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.

Celtic Colonel Sanders Tattoo

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I just got this email from Ryan at Precision Body Arts, and had to share it right away —

Subject: a weird ass KFC tattoo

This was so bizarre I had to send it along. Nik Kelley (iam:rabid muntjac) got bored here and drew up a KFC Colonel Sanders made out of Celtic chickens, then he somehow talked one of his friends into getting it tattooed on him that same day.

    And it’s surprisingly large (it seems at leats) considering the friend had to be convinced to have it put on him.
