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.

Disaster, pictured on the left, has this great JAM OUT WITH YOUR CLAM OUT foot tattoo by Bobby Tripp at Electric Tattoo in Edmonton, AB. I couldn’t find a ROCK OUT WITH YOUR COCK OUT tattoo in recent submissions, so I’ll share male tattoo number two, a sacred cheeseburger and fries by Adam Harris at New Tribe in Brixham, Devon UK.

    Ash’s Clam Out tattoo is the sauciest tattoo I’ve ever seen. Ever saucier than that guy with the vagnia on his neck you posted last week!

    I absolutely love the Clam one.
    Maybe I just live in a shell, (ha) but I’ve never heard the phrase before, and it’s about time we had an equivalent to “Rock Out with Your Cock Out”.
