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.

Never Bashful

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


I have to confess, when I hear the term “Buttergina,” I think of something…well, something that isn’t this. But hey, this is indeed a worthy addition to the pantheon of bizarrely explicit tattoos we’ve featured on these hallowed pages. This one was done by David Pozo out of Forevermore Tattoo Parlour in Glasgow, Scotland. “It’s a Buttergina!” the wearer explains, proudly, we assume. “Four hours of misery, really.” But a lifetime of smiles, am I right? Right. Feel free to share your most beloved animal/genital mash-up tattoos in the comments.

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.
