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.

On the left is a “Mexican Mama of Doom” by Mike Moses at Salvation Gallery Tattoos in Richmond, VA, and on the right is Lui’s patch by Brian at Inflicting Ink Tattoo in Portsmouth, RI. He writes, “This not only represents my heritage, but it also drives me to finish what I start — stop at nothing to achieve your goals.”

    Oh good, now the racists have discovered ModBlog. How wonderful.

    Mexicans, having FAR more indigenous blood in them than the average American, have more right to this land than we do, if we’re going to play stupid and deceitful games of laying claim to a landmass by the color of our skin or what it says on our passports.
