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.

Funtimes at the beach

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Neek recently had this “Curiouser and Curiouser” tattoo added by Patrick at World’s End in Zurich (although Neek’s was done at H’s place in Cardiff)… He explains, “I love the two Alice in Wonderland books, and I love gaining more knowledge.”

    i hart alice in wonderland *has an alice-sleeve-in-progress* . it’s pretty much the best thing ever.

    i once read that the alice books are the third most quoted thing in the english language — after the works of shakespeare, and the bible.

    I’d actually really love to see a closeup of that poesy ring. My wife and I have them, when we decided to get rings back in 2004 (since we can’t get legally married) we looked at a bunch of different sayings. We ended up with A VILA MON ♥ GARDI LI MO which is Old French for “Here is my Heart, Guard it Well” – assuming my ♥ symbol shows up in the comment!
