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.

    Wow, I totally missed the bud in the back until I read the comments, too! Looks like one I saw growing on a private farm last summer…. (no, not THAT kind of farm!) Quite honestly, I am not fond of this tattoo.
