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.

Erika’s Camera Tattoo

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Erika writes about her tattoo by Sean Best in Toronto, “The most exciting things usually happened when I was taking pictures, so I dedicated a tattoo to my camera. I decided to get it on my neck so it can also work as a surveillance camera that watches my back for me.”
