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.

I’m pretty certain there are quite a few ModBlog readers who would list those three things as their favorite ModBlog topics.  So why not put them all together?

This dashing young man goes by the name of Somekindarobot, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s his birthday tomorrow!  So lets wish this bearded gent a very happy birthday.

If you’re a big fan of his arm, you can check out more in the tribal and blackwork gallery.

    @boelze: it’s the alchemical symbol for clay, as that’s the medium he uses for his art.
