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.

Guinness Pint Glass Tattoo

Written by

Shannon Larratt

This one is done by Dave Crossley at Caledonia Sun Tattoos in Stirling, Scotland. I don’t think it’s a coverup but I could swear I can see a woman’s torso in the bottom right… Well, I guess it’s just subliminal advertising.

    Right in the centre, at the bottom I can see the lower half of a slightly drooping ‘wang’ with one side of a horizontal glans piercing.

    But maybe that’s just me :).

    Oh and I can’t see the woman for the life of me.

    I hope this isn’t a psychological test, haha.

    Not that I mind failing.

    I see a naked person that appears to be dry humping/ stradling something inside the glass. Weird.

    I see a naked woman with her back turned, leaning on a pole.

    Hey, this is fun. Do you know of any Rorschach Test tattoos?
