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.

Flight of the Locust

Written by

Rob

When it comes to distinct styles, Ania from Szerytattoo in Poland has a style that just jumps right out at you.  If you remember back in January, I posted a fantastic octopus piece by her.  This time we have her interpretation of a locust in flight.  mOshpit_panda, the owner of the tattoo, made the trip to Warsaw specifically to get it done in Ania’s distinct style.

Ania doesn’t have her own portfolio gallery yet, so for now you can see this and some of her other works in the miscellaneous tattoo gallery.
