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.

The World is Moving

Written by

Well hey, it’s Gothenburg, Sweden’s own Wille, he of Barbarella Body Piercing, showing off, among other adornments, those 22 mm. lobes, self-done lowbrets and some manner of fancy dread-tail. He is, however, clearly suspicious of something. Or he’s giving you the Evil Eye. Or someone in his general vicinity is gassy. Some mysteries just aren’t meant to be solved, I suppose.

Tattoo Hollywood, BME’s first tattoo convention, is coming to Los Angeles from August 21-23, featuring contests, prizes and some of the best artists from around the world! Click here for more information.
