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.

I guess this is largely reflective of my lack of knowledge on stretchy-pants, but I had no idea that you could pull them up like this (or maybe they’ve been cut?). That’s the first thing I thought when I saw this photo of an in-progress geisha tattoo by Vasagho at his shop Ink-In Tattoo Crew in beautiful Marbella, Malaga, Spain…

    Ahh. Sick of hearing the ‘leg sleeve/pant’ debate everytime a tattoo like this is posted. It’s boring!

    Absolutely stunning tattoo. And is it shallow to think hot ass as well…
