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.

From this little worm to David Bowie’s codpiece, Labyrinth is a fantastic film filled with amazing images that are just ripe for tattoo material.  Jay Wheeler from Eternal in Detroit put together this piece of the worm and one of the door knockers.
