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.
  • 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.


  • Free Falling

    We’ve seen Stanislav from the Moscow based Sinner team perform his free fall suspensions here before, but up until now he was the only one doing them on his team.  Well that number has gone up by one now that his wife Elena has taken the plunge as well by performing a 50ft fall from an 80ft bridge.

    Not to be outdone by his partner in crime, Stanislav upped the ante by performing what I believe is the first backflip free fall suspension.

    After seeing these and the rest of the photos in their team gallery, I honestly have no clue what they’ll come up with next.


  • Mission Accomplished!

    We’ve been checking in with nonippleboy for a while now in his attempts to remove the tip of his nipple.  The last time we saw him his nipples had healed from the removal, but the new tissue was growing in much lighter than the rest of his nipple.

    So here we are a month later, and as you can see below he has finally reached his goal.

    You can go back and see the rest of the his transformation in the nipple nullification and nipple modification galleries.


  • The Eternal Struggle

    It is the end of days.  The fate of the world hangs in the balance between the forces of good and evil.  The champions have been chosen.   Two young boys, innocent prior to being selected, have been imbued with untold powers.  When the battle is over, only one shall remain, the victor claiming the fate of the world for his own, the other, dead, and with him all of the power that was given to him.

    With the defeat of their champion the losing side will forever be vanquished, never to return, leaving the world forever in the grips of good or evil.  Who do you think will win?

    Roger from Star City Tattoos in Roanoke, VA was the artist chosen by both sides to create these images of the boys immediately before the battle.


  • Changing her spots

    It’s said a leopard never changes its spots.  Well does that go for IAM users as well?

    This intense scarification on kiana t. was done by Steve Truitt from Ascension in New Mexico.


  • Comes A Time Tattoo (DC metro area) is looking for 1 talented tattooist.

    I figured, since I have often times posted wanted ads on here for others, it is only fair  I do so once for myself.

    My shop, Comes A Time Tattoo, in Fairfax, VA (20 minutes outside of DC) is looking for one talented tattoo artist to join our crew.  While, I myself do not own the shop, I will be handling the hiring process.

    First off, what we are looking for. We want an experienced talented artist with a portfolio to back it up. If you are not already licensed to tattoo in the state of VA, we would expect you to meet the requirements, and be willing to take the steps necessary to become licensed. We are an easy going, laid back shop and expect someone of the same mindset. Ego’s and drama are two things that will absolutely not be tolerated. Even though we are laid back, we expect any employee to take their job seriously. We need someone willing to work a set schedule and to be here from open to close  on those days.

    What we have to offer. Whoever we hire will get to work in an extremely nice shop, in a busy (and very affluent) area. Our first time clients almost always compliment our shops decor and lay out. They will have a nice private locked room, with their own sink.
