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.

Tree Head

Written by

RooRaaah Crumbs

Katherine treeted herself to this tattoo to celebrate the fact that she’s sticking with university despite saying she would never go. Also, she thinks the idea of a girl with a tree for a head is pretty cool!*
