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.

Making waves

Our final international post of the day comes from Mistertom. They’re doing implants underneath the black tattoos if it wasn’t obvious. I’m going to try to post some photos of two tattooed folk hanging out in Hawai’i if I can get the internet to let me upload more photos. Thanks for the underwater camera photo tips from all you camera pros out there. I appareciate it!

    20. Hotchie: not impossible, just not pro. Work first, then play. Implants a still going to be available for photos after the clean up. Seems like the photos of finished work should happen when bio- is cleaned up, as you still have risk sitting on the table. So yes, he could put on new gloves, but it would be ever so slightly more pro if the table was cleaned up first… thats all.

    27. Smallest Paul: Before you clean up the bio/bpp you have to cover the implants with gas and tape so you throw away all the bio/bpp together. It’s kind of hard to take a photo of the work when it’s covered. Since you don’t touch the work with your hands and the (in this case) Iphone it’s no risk of contaminating anything.
