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.

I think I got a cavity just looking at this tattoo by James Pruitt from Alliance Tattoo Lounge in Yuma, AZ.

I’m pretty sure that diamond is actually a ring-pop.

    I can’t work out the placement, is that an arm, a leg, a side, a back?

    I’m pretty sure it’s her side, and the right side is the profile of her lower back (you can see her top, and a bit of pants). It kinda looks like it’s covering stretch marks maybe.

    Some of the linework doesn’t look so bad, but that diamond/ring pop… Whoa.

We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break.
