daniel is currently in Ireland training to be a hitman, assuming I’m not misinterpreting the name of his school.
