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.

It’s Got Its Own

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Well, here’s a nice young fella, hmm? Big stretched lobes and nostrils, a little scruffy, hair of which your editor is slightly jealous, but beyond that, we know almost nothing about him! No name, no word of his location…is he just being mysterious, or does this handsome stranger have something to hide?

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.
