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.

Star and RockyRoad got these matching White Castle slider buddy tattoos, done by Cindy Solano at No Ka Oi in Philadelphia, PA. By the way, if you want to be in a book about buddy tattoos, here’s a book on the subject that’s in progress and looking for submissions.

In equally unhealthy territory, Kalvin got this “cream cheese and chives” Captain’s Wafers tattoo, done by Ol’ Dirty Rob at Anthem Tattoo in Gainesville, Florida. He explains the design choice, saying, “I just really like these crackers. They’re heavenly. I’m a pirate…”

    Kalvin had damn well better be getting free cases of those crackers now. Heck, I can think of a few bands that I’d gladly have a tattoo of in return for a few cases of product. o_O
