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.

And we’re back

Written by

Well, I am anyway.  So around the time ModBlog came online, my internet connection went offline.  But you don’t care about that, you want to see something cool.  Well how about Hetty’s awesome backpiece by Loz from Cookies Tattoos in Worcester.

Come to think of it.  It’ll probably look better with some color added.  Keep on reading to check out the finished product.

Yep, that’s much better.

    Ah-mazing! I love the contrast of the starkly, firmly outlined body and face and the soft blending of the tail feathers. Completely stunning

    I actually said “Fuck me!” when I saw this. No jokes. This is the kind of backpiece I imagine for myself one day.

    Those colors are amazing. If the artist does a dark background or adds more black it would be blinding! Her skin is to compliment, as well. 🙂
