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.

Bride of Christ

Gotta love nuns and their special relationship with Jesus. See the Shadark bonus gallery in BME/HARD for more in this series.

    I was in no way COMPARING the histories of Christianity and Atheism. I was comparing the treatment of the subscribers to said religions. Just because other people hundreds of years ago killed in the name of Christ doesn’t mean that I should be bashed for believing in the Bible today.

    I don’t blame people for disliking Christianity, but I don’t like being attacked on account of my religion. I come to Mod Blog because I love piercings, I love tattoos, and I love this community that is so accepting to all people. We as a people always wish that everyone were more tolerant of our mods, so why are so many people so intolerant of Christianity?

    I’m sorry if you took my comment the wrong way. I’m not even really offended by this picture, only by the things people were saying about Christians.

    And #42, go read Shannon’s article “Does God hate your tattoo?”. You might learn something.

    “what’s so offensive about a vagina? most women only put things that they really like in their vaginas”

    Exactly!

    Going on about how this is “offensive” sure gives away some people’s real feelings about vaginas, dunnit?

    If you want to disrespect Christian religious practice, shove a knight of the crusade up your twat. This is a place for acceptance (or at least tolerance), not childish shenanigans with other people’s holy symbols.

    I respect that this lady has the right to shove Jesus wherever she pleases, but the fact that so many people here believe that it’s exactly what that symbol deserves freaks me out.

    “I respect that this lady has the right to shove Jesus wherever she pleases, but the fact that so many people here believe that it’s exactly what that symbol deserves freaks me out.”

    Why *wouldn’t* it deserve being in a vagina? What is inherently degrading or disrespectful about being in a vagina?

    I think what bothers you is hateful speech and disrespectful attitudes about the religion or deity in question. Being in a vagina does not equate to either of those things.

    Frankly, smug non-Christians who say “Ha ha! that’s exactly where it belongs!’ as if being in a vagina is somehow being brought low, irritate me just as much as the Christians saying “Excuse me, that’s offensive.”

    Kristin – The problem here is that the symbol of Christ on the cross is inherent in the faith of Christianity and is in no way a sexual symbol. Placing such a symbol of religious faith inside the vagina gives it a sexual context where previously there was none. It reduces the crucifixion down to a symbol of pure lust and self satisfaction. Being in the vagina is of no consequence, it could be in the anus or down the urethra and hold the same sentiment.

    Frankly this kind of immature lust for attention has been done hundreds of years back and more outrageously.

    This is a very dull image compared to some of the great works of tattooing that were included in the same set of updates but it seems a woman’s genitals get the list more excited than great works of body art.
