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.
  • Blue Sofa Tattoo

    OK, so it doesn’t have the geek factor that the Eames RAR tattoo does, but I’m sure there’s still a strong person reason for the blue counch. Tattoo by Tom at Ace in the Hole in Deep Ellum, Dallas, Texas.

    Anyway, I’m afraid that’s it for today. I’ve got to do a draining day (or three) of building synonym databases that I’ve been putting off a bit. There’s more to see on the main BME site of course as well (and I’ll post an update there today).


  • Temporary Star Piercing

    This reminds me of the recently posted heart surface weaving.


  • Very intense testicle play video

    I’ve posted some very intense videos here before (and of course there’s the massive repository of similar ones on BMEvideo), but I really want to emphasize to people that even if you’re steeled to this sort of thing, this particular video may be a little heavy. I’m posting it here because I was asked about what caused the damage in a previous entry on genital splitting.

    I did want to add though that I’ve seen his balls since that photo was posted and he’s already looking much healthier. Again, adults only and viewer discretion strongly advised.

  • Six Year Old Tattoo Artist

    Earlier this month I posted a nine year old tattoo artist, and I’ve posted about young “artists” before that as well, but I wanted to share these two photos from Spirytus who got tattooed by his six year old daughter Nadia on his 29th birthday, a red heart and her name on his knee. When she was four she also tattooed a cat with whiskers on him.


  • Fineline Scarification

    You know, I made what could be interpretted as a disparaging remark about high detail tattooing when I posted the simple Russian branding earlier this week. So I wanted to make up for it and post this picture (by Big Rick) from the recent So Cal BME BBQ — this is Whitespace and gogo_savvy, who both have excellent examples of high quality high detail work.
