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.

    I think this is the only couple’s tattoo I’ve ever liked… For whatever reason I think it’s just adorable.

    That’s comparable to the couple who got magnetic implants in their hands. I LOVE the sentiment!
