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.

    This isn’t the first Harry Potter scar I’ve seen, and I’m sure it won’t be the last — whether he died in the new book or not… This one is on Princess Anna, by CutThroat in Arizona.

    Tetsuo let Howie (who’s starting to add questionable tattooing to the broad repertoire of body art he provides) design and ink this piece for him while at Metalurgey in Dundee, Scotland… He writes, “I got it ’cause it was freeeeeeee!” In any case, I predict this entry will make Giles even angrier.

    Andro from Haunted Tattoos and Piercing in London, UK sends in this shot of a brand-new white chin tattoo (among other things, he specializes in whitework) — I guess because of the way the flash has illuminated the surface ink, it’s absolutely glowing!
