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.

Anatomically Correct Unicorn

Written by

Last week I mentioned Jimmy‘s drunken party beers, beers, beers tattoo. Today I wanted to show the much cruder half of his leg. This one is actually not by drunk buddies though, it’s by Mitch Perkins at Big Brad’s Tattoo in New Jersey.

    To Yeah:
    you’re a moron..
    People don’t get tattoos for “their mothers”.. (Unless it’s a memorial or whatever..) And more than like this dude’s mom probably knows what kind of jokester this guy is and loves him regardless!

    you’re a dick…
    I don’t think “yeah…” was implying anything you just said. I’m on the other side. I’m a father with a “graphic” tattoo and my kid’s too young to be affected (2 months :)), but to this day my own mother doesn’t know. I obviously didn’t get it for her, that’s a little sick. But I’m 31 and still know my ass would get whupped if she saw it. I also do wonder how others mothers react. Like “Oh Johnny, I think the penis on your leg has a very nice pleasurable shape to it, but couldn’t you add more veins to the shaft?” or “*Gasp* get the hell out of my house you sick pervert *faint*” I think its a legitimate “I wonder” situation.

    Graphically tattooed basically got what I was trying to say. I wasn’t judging the tattoo at all. Infact I find it amusing, esp since unicorns generally represent purity. It was more of a light hearted comment than anything else anyway. Plus, sometimes I actually do think about random stuff like that. Admit it, the expressions so cliched someone had to say it 😛
