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.

Barbie Boy!

Written by

I love the contrast between this Black Angel tattoo (based on a song from The Cult’s album, Love) and the Barbie logo (remember?) on his belly..

Black Angel by Karin, Inkstitution, Rotterdam, Netherlands.

    There is a shop in Calgary Ab, called “The Barbie Shop” and it is full of corsets and stuff like that and Barbie the toy company sued them because they used there name.
    But it turned out that the lady who own’s the shop her name is Barbie and thats the only reason she won the law suite ….. Would be interesting to see what would happen if they saw this… or if anything at all …
