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.

This Week in BME


“Mommy, can I go out and kill tonight?”

“Now, now, you know what day it is. Just go pull your sister’s hair and burn the cat’s tail before bed.”

Sigh. Better luck next time, little buddy.

(Tattoo on Medic by Dave at Pikes Peak Tattoo in Colorado Springs, Colorado.)

And just like that, our broadcast week comes to a close. What kind of mischief was there this time?

The unholy trinity of scarification appeared…to mixed results.

“Guess What?” made its triumphant return with a tough challenge.

Alice is more man than we could ever hope to be.

Hey, these scarifications are healing rather nicely!

(This one, too.)

The ihung team made good use of this mysterious alien structure that landed in someone’s backyard.

This wildlife sleeve is as real as it gets.

Well…hello.

And that’s that. We’ll be here over the weekend as per usual, hopefully getting a few updates from this weekend’s Dallas SusCon, and maybe even taking a break to enjoy this beautiful patio weather.

I can’t help but feel like we’re forgetting something, though…

Oh yeah, happy birthday to Allen and Rachel!

Happy Birthday Allen!

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Many happy returns of the day to the both of you kids. For the rest of you all, have a good weekend, be safe and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.

    To marc, the comedy part of it is that Friday 13th only happens so often, so he didn’t get to go out and kill like he wanted to.
