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.

The bold and the beautiful

Written by

Joey Pang‘s brush stroke tattoos have always been incredible, but this single stroke is phenomenal.  I just wish we had a closer shot of the bottom section so we could see the detail she put into it.  She has a way of taking a tattoo machine and turning it into a giant paintbrush, the result of which is this single bold stroke that fits his body so well.
