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.

The Truth is Out There

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Mouse got her “first” X-Files tattoo (can’t wait to see the future ones, because she’s definitely into the X-Files big time, and I used to be a big fan although I haven’t watched it in repeats) at Indigo Studios in Norfolk, UK… In a way it reminds me of the Forever Knight tattoos that I posted ages ago to my personal blog…

    Love it. I thought about getting an Xf tattoo for awhile, but could never settle on a design. I had a friend who was an early fan and got a UFO tattoo to match the one the barkeeper had in the first season episode “Conduit.”

    I have a XF tattoo, too. It says “I want to believe.” From Mulder’s UFO poster.
