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.
  • Cenobite Body Torture

    Now I’m not implying that this particular photo was sent in by Pinhead, just that if a cenobite were to remove their pants, this potentially is what you may see.

    You know exactly what it is.  Which means you know why it’s been pixelated.  Keep on reading to see the unedited version.

    As you’ve probably guessed, this came from the CBT – Cock Torture gallery.


  • Urban Buddha

    Buddha has been portrayed in countless ways over the centuries.  Keegan Lam from Forever Ink in Toronto came up with this interpretation of Buddha which he calls “The Urban Buddha“.

    I realize that this is a portrayal of Budai, however western culture has come to know him more commonly as the Laughing Buddha.


  • Resurrection at dusk

    JakeMindsnared is a lucky guy.  Not only does have have some fantastic scars by Anders and Efix, he also gets to suspend at sunset overlooking Australia’s Gold Coast.

    Jake pierced himself for this suspension, and set up the rigging with the help of his buddy, IAM:LostCause.


  • Look both ways

    So the last time I posted a tattoo of a statue, I may have mistaken Moses for Zeus.  Well this time I’m positive this is a statue of Janus.  Coincidentally this tattoo is by another Kipod Tattoo artist, Michael Kozlenko.


  • Circular reasoning

    It’s great seeing artists grow in their work, especially ones like Misty, who continually put their work out into the public and communicate with other professionals in order to improve.  What you end up with is pieces like this, a fantastic Ourobors scarification piece, that show just how much she’s improved in such a small time.

    You can see more of Misty’s work in her BME portfolio.  Given that she only started scarification work in the past year, with how well she’s progressing, I can’t wait to see what comes next.


  • See Saw

    The St. Petersburg, Russia based suspension group #Leeds is back with a new series of suspension photography.

    The theme for this photo in particular was from the Saw film franchise.  As for the quote, keep in mind English isn’t their first language, so just enjoy the photo of the invisible chair suspension.


  • Leather and Lacing

    The gang over at Tribal Trading Netherlands has sent in a whole new crop of photos of their corset photoshoots.  This time around they were experimenting with smooth segment rings, and ended up with these leg corsets.

    Oh, and they happen to be attached to a girl.  I hope that isn’t a problem.


  • BMEtv – Dan Montgomery

    For today’s BMEtv video we’ve got a special treat for you.  The BME World Tour gang had a chance to sit down with Dan Montgomery, and talk to him about life with a prosthetic eye.  When Dan was young he had an accident with a pair of scissors, which left him blind in one eye.  Due to complications later in life, he had to have the eyeball removed, and has since lived with what is commonly referred to as a glass eye.

    Dan’s extremely well spoken, and it’s definitely worth the time to check out the interview.

    To hear the rest of Dan’s story, keep on reading!

    If you’ve missed any of the videos so far, you can check out the rest of them in the BME World Tour Video Gallery


  • Quoth the raven…

    This interesting take on a raven comes from Brendan Boswell, out of Kingsland Ink, in Auckland NZ.

    It reminds me of stencil graffiti, like something Banksy would do.


  • Digital Love

    _xiphiaz loves technology.  So much so that his very first tattoo ended up being one of the most impressive nerdy tattoos I’ve ever seen.

    Corey Weir from Monk3ys in Auckland, NZ is the artist behind this technological construct.  Please note, I purposefully avoided a Superman 3 reference, as it would have taken away from the sheer awesomeness of this sleeve.
