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.

“This is my second tattoo, which I got about a year ago. It’s the most beautiful equation in mathematics. Oddly, I happened to run into a guy at a party who had the same tattoo! I mean, what are the chances?!”

I wonder if they got together and made some beautiful equations of their own? I certainly hope so.
