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.

These aren’t the droids we’re looking for

Written by

Rob

Leave it to Brian to yet another nerdy scar that looks incredible.  I talked to Brian shortly before he started work on this piece at the Philly tattoo convention, and asked him about what technique he was going to use.  If you recall the last Star Wars scar he did he combined both cutting and branding to create a phenomenal piece.  Well it turns out that branding wasn’t an option this time around as the smell of burning flesh tends to overpower other scents.

In any case, you can see that even without branding this scar turned out fantastic.

Head on over to Brian’s BME portfolio gallery to see some of the other scars that he did at the convention.
