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.

But then again, cooks are a funny breed..

    I thought that the first tattoo in the click through was a weird little face smiling, I really can’t see what it’s meant to be from this angle!

    Hey Roo! Have to take issue with you about “cooks are a funny breed”. Surely anyone working to twenty different deadlines at once in a hot and sometimes dangerous environment is allowed some quirky behaviour from time to time.
    End of rant!
    Very much like the tattoos – nice and bold. Wish I could decide if they’re located on his arms or his legs though!
