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.

KISS tongue tattoo

Written by

Shannon Larratt

This tongue tattoo is by Alex at Studio Enigma in Queens, Howard Beach. At first I just assumed it was a gimmick, because it says “kiss” and it’s on a tongue, but now that I think of it a bit more, since she’s also got “Poison” tattooed on her lower lip (wait for the BME update later in the week to see that), I’m thinking maybe it’s music inspired?

(Oh, and yes, this will almost certainly fall out fairly quickly).
