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 Sea Was Red and the Sky Was Grey

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


So, here’s a secret. Are you ready? Miss Martin is an assassin. It’s true! It’s true. How else would you explain, first, this collection of cute as hell cupcake tattoos, and now this heart-explodingly adorable sushi tattoo? There is a very real pattern developing here, and I think it’s safe to say that this menace will not rest until she has slain us, all of us, with her agonizingly sweet tattoos.

(Dear Miss Martin, please keep sending in your tattoos.)

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.

    Thank you for being a friend
    Traveled down the road and back again
    Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant.
    And if you through a party
    Invited everyone you ever knew
    You would see the biggest gift would be from me
    And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.

    SUSHI!
