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.

Here’s what Jesse Smith had to say about this creation:

“He was lead to believe that he was helping. Unfortunately his eagerness to help will cost him his life.” This tattoo illustrates a day in the life of one of my soccer buddies who is a master chef at the infamous Shafer Court. It took me about 15 hours to complete.

I love how he’s captured three different emotions with each of the characters.  The rabbit’s stern look of determination is countered by the manic glee of the chef approaching from behind.  Of course, who can forget the poor carrot, he knows he’s done for.  The question now is, will it be the rabbit or the chef who finishes him off.
