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.

Your Flesh Means More Than You, whatever that means

Written by

Sean Philips

“Your flesh means more than you”, I have no clue what that’s supposed to mean, but it sure sounds deep!  Anyhow, I like the design of this scar and the wording seems to tie in well even if it’s meaning is a bit over my head.

This piece comes to us from Rato at Guru Tattoo in Portugal. For a few closeups, keep on keeping on.
