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.

Look under your bed

Written by

Rob

Those of us that were born in the 80s (or earlier) may remember a movie called “Little Monsters“.  Fred Savage plays the hero kid, and Howie Mandel plays the comic relief “good guy” monster Maurice.  If you get a chance, go check it out.  But first, take a look at this Maurice tattoo done by Josh Downing from Drunken Monkey in Saginaw, MI.
