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.

A tattoo worthy of wearing a v-neck tee

Written by

Sean Philips

Seriously, I HATE v-neck shirts, but this tattoo may very well be able to justify the wearing one of those godforsaken things.

Adam’s “Mighty Throat Goat” was done by Zack Ross at No Surrender Studios in San Marcos,  TX.

PS: You may remember this piece was featured previously here, but it’s now finished with background and worthy of an update post.

For a straight on view, keep on keeping on.

    I love the colors and shading! I think I’m going to check out this shop for my next tattoo…how much did you pay for this to be completed? (San Marcos is kinda far from me, and I need to save up enough before I drive down there)

    SS, it’s the shop I work for when I’m in Texas, Zack charges around 120 an hour but always gives really good deals on big stuff, he does mostly sleeves and large peices like this.
