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.

Great film-themed tattoo

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I don’t know the artist credit on this — Sibylline snapped it at the 2006 London Tattoo Convention — but I just love the way the filmstrip is being used to break up the tattoo… It’s going to look great when it’s finished (it looks great already). Anyway, if anyone knows the artist credit, please post it.

    I saw it being inked. It’s wonderful.
    It’s from Stéphane Chaudesaigues booth at the convention, the reknowned tattooer from France, now with a new studio in Paris.

    I love the way the colour sleeve and the black and gray sleeve work together. An amazing concept.

    Crazy, living in Europe I recognized it as Stéphane Chaudesaigues’ work immediately. If it isn’t somone is doing some amazing style copying.

    Man ! It’s Amazing !
    I’m discovering your blog, and decided to read it all.
    And then, I saw this photo from a friend of mine 😀
    The Tatoo is much more beautiful in real, and it isn’t finished in this pics !

    I’ll try to get one with the finished tatoo.
    The world’s so small.

    Some suspensions are planned down to the last detail—others arise suddenly, yet carry just as much meaning.

    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension.

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.

    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting.
