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.

The First Time I Got it I Was Just Ten Years Old

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


So, we’ve previously discussed the inherent evil of cats, but fine, this shot of NeverendingLust and Mrs. Norris (guess who’s who!) is pretty cute, I guess. A closer shot of his work-in-progress torso tattoo by Brad Brown of Trouble Bound Tattoos in St. John’s, Newfoundland, after the jump.

    I personally love the Lion King tattoo alot more.
    But that may just be because that’s my favorite movie ever.

    #13 it’s Mufasa, not mustafa. “Mufasa Mufasa Mufasa!” and yeah, the Lion King sleeve is pretty much one of the best things I’ve ever seen, ever.

    I’d fuck him, and I’m a straight guy. Any guy with enough honesty and compassion to love a cat (a feminine being) and to be…. that hot deserves love from both sexes. Sorry girls, this guy can join me whenever he wants, I’ll be waiting man.
