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.

I don’t want to be too pervy here because she likes girls, but when I saw this photo of Ahna ((pronounced on-uh and featured previously) I got all enthusiastic, about stuff, and things..

Read more to see a radically different style and her Cardinal (Kingfisher? Kookaburra?! I like birds but I’m no ornithologist) tattoo, which I’ll update you on once it’s finished.

    It is 100% absolutely a Cardinal, they’re my favorite birds. I’m getting a cardinal tattoo as well and I’ve been watching the progress of that tattoo, no idea it belonged to such a lovely lady.

    Ahna is very pretty in both pics, but I do like the dreadlock one a little better. I think the bird is either a cardinal or a waxwing.
