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.

Passion & Ink

Written by

Jen Savage

You may have noticed a lack of posts today. Rob was off dealing with some personal things today so he wasn’t able to do any posts. I hope this sort of makes up for the quiet.

couple

This photo was submitted by the photographer, CHRISMDAY. I don’t know if this is a real couple or just something they did for a photoshoot but the passion sure looks real! I love the contrast between her colourful sleeve and his black and grey tattoos. I don’t have any information about the artists who did the ink otherwise I’d share.

Rob should be back with us tomorrow.

    Cool photo. Well done body language, whether it’s real or posed. Nice and subtle; the only thing making it “passion” instead of “comforting” is the parted lips.

    I like this shot, it’s intimate, it looks genuine without resorting to being vulgar or cheesy. I think her sleeve is bright and beautiful. There is nothing about this I don’t like.
