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.

    Are fruit skins in any way similar to human in that they could be used for practice?

    The somewhat obvious answer to your question would be “yes”.

    Sweet picture!

    Yeah. I interviewed a tattoo artist for my local newspaper a few years ago and she said she practiced on oranges before she went to inking herself and her friends.

    Obviously, it is possible to tattoo fruit. I was wondering if it was viable for practice. I can draw on peoples’ arms with markers, but I wouldn’t consider myself ready to tattoo them.

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.
