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 love it!!! I wish I could think of a great idea for a couple tattoo like a binary star system… problem is, my boyfriend doesn’t want a tattoo. 🙁

    Ha ha! Yeah, matching tats always seems like a good idea. I have three which are also walking around on previous boyfriends, one of which is on the instep of my right foot (an engagement token). My current b/f calls me the Hall of Fame. He also says he doesn’t want us to get maching tattoos since it seems to doom my relationships 😀
