BME: Body Modification Ezine

A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

    As the first person to ever successfully complete a facial suspension, Supa is always looking for a challenge when it comes to suspension.  At a recent Kaptive8 Suspension Krew event, Supa left it up to chance when it came time to suspend.  The number of hooks, hook placement, and orientation were all randomly drawn from a hat.  In the end it was 7 hooks, spread across his left knee, left thigh, right calf, right upper back, top of the ass crack, right butt cheek, and throat.  Positioning was set as his left side facing up.  So what does a random suspension look like?  This.

    I’m kind of surprised I haven’t seen more tattoos for Little Big Planet.  Given how much you can customize your ball of yarn, it’s a canvas just waiting to be explored.  This one was done by Mark Bailey from Golden Dragon Tattoo Studio in Chester, England.

    This is nothing short of epic in both scope and execution.  Wang from Tattoo Temple has really outdone himself with this Helios brushwork piece.

    This week’s follow-up is of a branding that we saw back in February.

    Normally when it comes to scarification 2 months in is still pretty fresh in terms of overall healing, however when the brand is over heavy blackwork, the end result is easily visible.

    If you haven’t guessed by now, this was done by none other than Brian Decker.
