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.

Slap Them on the Wrist

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Sorry about the downtime earlier, folks. I think some geese got sucked into the server’s engines or something. At any rate, Matt sends in this photo of a recent tattoo of his by Rush at Freestyle Tattoo in Canberra, Australia—dedicated, he says, to a woman who changed his life.
