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.

Arms and the man

Written by

Rob

Taking a quick look below, you can see the arms.  Vincent Hocquet is the man.  The man has a BME portfolio gallery that is filled with incredible geometric tattoos.

The fact that it’s all dotwork was enough to fry my brain.  I can barely draw a straight line.  Imagine creating these intricate figures using dots!

    About ten years ago, I was in a science camp at the local university. One of the programs we worked with in Basic generated fractals dot dot using some quasi random function. His choice of all dotwork makes perfect sense to me.

    I’m an artist, and when I do this with micron pen it’s called stippling… I assume it’s the same for tattoos. It takes forever, but usually produces pretty awesome results.

    That’s more amazing than it looks because the arms aren’t a perfect cylinder.
