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.

And here we have Cynn, showing off her ever-expanding floral bodysuit. This time around? The throat and face. A couple more shots, after the jump.

    I believe it is an earring in her nostril. I love floral tattoos, the purple smokey business she has going on works reeeaally well with this.

    I’m not that impressed, to be honest :\ The actual quality of the tattoos seems kinda so-so

    #17: yeah, you’re right, but speaking of design & placement… I mean, whoah.

    Most of the line work around the face and head looks really wonky and well, just not that great.

    I really like the idea behind the bodsuit….a body of flowers, something natural, something pretty and feminine yet bold due to the sheer amount of work and the areas it covers…
    🙂 beautiful.

    Although, agreed with Laura and Donna; the tattoo isn’t exactly prize winningly perfect, but it’s pretty good…Agreed on the fact some of the lines arent well executed or colour isnt fantastic, but it’s still beautiful 🙂

    …And to Johnny, by the looks of her lobes, the jewelry in them has been ripped and maybe in construction?

    …lol. i r have too much times on hands.
