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.

Beautiful Monsters

Written by

Shannon Larratt

She’s covered in super cool work of all kinds and I think has one of the boldest personal styles of anyone I know in a sort of exotic beauty meets noble savage meets science fiction vibe, but I think that my favorite tattoo in some ways that my friend la negra in Argentina has are her stitched on heart patches on her knees… So cute!

    I really like la negra’s stomach tattooing, it fits her anatomy well and kind of has a corset thing going on. Nice!
