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.

Is it pandering…

Written by

Rob

When someone submits a “Beard Love” tattoo?  Granted Lauranomaly probably loves all beards, so it’s not really pandering, but it sure is a good way to get me to take notice.  Anyone else think BME needs a beard gallery?

This will probably also be the finest use of the “Hearty Beards” tag.

    I think this is a Wheezy Waiter tattoo! That exact beard symbol is his logo! His fans are called Beard Lovers =]

    Add another “yes please” vote for a beard/stache gallery. Have any of you watched American Beardsmen yet?
