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.

Lounging, like Richard Cheese

Megan Smith sent us this simple, yet striking picture along with the following information:

The thigh tattoos are about a month old in the pic, and done by Ben at Tattoo City in Wellington, NZ. I took the photo myself with trusty Mr Tripod and Mr Self Timer. Also visible are my 1/2″ ears and half of my paired arm tattoos.

    I’d like to take her out for a nice seafood dinner and maybe give her a kiss at the end of the night. She’s beautiful.

    @Lesha The picture is viewable in a larger size in the BME Galleries, it had to be shrunk down a bit to fit on here.

    Sometimes we feature pictures that focus on the mods, sometimes we focus pictures that focus on the modified people. This one falls into the latter category.

    Gorgeous picture. I like the full-length ones that focus on the overall effect of the mods and person.

    Also, her shorts have made me want a pair.

    I would suggest out of personal preference any time that a picture is shrunk down for front page posting, a click through link is available with the full resolution picture. It really is a beautiful shot, but its hard to make out all the details.

    Of course, that is unless there’s a specific reason not to do so. :p Either way, my hats off to the girl in the picture – stunning!
