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.

Welcome to BME

According to the description attached to this photo, Toino has been working on his tattoos non-stop for the past three years.  After getting work done by Richard Van Pelt, Stefano Negro and Hohepa Goebel, Toino has decided to sign up to BME to become a member of the community.

Let’s give him a nice warm welcome.
