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.

“This Little Piggy” Toe Tattoos!

Written by

Shannon Larratt

BRILLIANT!!!

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went…
“Wee wee wee” all the way home…

Tattooed by Rush at Freestyle Tattoo in Canberra, Australia (and based on an idea by carl-jay posted three days earlier) — Teulu adds, “the photo of this little piggy on my hairy foot was taken three days after the fact, and I still havent stopped laughing.”

    Yeah, it’s funny, etc etc etc.

    But 36 comments and not a single one expressing concern for the fact that in 3 weeks, it’ll look like mangled garbage?

    I know that’s not the point of a funny tattoo, but it should still be somewhat considered. I mean, it looks well done, and it is kind of funny, but most of that is going to fall out, and then even once it’s healed, the ink is going to spread over the years.

    Enjoy it while it lasts, ’cause it’ll be gone soon!

    that dustin character is rather negative :\

    I think it’s a brilliant tattoo idea and wish I had thought of it myself!
    Enjoy it forever, no matter what #38 says.

    its already faded a bit in places so a touch up is in order. Rush warned me that it would fade like a mofo but goddamn its worth it. the idea came up on a tuesday and the ink went in on the friday – it was a case of “awesome idea, needs to be done asafp before anyone else does it”.
    either way muitas obrigados for the comments and the concerns and big fat props to Carl-jJay for the idea.
