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.

Back in black

Written by

Rob

You know a day is going to be a good one when you open up the recent additions to the galleries and discover that the gang at Kipod Tattoo in Tel Aviv have sent in a new batch of photos.

There aren’t enough good things to say about the bevy of talented artists they have out there, so I’ll just let the work speak for itself.  All the photos below are by George Samborsky.

But wait!  There’s more!  Keep on reading to see what other intricate geometric designs George has come up with.

And this is just the beginning of it.  Seriously, stop reading right now and go to the Kipod Studio Gallery.  You can thank me later.
