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.

You know someone is a fan of video games when they get a tattoo of a video game character from a game that isn’t even released yet.  Diablo 3 is sure to be a big hit, and this tattoo of the witch doctor by Roger from Star City Tattoo in Roanoke, VA shows us just how excited Diablo fans are for the new game.

    I’m surprised there haven’t been any Amy Winehouse tribute tattoos yet.

    The colors in that look amazing. I’d love to see if they stay so vibrant and clear when healed.

    Diablo 2 ruined my life enough already, I don’t need a permanent reminder… Sweet tattoo though, great use of blur, really well done!

    I’ll post the healed pic as soon as possible. Eternal Ink and Swashdrive machines. Aquaphor cuts the healing time by 4-5 days. The faster healing time helps to maintain that fresh tattoo look. My customers are constantly asked if the piece is new, sometimes on 5 year old work.
