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.

The Lemmy

Written by

Rob

There are gods that walk amongst us daily.  One of those gods is the one and only Lemmy Kilmister.  Not only is he one of the greatest metal singers to ever grace the planet, he’s also got a style of facial hair named after him.  Here he is immortalized on skin by Steven Kerr from Liquorice Tattoo in Kirriemuir, Scotland.

If you’re wondering why I posted this today, well tomorrow happens to be Lemmy’s 65th birthday.  Plus today is going to be somewhat festive, so  to get you in the mood, here’s Lemmy, Billy Gibbons, and Dave Grohl doing Run Run Rudolph.
