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.

    BMEtv – Alex “Rusty” Cairns

    Written by

    Rob

    Today’s BME World Tour video takes us to TatuDharma in Syndey where the crew sat down with Alex “Rusty” Cairns.  We talked with Alex about how he got involved with tattooing, and his take on the business side of the art.

    Also, you may have noticed that the Anders video was taken down.  It turns out I posted that one ahead of schedule and our editors hadn’t had a chance to finalize it (hence the lack of graphics and wrong aspect ratio).  I’ll get it back up as soon as they get a chance to finalize the editing.

    In the meantime, let’s take a look at today’s BMEtv interview.
