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.

Made of Meat

Written by

bennynerd (featured previously) sent in this shot of her baby brothers insides.. I wonder if he’ll tattoo food within the outlines?

By Heath Rave, Captive Elements (I’m not going to mention why the combination of the studio name and the tattoo above made me laugh), Blaine, MN.

    This is the kind of tattoo I think I could appreciate only as an outline.
    I feel that if it is filled in it will lose it’s appeal, for me atleast.

    At any extent, in it’s current state, it looks great!

    I dunno, I think a few well-placed and well-chosen foods (in the state they would have entered in; realistic would just be disturbing) would be kind of funny. It’s good, though. The navel made me twitch a bit until I realized that it wasn’t a part of the tattoo XD

    This tattoo reminds me of my favorite chapter of any book. The chapter Guts in the book Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk.
