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.

Red Sox Stitching Tattoo

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I had to look at this Boston Red Sox tattoo a few times to convince myself it was real — I thought it might be painted in place! This is a fresh photo, but I’m inclined to say that it’s going to look a lot like it was embroidered in place when it’s all healed as well. This was done by Krystof at Pisst Fish Tattoo & Piercing in West Springfield, MA.

    I can’t believe i’m the only one who doesn’t like this tatoo. You can definitely tell that it is supposed to look embroidered. There is NO doubt about that. BUT, it does, however, look like the worst embroidered Red Sox “B” anyone has ever seen. Embroidery doesn’t really look like that — at all. There is one small section of the tattoo that looks like real embroidery and that is NOT the texture of the entire tatoo. It’s not the worst piece of crap i’ve ever seen but it’s MOST CERTAINLY NOT awe-inspiring like a lot of people are making it out to be.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced

    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
