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.
  • The power of three

    What’s better than three gorgeous women standing in a row?  How about three gorgeous women suspending on a spinning bar.

    If you recognize the room, it’s because that’s the same room in Moscow The Sinner Team used for their last tandem suspension.

    This particular suspension consisted of a 4pt elbow suspension, and two 2pt knee suspensions.  There are a lot more photos in the Sinner Team’s gallery, so just click on the picture above to check them out.


  • Bound Beauty

    There is something about this photo that makes it hard for me to look away.  This statuesque beauty bound by black bands and string, strong and in control of herself as well as those who look upon her.

    Bart Bastiaanse from Tribal Trading in Tilburg, Netherlands, did an exquisite job with the slave ball microdermals used to hold the corset in place.


  • Isn’t that sweet.

    I think I got a cavity just looking at this tattoo by James Pruitt from Alliance Tattoo Lounge in Yuma, AZ.

    I’m pretty sure that diamond is actually a ring-pop.


  • The box. You opened it. We came.

    Something tells me that Pinhead would be pleased to see the cube carved into someone’s flesh.

    Ighlif used a cautery pen to do the shading on the sides of the cube.


  • Going Deep

    Deep chest piercings are one of those rare kinds of piercings that are just staggering to look at.  The sheer intensity of the piercing alone is puts it in the realm of suspensions and other things that push the limits of a person.  I don’t have any information about these piercings, so I can’t tell you if they’re intended to last for any length of time or not, but the piercing process alone is something to be commended for.  These particular piercings were done at Sacred Art Body Piercing in Newcastle.


  • The art of life is to show your hand

    Gabor, the minimalist scarification artist/tattoo artist from Budapest has done it again with a nice looking hand scar. What’s great about Gabor is that his unique designs embrace a minimalistic abstract style of art, both in terms of design and execution.


  • Bullet Proof

    I’m really digging this typographic/abstract foot piece by James Dean Pruitt from Alliance Tattoo Lounge in Yuma, AZ.  The ink blurs give it an almost stenciled feel to it, with the paint being smeared as the stencil was removed.


  • BMEtv – Aaron Bond

    It’s time for another video from the Brisbane leg of the BME World Tour.  The past two videos have been from from Wild at Heart, and this one featuring Aaron Bond brings the count to three.  Aaron talks about both his inspirations, as well as his thoughts as a tattooist who splits his time between Australia and Sweden.

    To check out the video, just 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


  • Camping Buddies

    One of the best things anyone can do during the summer is head out into the wilderness, set up a tent, and get away from the world for a while.  For some it’s about getting away from the hustle and bustle of every day life, others take the time to commune with nature, and for a good number of people, it’s a chance to get together with some friends and do some bonding.  For these guys, it’s definitely a bonding experience.  Come rain or shine, these three will always have something to remember their days spent camping in the woods.

    And here’s a close-up of the tattoo by Alexey Zamotevsky from Kipod Tattoo, in Tel Aviv.


  • Navel Nullo

    So here’s the post a number of you have been waiting for.  In what I believe is a ModBlog first, Samppa has sent in photos of a complete navel nullification.  With posts like this I normally show you the before and after shots, but with the image of the procedure being so large it’ll be behind a click though so it doesn’t clog up the main page.

    To start with, here is the end result, 3 weeks after the procedure.

    Obviously healing isn’t complete, but it gives you a good idea of what it’ll look like.  To see how this was done, just keep on reading.

    Samppa is still on his US tour, so if you’re interested in this procedure or any of the other many thing’s he’s capable of, check out his website.  He also has a BME portfolio gallery that’s filled with all sorts of other modifications.
