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.

I Have Only One Burnin’ Desire

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: attention to composition in photography goes a long way. This photo of prymy3rdeye, with tattoo work by Pat at Atomic Zombie in Edmonton, Alberta, is a perfect example.

    No kidding, as I initially thought “WHAT tattooing?” *pause*

    *stare at photo*

    “Oh, THAT tattooing! Yes it’s very nice. …And not part of the sofa she’s sitting on.”

    I can only see part of the tattoo, and the septum ring is hard to see closely as well. The picture is framed nicely, but other than that, I don’t see how it is a very good representation of her body modifications.
