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 admit I’m mostly swayed by the pinup

Written by

Shannon Larratt

This may be one of my favorite “geek tattoos” yet, an Internet-themed sleeve by Jason Ostricher at Talisman Tattoo in Modesto, California. It’s got everything! A monitor with dB schema, RJ-45 cables, 1011011 binary, the Web, and of course every nerd’s fantasy, a sexy Catholic schoolgirl on a laptop with a dress a little too short…

You can find more pictures of Jesse’s tattoos at KingJes.com (click on Pictures then on Tattoos).
