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 battle of good and evil, Ninja Turtle style.

Written by

Sean Philips

I am a sucker for serious tattoos done in a silly manner or silly tattoos done in a serious manner.  This tribute to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters Splinter and Shredder, definitely falls into the later category.
