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 think everything in general gets my vote of approval!

    No wait.. the shoes don’t.. the tattoos and photography and the hat and stuff get my approval though.

    heretic138 – I took a lot more photographs that day so if you ask him nicely he might be willing to share more.

    Alternativly, I did a feature on the band in Skin Deep a few issues ago where you get to see more of the ink.

    Hope that helps
