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.

Back in Black(light)

Written by

It’s been a while since we’ve seen UV ink tattoos on ModBlog, and while there have been advances in the inks, I’m sure there are still two sides to the debate as to whether or not to use them.  Putting the debate to the side, this UV ink chest piece sent in by Kreynold is pretty impressive.  If you can’t read the writing it says “I am Blessed” above a crown.

    I’ve always liked the uv tattoos personally, but haven’t seen one with this much detail. It looks beautiful to be honest.

    i think uv tattoos are much less painful then other tattoo piercing but a bit danger for the sideeffects from the uv ink maybe!
