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.

(BME)Girls On Film

Those of us that were around in the 80s might remember Duran Duran’s single “Girls on Film”.  It’s a safe bet that if you’ve seen the video, you’ll never forget the song.  So when a BMEGirl sends in some photos including a heart with the chorus for Girls on Film you know you’re in for a treat.

Those legs belong to lavenderbrown, who is the BMEGirl in question.  To see the rest of her, you’ll have to keep on reading.

Credit for the heart goes to Loz from Westside in Brisbane, Aus, while the 80s cartoon inspired sleeve in progress is a collaborative piece from the artists at Illicit Tattoo in Auckland, NZ.  If you look close you can see the outlines of Jem and Rainbow Brite.

You can see more photos of this lovely BMEGirl in the BMEGirls gallery.  As well, you can check out more heart tattoos here, and cartoon tattoos here.

    She’s gorgeous!

    Love the Duran Duran tattoo, and it’s such a nice idea – I’ve been contemplating one since I was 14, but still haven’t managed to decide on a design. I’m going to see them for the 6th time the week after next, then again in May. I can’t wait! 😀
