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.

Tool/Schism Tattoo

Written by

Shannon Larratt

This is definitely one of those tattoos that’s got to have made the tattoo artist totally cross-eyed with a splitting headache by the end of it! I think Jayson McDaniel at Animal House in Pearl, Mississippi probably handles stress a lot better than me…

    Ive been thinking of getting a tattoo in the theme of “Ride The Spiral” but cant think of any cool ideas besides some sort of spring looking thing with a guy holding onto it. If anyone is a talented artist and wouldnt mind giving me any kind of artwork pertaining to my problem I would appreciate it very much.

    This is one really neat tattoo, but ya’ll should see some of the others he has done! Although he isn’t with Animal House anymore, he’s now working in Atlanta. Jason has been talented all his life and it is really showing up in his work now. I know because—I’m his mother! Great job Jason!
