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.

“Milpool” Tattoo

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Oh my God I love this!!! Meaghan was getting her chestpiece touched up recently, and she was chatting with her artist about things that would be funny tattoos. And, as often happens in these situations, a spur of the moment tattoo ensued…

Being a big Simpsons fan, I mentioned the episode “Bart of Darkness,” where Bart breaks his leg and Milhouse signs his cast “Milpool” and runs off to go swimming. We were both laughing so hard about it that I insisted on getting it tattooed on me there and then. Now, every time I look at it, I crack up.

Definitely one of the more obscure Simpsons tattoos out there… But Caitlin and I — who both got a laugh when this popped up on my screen yesterday — agree; very funny.

    That’s a really cute tattoo!

    I’ve been thinking of a “Boo-urns” tattoo…Or maybe a vanity plate.
    Also a good one, Milhouse name related; “THRILLHO”. Heehee!
