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.

    Is there anything tribal cover-ups can’t solve?
    Is it that time of month, or are you just happy to see me?

    Um… is the fairy on the left taking a piss?
