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.

“Fat Supermodel”

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Check out Omniphiliac‘s new tattoo (from the name, I guess he’s either in love with everything, or it’s Ben Bova — sorry, is that reference too obscure?)… The illustration is by Attaboy, and it was tattooed by Fish at Black’n’Blue in San Francisco, CA.

Are you gonna take me home tonight
All down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rockin’ world go round!

    I may be wrong, but isn’t the song “Fat Bottomed Girls” about closetted gay men? 😉

    Ah, Ben Bova, I haven’t heard that name in years.
    Maybe it’s time for a trip to the bookstore…

    You know, I also have a tattoo by Fish featuring fat-bottomed girls!

    Just for posterity, anyway, she isn’t at Black & Blue anymore. She’s in art school, which she needs like a cat needs sleeping lessons.

    I keep noticing that tattoo on this page and thinking that I love it. I’m not into bigger body types IRL, but she is an adorable little tatto 🙂
