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.

Poker Hand Tattoo

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Ceilidhcrossbones‘s set of card suits tattooed across the inside of her fingers, done at SkinLine in Redruth, are pretty funny…

Anyway. I’m done posting here for the weekend, but I have some very cool stuff to post to BME (admittedly thanks to help from Sarge and Marisa, not due to my own efforts), either tomorrow or Sunday (depending on when Jon goes fishing). Well, good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.

    For three months he said that. “Good night Westley, good work, sleep well, I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” It was a fine time for me – I was learning to calculate TAGs, figure adjusts, anything anyone would teach me. Roberts and I eventually became friends.

    He’s only mostly dead. If he were all dead, the only thing to do with him would be to search through his pockets for loose change.

    Best movie ever.

    Casey, you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
