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.

“It’s just a bit of…harmless brain alteration, that’s all.”

Written by

Rob

The extent of my knowledge of Wallace and Gromit is that they’re claymation characters from some British animation studio, and evidently they’re super popular.  As with everything popular, eventually someone will get a tattoo of it.  Katy Colvin from Liquorice Tattoo in Kirriemuir, Scotland sent in this piece of the claymatic duo on a fan’s arm.  Liquorice Tattoo has been sending in a lot of really great portraits lately so expect to see more from Katy in the coming weeks.

The full size image of this one can be found in the newly renamed Cartoon & Comic Gallery.
