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 Towering Sail

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Well hey, we’ve featured this lovely ship-sleeved lady before! Except instead of getting all dolled up or enjoying a fruity beverage, here she is pulling off some black and white Blue Steel shit, draped in some sort of modeling cloth, making sweet, sweet love to that camera. Works for us. Works for us, indeed.

(Tattoo by Scott Forbes at Oceanic Art in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.)

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.
