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.

Minimalist Tattoo Project

Written by

Shannon Larratt

On a technical level, Lincoln’s tattoo was assisted by Laci at Tattoo Tradition in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I like what he’s doing a lot, both on a conceptual art level, and on a visual art level.

“The discovery of line.”

“Homage to the three jewels and my root guru.”

“Lines to write haiku:
Observations and others
inscriptions about transitoriness.”
