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.

Tattoo Keyword Galleries on BME

Sorry for no posts today! I’ve been fiddling with software. On the backend, my image processing software now tells me about your current memberships, so hopefully now I won’t be granting any more secondary memberships that are shorter than the one you already have! I know that’s got to be very annoying.

On the frontend, I’ve been playing a little with my long promised “auto-keywording” utility for BME… I’ve installed it in the tattoo section. The “next/prev” links at the top are broken right now for multi-word galleries but that’ll be fixed tomorrow, and everything else should work. I think it’s quite fun, and gives a new way to explore the galleries… For example, there are now galleries for:

Remember, some of the top ‘<<’ and ‘>>’ links will be broken until tomorrow.

And, to illustrate this entry, a tattoo I’ve been meaning to feature for some time, Tyler‘s “Bloody Hanya” (like the shirt), a BME logo designed by Johann, with blood by me!

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension.
