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.

Your Luck Was Still There

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Mamma Tomma of Raven Ink: Studio 2 Tattoo in Portland, Oregon, sends in this picture of a piece she did of nature’s most perfect killing machine. A murderous lion? No. Elephant on PCP? Nope. Chimpanzee on Xanax and Sleepytime Tea? Wrong again. It’s a rabbit, armed with blades, furious about the attention bestowed upon some damned chinchilla. You underestimate the vengeance of a rabbit scorned at your own peril.

    Yikes… That’s…. not the most well done tattoo, I hate to say it 🙁 The lineart is quite poor, and the coloring is kind of abysmal… Cute concept, though! Maybe a second session could straighten it out 🙂
