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.

Better Than Ladybugs

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


I’m not exactly going out on a limb with this opinion, but I really like Brittney‘s James and the Giant Peach-inspired half-sleeve by Rabbit Abby, who can currently be found at Colt’s Timeless Tattoos in Appleton, Wisconsin.

    Oh My Goodness. Love. Such Love. For the person who would get a james and the giant peach tattoo as much as for the beautiful piece itself.
