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.

Poor little guy

Stuck on an ice floe with a freshly amputated leg is no way to go through life son.  At least he had enough sense to put on his hat and scarf.

    this tattoo is a very strange mix of techniques. I’m most perplexed by the bottom border and lack of top boarder.

    My problem is that the foot is just suspended against the wing in midair, the wing should be curled to act as an anthromorphic hand thing. Also its cute and morbid, wonder what the story is behind this.

    It’s not suspended. The end of it is tucked behind his body. The leg is tucked between the wing and body. Jeez. It’s cute. I like it.
