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.

Jellyfish Lips

Written by

Rob

The vast majority of lip tattoos that I’ve seen consist of a single word or initials in black ink, with the occasional small symbol added for emphasis.  Then there are the exceptions, just like this jellyfish lip that Jonas from Hayd Tattoo in Schramberg, Germany did.  For a location that traditionally is used with a minimalistic design, to see a full color piece is a great change of pace.

You can check out the full sized image, as well as more lip tattoos, in the lip tattoo gallery.

    also just because this isnt dentistblog.com doesnt mean we shouldnt point out the state of the gums, gum erosion like that could be caused by his piercings + lack of dental care

    My lower gumline looks a little bit like that because my labret had issues and I ended up removing it after only 2 months. My gums healed up, but never grew upwards since. I don’t however have tartar buildup and stuff like that.

    I’d like to see a pic after it’s healed to see if the tattoo holds up.

For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
