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.

    Woodys are awesome, and this is a very nice tattoo, and I kind of agree with what peace said, but I imagine that not many people submit work from Woodys in comparison to work submitted from studios in the USA. It’s just cool that another tattoo studio that I’ve heard of and that is near me has been featured. =]

    Yeah, Woody’s studio is one of the best studio’s in the S.E. England. I’ve seen some absolutely stunning work come out of that studio. I used to live in Watford, around the corner from High Wycombe but have now moved to the North West England. Sadly too far from Woody’s now 🙁

    Oh, and to all Americans, it’s pronounced ‘High Wi koom’, not ‘High Why com bee’ lol.

    this does look based off a tattoo flash/print Tom (my husband) made for me to sell on my website. You can see the print here http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2007/12/diy_tattoo_flash_print.html He tattoos and I sew.
    We have seen a few people getting tattoos from it, which is fun to stumble upon!. He currently works at Classic Electric Tattoo in Frederick MD. His flickr is http://flickr.com/photos/thomaskenney
