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.

Knitting Ninja

Having dabbled with knitting over the years (rather inexpertly) this tattoo on Casey makes me feel quite envious of people with nimble fingers, both knitters and tattooists alike!

    Wow this is my tattoo! But why were the colors adjusted from the original submission? I think this over-sautuation was unnecessary.
