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.

Generate In The Sun

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


And finally, gentle readers, let’s end today with a tasty tribute to fruits, vegetables and other various non-meat products, courtesy of the very talented Dyrti Al, who can be found tattooing organic goodies—among other things, presumably—at Electric Pencil in South Lake Tahoe, California. BME, of course, if nothing else, supports clean living, so on behalf of Dyrti Al, your local green grocer, produce farmers everywhere, new-school tattooing as a general aesthetic movement, four out of five dentists and Dead Prez, we wish you a good night.

Tattoo Hollywood, BME’s first tattoo convention, is coming to Los Angeles from August 21-23, featuring contests, prizes and some of the best artists from around the world! Click here for more information.

    Maybe those veggies were the special veggies one might find at a Rainbow gathering. I enjoy these tattoos. The white looks fantastic.

    Food tattoos are some of my favorite. The spots on the back make the entire thing look very galactic.

    after looking at Dyrti Al’s portfolio on myspace, I am happy this girl went with a food tattoo instead of a biomech piece.
