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.

    Uh, I just presumed he was a drug user. Seems fairly obvious, though maybe not so funny.

    I agree with Clare… that was my first thought.

    Yeah, I thought the same as Clare, possible double-irony here? Either way – if he meant to get white power & didn’t? It’s funny. If he meant to get “powder” as a crack at them (ooh, a pun), that’s funny too… 🙂

    i highly doubt it’s a drug reference. especially with the bleeding skulls. if it was a mirror with a rolled up hundred dollar bill, instead of the skulls, maybe? never underestimate the stupidity of racists.

    Well, you can slightly see that the D is an R, but I like this version a lot better.

    The D isnt an R its just the style its done it. But still… HAHAHAHHAHA fucking idiot.

    If the D was an R, it’d say POWRER.. That doesn’t make sense either.

    i would have to doubt the tattoo is spelled wrong. just a story we dont understand i think. doesnt mean rascists aint stupid though.

    It would hugely surprise me if this was actually a mis-spelled racist tattoo.

    Based on the quality of the work, I would be surprised if the artist was relatively illiterate.
