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.

    woot! this is my hand! to clear things up, this was like an hour after this had been finished so my hand was super puffy, hence why it looks a wee bit crusty, trust me it looks fucking great now, even just like 5 days later. and yes i do have an ipod, which I love. I’m actually getting an ipod homage tattoo on my other hand to go with this one. I do find the humor in the fact that I love the iconic image of the cassette, and love the sound and compactness of them as well, but still worship my digital collection. whatta ya gonna do, right?

    I like the irony/contradiction of your idea, praising both old and new at the same time. In a way it makes no sense and in another it makes total sense. Sick tattoo.

    Hate to piss on everyone’s parade, but the process of making cassette tapes actually uses many digital audio means.
    Good tattoo all the same.
