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.

Happens All The Time

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Ha, so, is it just me or have the comments been a touch more vitriolic this week than they have been in a while? Well, no matter—let’s all take a load off with this nicely stippled slice of mystic pizza (the food, not the poor-man’s Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, that is) by Simon Erl at Hope and Glory in Swaffham, Norfolk, England, who was last seen riling folks up with this radical propaganda. This, though? This is the pizza that the Illuminati eats, when the New World Order assembles to plan the next few hundred years of human existence, in space. Now that’s a spicy pedigree.

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.
